Commission is set by each retailer — LTK publishes a 10–25% range. LTK keeps a cut of that, but doesn't publish how much, so this models the retailer's rate only. Selling your own product through Sell Bio Pro carries a 0% selling fee.

What LTK does well

LTK (formerly LikeToKnowIt) built one of the largest creator affiliate networks in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle. Creators tag products from partner retailers directly in their photos and videos; when a follower buys through the LTK app or a tagged link, the creator earns a commission. LTK also runs its own consumer-facing shopping app, which gives creators discovery traffic they wouldn't get from a bio link alone.

For a creator whose main revenue is recommending other brands' products, that combination — retailer network plus a shopping audience already primed to buy — is hard to replicate with a general-purpose bio link tool, and Sell Bio doesn't try to.

Where LTK stops: your own products and services

LTK is built around one flow: tag a retail product, earn a commission when it sells. It has no native checkout for products you sell yourself, no lead capture forms, and no way to ask a visitor a question and route them somewhere different based on the answer. If your revenue comes from coaching, courses, consulting, or your own digital products — not affiliate commission on other brands — LTK simply isn't built for that job.

Sell Bio fills exactly that gap with conditional flows and native checkout: a visitor answers a couple of questions, gets routed to the offer that fits them, and can pay you directly inside the flow — no retailer, no commission split, no redirect to someone else's store.

Two different revenue streams, often run together

These tools aren't really competing for the same job. LTK monetizes product recommendations; Sell Bio monetizes what you sell directly. Plenty of creators run both: LTK tagged links for the affiliate side of their content, and a Sell Bio bio link that routes the same audience toward their own coaching, course, or booking page.

The practical split is simple: if a follower wants to buy the outfit you're wearing, that's LTK's job. If a follower wants to work with you directly, that's where Sell Bio's funnel takes over.

Pricing compared

LTK charges creators no monthly fee — instead it keeps a share of the commission on every sale made through the platform, and creators must apply and be accepted (roughly 5K followers and a regular posting cadence) before they can tag products. Sell Bio charges a flat monthly fee from $29/mo with a 0% selling fee on Pro, and anyone can start today without approval.

Pricing is approximate. Check official sites for current rates. LTK does not publish a fixed price list — its model is commission-based and requires creator approval.

  • You're in fashion, beauty, home, or lifestyle content
  • You want access to LTK's own shopping app audience
  • You're comfortable applying and meeting its creator criteria

The winning combination

LTK for tagging the products you recommend, Sell Bio as the bio link that routes the same audience toward your own coaching, courses, or bookings. One tool covers affiliate income, the other covers direct revenue — together they cover more of what a creator actually monetizes.

LTK is an affiliate shopping network — creators earn commission tagging retail products. Sell Bio is a funnel builder with lead capture and native checkout for what you sell yourself. They monetize different things and don't compete directly.

No. Sell Bio is self-serve with no application or follower minimum — you sign up and your bio link is live immediately. LTK requires creators to apply and be approved before joining its affiliate network.
