Earning on social media = inaccessible for small creators? This is now CHANGING thanks to RefSpace!
Do you still hear that making money on social media is only for large accounts? That’s a myth that’s coming to an end. Today, you don’t need your own products, company, or thousands of followers to start working. Thanks to RefSpace, you can earn as a creator – even with a small community. In this post, we’ll show you how this model works, what’s changing, and why this could be your time to start.
Small creator = small earnings? Not today! Earning on social media is no longer just a game for giants
You don’t need hundreds of thousands of followers to earn – you need a sensible idea and an engaged community. It could be 200 people who trust you, not 200,000 who scroll through your content without reaction. The way of thinking about earning on social media is changing – it’s not about scale, but about the relationship.
In recent years, many myths have emerged about who can earn on Instagram or TikTok. The most common blocks?

Discover the potential of your personal brand!
Join a platform where creators can earn money online and build their personal brands by recommending products and services from brands and partners they truly respect.
- “I don’t have enough followers.”
- “I don’t have my own products.”
- “I don’t know how to sell.”
- “Earning money is only for top influencers.”
That’s a thing of the past. Platforms like RefSpace have shown that it’s enough to tell a good story about something you know and like. Even if you speak to a niche group – DIY enthusiasts, French bulldog owners, or people who just bought their first book on Ayurveda – you can earn. And earn significantly.
Authenticity wins over massiveness. This is visible not only in campaign data but also in real examples. Small accounts that recommend thoughtfully make bigger conversions than those “big” ones that spam ads. So if you have 500 people on Instagram and you’re afraid it’s too little – think again. RefSpace works in such a way that these “small circles” can provide you with a regular income – without stress, without a company, without playing the expert.
How to earn on social media if you don’t have a product? In RefSpace, you… choose it
You don’t need to create your own product to start earning from what you show on social media. RefSpace gives you access to a catalog of ready-made products – cosmetics, books, gadgets, e-books, planners – that you can add to your store with one click. You choose what you recommend, and a commission goes to your account if someone buys from your Space.
What does this mean in practice?
- You don’t have to produce, print, or send anything.
- You can start right away – even this evening.
- You earn on commission – exactly like in the classic affiliate model.
- You don’t need a company, business activity, or unregistered activity – you operate as an individual.
This is a revolution for people who have knowledge but not necessarily a product. Do you run a profile about skincare? You can recommend tested cosmetics. Do you create content about planning? Add a planner you use yourself. Do you show home tips? Recommend functional gadgets. And you don’t have to wait for cooperation – you choose what you have in your offer.
All your recommendations in one place? RefSpace is a store that connects with YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok
Instead of sending people from your Instagram bio to linktree and from TikTok to your bio, you can finally put everything in one place. RefSpace gives you a ready “Space” – something between a profile, a store, and a place where all your influence is accumulated. Not only can you add products you recommend there, but also – importantly – link them directly to video content.
And not in theory, but in practice:
- A “buy now” button appears under YouTube videos,
- on TikTok and Instagram, you can link to specific products in your Space,
- Your video reviews act as full-fledged sales campaigns,
- everything you recommend lands in a single panel that you can oversee.
This really changes the game. Instead of explaining to people where to click, you just post the material, and the link does its thing. Products are visible exactly where you build a relationship – by your content. Moreover, you can see in the panel what gets clicked, what sells, and where you truly have influence.
Our observations show that such integration significantly translates into results. Not because it’s some “magical solution,” but because it shortens the path from interest to purchase. And as we know – the shorter this path, the greater the chance that someone will click, buy, and… come back for more.
Don’t want to build a store from scratch? See how earning on social media is handled by RefSpace for you
Most people give up on e-commerce because they are intimidated by the prospect of handling everything: platforms, domains, payments, returns, GDPR, privacy policy, and customer contact. With RefSpace, that’s simply not the case. You set up your Space, and that’s it. Really. Without logistics, without formal requirements, without integration with payment systems.
In practice, it looks like this:
- you don’t handle shipping, packaging, or complaints – the supplier does that,
- you don’t create graphics, product cards, or regulations – they’re ready for you,
- you don’t invest in the platform or domain – Space is free,
- you don’t need to have a business – you operate as an individual and earn legally.
For many creators, it’s the first time they can earn online without feeling overwhelmed by technicalities. Because RefSpace is not a tool for “store ninjas,” but for people who create content and want to monetize it on their own terms.
That’s why RefSpace is chosen by those who never dared to enter sales before. Not because they lacked potential – but because everything around was too difficult, too expensive, too complicated. Here, everything is served on a plate – you decide what to show and how to earn.
Want to sell but don’t know how to start? Earning on social media starts with… one click
The biggest myth about earning online? That you need to know everything from the start. The truth is, most people just… don’t start because they fear the first step. RefSpace is the place that simplifies this. Literally: click – you set up Space, click – you select products, click – you add a description or video. And you can start operating.
Why does it work?
- Because you don’t need a five-year strategy – you test in real-time.
- Because lack of technical knowledge doesn’t hold you back – the interface is simple.
- Because everything happens in one place – you’re not jumping between apps.
- Because you can have the first product in your store 15 minutes after registration.
When starting with RefSpace, you don’t have to wonder “is it really for me”. You can simply try. Low risk, zero start-up costs, and the opportunity to realistically check if your audience wants to buy the items you recommend.
It’s this entry threshold – close to zero – that makes RefSpace a choice for creators who have been just “audiences” in the e-commerce world until now. Now they can be on the other side, without giving up authenticity and their unique form of communication.
Leszkomoto, Tryfonka, and others show how to earn on social media on their terms – you can too
You don’t need a super modern studio, a young team, or a perfect strategy in Excel to start earning. Leszkomoto TV runs a channel about automotive topics and just… showcases products he personally uses. Tryfonka Maluje – a 50+ creator, shares her daily life with paints and recommends things she likes. That’s all – yet both are earning.
What connects them?
- authenticity – they don’t recommend things for money, but because they truly know them,
- consistency – they regularly post content where products are part of the narrative,
- use of RefSpace – thanks to this, their viewers can purchase things with one click.
This shows that you don’t have to be an advertising specialist to create effective sales. Just create something valuable and don’t hesitate to say: “Hey, I use this – you can check it out here.”
Many creators we work with had the exact same concerns: “Will anyone buy?”, “Will it look like an ad?”, “Will it work?” Today they know that through RefSpace they can grow on their terms, without the pressure of algorithms and corporate-like briefs.
It works because it supports not only sales but also personal brand building – based on trust, honesty, and real value. This is what the new model of earning on social media looks like – without tension, without pretending to be someone else, but with an honest approach to the community.
FAQ
Can you earn on social media if you have few followers?
Yes – and it’s no lie. In RefSpace, it’s not the number of followers that counts, but how you engage your community. Even a few hundred active people are enough to sell some products and see real results. Have influence? You have a chance to earn.
I don’t have my own product – can I sell something?
You can – RefSpace provides a ready catalog of products that you can add to your Space. You choose, describe, promote. All sales are commission-based, so you earn when someone buys by your recommendation. Zero inventory, zero shipping, zero stress.
Do I need a business to earn with RefSpace?
No, you don’t need a company. You are operating as an individual and legally withdrawing your earnings. This is a huge difference compared to classic e-commerce models, where having a business can be necessary right from the start.
What does the process look like – what do I need to do to start?
You set up a Space, choose products, and post links where your audience is. You can add your own descriptions, photos, record a video. Everything is intuitive – even if you’ve never run a store, you’ll get it in a few minutes.
Who handles customer service, returns, and shipments?
The suppliers handle that. You don’t have to pack anything, print, or manage complaints. Your task is promotion – everything else works in the background. This is one of the reasons why RefSpace is so convenient for creators.
Can I connect RefSpace with YouTube, TikTok, Instagram?
Yes – and that is the strength of this platform. Products from your Space can be visible directly under videos, in bio, on stories. You don’t have to explain where to click – the link leads straight to the product.
