What is a link in bio?
A link in bio is a single, short URL you place on social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, etc.) that opens a lightweight page listing your most important links—videos, products, newsletters, bookings, and more. It consolidates everything your audience needs into one tap.
Why it matters in 2025
- One tap, many paths: Social platforms still limit links—your bio link is your hub.
- Conversion control: Design, order, and calls-to-action determine what gets clicked.
- Measurable: Track clicks and outcomes to refine your offer mix.
- Monetizable: With the right tool, your bio link becomes a revenue source—not just a directory.
