Link in bio ideas

What to put on your link in bio page, for 13 kinds of work. Pick yours, copy the list and build it in a few minutes.

Creators

People come from one post and want more of you. Lead with the newest thing, then the ways to keep up.

  1. Your latest video or post Most taps come from people who just saw it and want the rest.
  2. A "start here" pick Your best piece for someone who has never heard of you.
  3. Newsletter sign-up The one audience no algorithm can take away.
  4. Brand deal contact A short form or email for collabs, with your rates or media kit.
  5. Merch or digital products Presets, guides or shirts, with prices so nobody has to ask.
  6. Every other platform Icons for YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and the rest, not ten separate buttons.
  7. Gear and affiliate links The camera, mic and apps people ask about in comments.
  8. A way to tip A small "buy me a coffee" button for people who want to say thanks.

YouTubers

Your bio link is where viewers go after the video ends. Send them to the next one.

  1. Latest video Pulled in automatically, so the link never goes stale.
  2. A playlist for newcomers Five videos that explain what the channel is about.

The order matters more than the list

Most people tap one thing and leave. Put the thing most visitors came for first: the newest video for a creator, the booking button for a salon, the menu for a restaurant. Then the ways to keep in touch, then everything else.

Three rules that hold for every niche:

  1. Fewer, clearer links. Five good ones beat fifteen. Every extra button makes the right one harder to find.
  2. Words people tap. "Book a haircut" beats "Booksy." "New video: how I edit" beats "YouTube."
  3. Keep it current. Remove last month's sale and dead links; the link in bio audit checks for them.

Measure what works

Tag the link in each profile with the UTM builder so you can see which platform sends visitors, and look at which buttons get tapped. Move the winners up and cut the rest. makerhandle shows clicks per link and where visitors came from, built in.

Questions

How many links should a link in bio have?

Usually five to eight. Enough to cover what people come for, few enough that the main one stands out.

What should be first?

Whatever most visitors want: your newest content, your booking button or your shop. Check your click numbers and let them decide.

Should I use Linktree or my own page?

A link in bio tool is quicker than a website and easier to update. makerhandle includes booking, hours and products on the free plan, and your own domain on Pro.

Can I copy these lists?

Yes. Each list has a Copy button, free to use however you like.
