Introducing: Beacons Business-in-a-Box
(Because your brand deserves a better link in bio)
The biggest frustration of being a creator: there’s no “playbook” for success. That’s where Beacons comes in. You might know them for their link in bio tool, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Beacons is a full, “all you need” platform to turn your content into a thriving business. With ONE Beacons account, you get:
– The coolest & easiest link in bio / website builder
– A digital storefront for all of your products, including affiliate products
– Automated sales funnels to drive more sales
Just for the Passionfruit community, you can sign up for a free month of Beacons’s Seller Pro plan and get a custom domain, 0% selling fees, and unlimited emails (normally $30/mo – which TBH, is a really good deal anyway). Just use code PASSIONFRUIT when you sign up.
