Free Link-in-Bio Guide: Setup, Best Practices & Monetization

1 What is a link in bio?

A link in bio is a single URL you put on social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) that opens a page with multiple links—videos, products, newsletters, bookings, whatever you want to share.

It's basically a mini homepage for your social media presence.

2 Why it matters

One link, many options: Social platforms limit you to one link. Your bio link is your hub.
Control the order: Put your most important link first.
Track results: See which links get clicked.
Make money: With the right tool, your bio link becomes a revenue source.
