# A link in bio that grows your list

> A link in bio that grows your newsletter: a subscribe box with double opt-in, or a button to Substack, beehiiv or Kit, plus everything else you make.

Put a subscribe box right on your page, or a button to the newsletter you already run, next to the books, products and projects you make.

## Two ways to collect subscribers

Turn on the subscribe block and choose:

- **makerhandle's own list.** Visitors enter their email, get a confirmation message, and only count once they confirm (**double opt-in**). Every email includes an unsubscribe link, and you can export the list as CSV any time.
- **A button to your newsletter.** Link straight to your Substack, beehiiv, Kit, Buttondown or Mailchimp signup page, with your own button text.

Free covers up to 100 confirmed subscribers. Pro is unlimited. See [email subscribers](https://makerhandle.com/features/email-subscribers).

## See which posts send readers

Analytics count **subscribes as goals**, next to sources and UTM campaigns. Share your page from a post on X, a LinkedIn article and a podcast appearance, tag each link, and see which one actually grew the list.

There are no cookies and no stored IP addresses, so you do not need a cookie banner for your page's analytics. Read [link in bio and GDPR](https://makerhandle.com/blog/link-in-bio-cookie-banner-gdpr) and [grow a newsletter from your link in bio](https://makerhandle.com/blog/grow-newsletter-from-link-in-bio).

## Everything else you write and make

Writers rarely stop at one thing. Add your newsletter, your book, your course and your side project as **projects**, each with a cover or screenshot, a description and a link. Give each a status: a book still being written can be **Building**, a finished series can be **Discontinued** without disappearing.

If you sell a paid tier or a course through Stripe, connect a read-only key and show verified revenue. It is optional, and off by default.

## Simple pricing

Free forever for five projects and 100 subscribers. **Pro is $20 a year** for unlimited projects and subscribers, all seven templates, a custom domain and a year of stats. The **Minimal** template, with your bio set like a lede, suits writers especially well. See [pricing](https://makerhandle.com/pricing).

## Questions

### Can I connect Substack or beehiiv?

Yes, as a button that links to your signup page. Or use makerhandle's built-in list with double opt-in and CSV export.

### Does makerhandle send newsletters?

No. It collects confirmed subscribers and lets you export them. Send your issues with the tool you already use.

### How many subscribers are free?

Up to 100 confirmed subscribers on the free plan. Pro is unlimited.

### Is double opt-in required?

Yes. Every subscriber confirms by email, which keeps your list clean and protects you from fake signups.
