I Built MyKiosk After Bento.me Shut Down - And It Turned into Something Bigger

Looking at these two review request emails, Review Request A (the first one) would likely be more effective at attracting attention and encouraging someone to submit a review.

When Bento.me shut down, a lot of creators were left scrambling.

It was simple, clean, and effective — a modern “link in bio” that just worked. Instead of waiting for another platform to replace it, I decided to build my own.

But I didn’t just want to clone Bento.

I wanted to evolve it.

From “Link in Bio” to “Launch a Business in Minutes”

Over the past few years, I’ve built relationships with 10,000+ brands across the U.S.

That gave me an idea:

What if a link-in-bio page didn’t just display links… What if it allowed anyone to instantly start selling real products from real brands?

So I started vibe coding.

I built a Notion-style + Bento-like editor that lets anyone:

  • Create a beautiful, customizable link-in-bio page
  • Add products directly from established U.S. brands
  • Launch a drop shipping business in minutes
  • Start monetizing traffic immediately

No inventory. No supplier hunting. No complex integrations.

Just plug in, publish, and sell.

Introducing: MyKiosk 👉 https://mykiosk.ai

MyKiosk is more than a link-in-bio tool.

It’s a creator commerce engine.

Instead of just sending traffic to other platforms, you can now:

  • Own your page
  • Feature curated brand products
  • Earn from every sale
  • Turn followers into customers

Whether you’re:

  • A creator
  • An influencer
  • A niche community builder
  • Or someone who wants to test eCommerce with zero friction

You can launch in minutes.

Why This Matters

We’re moving into a world where:

  • Every creator is a storefront
  • Every audience is a distribution channel
  • Every profile link should generate revenue

The old “link in bio” model was passive.

MyKiosk makes it active.

If you already have attention — even a small audience — you should be monetizing it.

The Bigger Vision

This isn’t just about replacing Bento.me.

It’s about lowering the barrier to entrepreneurship.

No coding. No sourcing. No complicated Shopify setup.

Just: Create → Curate → Share → Earn

If you’re interested in launching your own drop shipping storefront in minutes, I’d love to connect.

The future of creator commerce should be simple.

And I’m building it.

— What do you think the next evolution of “link in bio” should look like?
