PERSONALIZE YOUR LIST


Overview (why personalize your list)


BUENA isn’t some boring, impersonal list of products. It’s an immersive, interactive experience where your fans can shop with you.

You can add videos, photos, and notes to your list — this quick personal touch increases trust with your fans.

Additionally, plug in your other products, services, and social channels, so that BUENA shoppers can find you — creating new fans and customers in the process!

In short, a recommendation list gives context to anything you’re selling. Give it a try!

 

Add video embeds (web)


Increase Sales 2-5x with a video. Create something as short at 15 sec.!

Embed a video from TikTok, Vimeo, or Youtube into your BUENA list.

Add your services, consultations & products


We know you’ve got more going on than affiliate marketing.

Organically promote your services, consultations, and product line. Here are some examples:

  • A BUENA list of at Home Fitness Essentials, is an easy way to promote digital trainer services.
  • A BUENA list of Best Things to Do in XYZ, is a great lead for promoting travel agent services.
  • A BUENA list of My Skincare Routine is sets a foundation for a dermatologist consultation
  • A BUENA list with Winter Looks, is a tasteful way to include t-shirt line, and how it could fit in with other accessories

Add cover photos to your lists


Add a cover photo to your list — this will be displayed when people search for lists and yours is suggested, this image is also the cover photo for your OneLink LISTS tab.

SHARE YOUR LIST


Every list has a link — which means you can share it any way that you share any link.

Why share your BUENA List?

  • Anyone can shop your list — they don’t have to create a BUENA account or download an app.
  • Fans & shoppers can follow you from your BUENA List. This list of followers can be your new email/subscriber list you can re-market & provide exciting updates to! 
  • Increase sales and direct fans right to your BUENA list.

  • Email
  • SMS Marketing
  • WordPress Website

 

Share via Link in Bio

You can add a BUENA list to your link in bio (or any “link-in-bio tool”). We also have a link in bio tool designed for growth. Learn more about setting up a OneLink here.

 

Share via Twitch / Streaming

You can add a BUENA list to any streaming conversation. This has high conversion rates for BUENA Creators. Include it in the steaming caption. Have a friend ask a question about your favorite products, or have them drop a comment linking your list.

 

Share on Instagram Stories & Snapchat Stories

Post a quick IG story or Reel and add a link to the product list. This is a low commitment way to post original content that drives people to your recommendation list.

 

Share via QR Code (in-person, posters, business cards)

You can add your QR code to anything!

Learn how to create a QR code from any page here.

This is great for business cards or posters too.

 

Share via Email

Email is an easy way to keep up with fans. Schedule to have one list linked in each of your newsletters for passive income.

 

Share via Social Media

Your OneLink, lists, and products can all be shared anywhere via social media — we really recommend Pinterst and Discord — but use on whichever platform you see serving you best — Reddit, Twitter, Tumblr – you name it.

 

Share on WordPress Website (or Similar)

Look, we get it — you want to keep people on you website as long as possible. BUENA was founded by a professional blogger. People will EVENTUALLY leave your website.

Send readers from your WordPress website to your BUENA list, and so that they can save products and notes — then organize that information. This way, if they purchase later, you still get paid for your referral.

PUBLIC VS. PRIVATE LISTS

Why Public vs Private Lists

Public lists are for anyone to view and shop: it’s an easy way to help kickstart someone else’s plan.

Private lists are for any purchase you don’t want to share or for lists that aren’t ready for public viewing.
