Sell your study notes online
with one link.
If classmates keep asking for your notes, you already have a product and a market. linklck turns your notes into a paywalled link: set a price between $5 and $500, share the URL in your bio or class group, and every buyer pays before they see the content. No storefront, no monthly fee, and 15% only when you actually sell.
One rule before anything else: only sell notes you wrote yourself. Your own original summaries are yours to sell; lecture slides, textbook material, and past papers are not.
From notebook to paid link in three steps
Package your notes
Export your notes as a clean PDF, or organize them in a Google Doc or Drive folder and copy the share link. Short-form material (a formula sheet, a definitions list, an exam-day summary) can skip the file entirely: paste it straight into linklck as text or markdown and buyers read it on the unlock page.
Paywall the link and set your price
Create a linklck link, paste your share URL or text, and write the preview: course name, topics covered, page count, what grade the notes helped you earn. Set a price; most note sets land between $5 and $30. Publish, and you get a short branded URL like linklck.com/firehorse47 with Stripe checkout in front of your content.
Share it where your classmates already are
Put the URL in your social bios, answer questions in course subreddits with genuine help plus your link, or pin it before exam season. Buyers pay by card with no account and unlock instantly. You keep 85% of every sale, and payouts go to your bank through Stripe.
Suggested pricing for study notes
Students pay for time saved and grades protected. Price by how much of the course your notes replace:
| Notes format | Typical price | You keep (85%) |
|---|---|---|
| Single-topic cheat sheet or formula summary | $5–$10 | $4.25–$8.50 |
| Full-course note set (one semester) | $10–$25 | $8.50–$21.25 |
| Exam pack: notes + worked examples | $25–$40 | $21.25–$34.00 |
| Multi-course bundle (e.g. a whole year) | $40–$80 | $34.00–$68.00 |
There's no fixed per-transaction charge deducted from your share, so even a $5 cheat sheet is worth listing. Fee details on the pricing page.
What makes note sets actually sell
- Specificity wins. "CHEM 201 Organic Chemistry: full semester, 74 pages, every mechanism drawn out" sells; "chemistry notes" doesn't. Put the course code in your preview title.
- Show a sample page. Post a photo of one genuinely good page as your ad. If your handwriting or diagrams are the selling point, prove it before the paywall.
- Timing is everything. Note sales spike two weeks before midterms and finals. Have your link live and pinned before the panic starts, not during it.
- Reputation compounds. One accurate, well-organized pack sold honestly brings word-of-mouth buyers next semester. Never oversell what's inside. The preview should match the content exactly.

Selling study notes: FAQ
Is it legal to sell my study notes?
Selling notes you wrote yourself is generally fine: your own summaries, explanations, and worked examples in your own words. What you must not sell is other people's material, like professor's slides, textbook scans, past exam papers you don't own, or assignment solutions. Also check your university's academic-integrity policy, since some institutions restrict note-selling regardless of copyright.
How do buyers get the notes after paying?
On the unlock page, the moment payment clears. If your notes are a PDF or document, upload it to your own storage (Google Drive, Dropbox) and paywall the share link on linklck. Shorter content, like a formula sheet or a summary, can be pasted directly into linklck as text or markdown and is shown on the page itself.
What do study notes actually sell for?
Single-topic cheat sheets and formula summaries go for $5–$10, full-course note sets for $10–$25, and complete exam packs with worked examples for $25–$40. Notes for hard, high-enrollment courses (organic chemistry, thermodynamics, anatomy) command the top of each range.
Where do students actually buy notes from?
From other students they already follow or study with. A linklck URL works anywhere a link works: a studygram or TikTok bio, a class group chat, a course subreddit answer, or a pinned post. Buyers don't need an account. They pay by card through Stripe and get the notes in seconds, which matters the night before an exam.
Why not use a full storefront platform instead?
Because you're selling one or two note sets, not running a shop. linklck has no monthly fee and no store to set up. You paste a link, set a price, and share. The flat 15% fee (a $10 sale credits you $8.50) includes payment processing, and payouts arrive through Stripe.
