What is a Link in Bio?
A Link in Bio or a link tree is a special landing page that displays brief information and multiple links at a quick glance. It became a term of its own because it originated from people posting different links on their Instagram profiles.
On Instagram, users can’t share links in post captions or inside stories. As a workaround people started posting a promo link, a video, a news article, anything that they want to draw attention to on Instagram’s biography section. But there is only one spot for a web link on a profile screen. And sometimes you want to add more than one link on there. Or you don’t want to remove your own website URL. So because of this need to post multiple links on that one Link in Bio, many solutions began to pop up. Even entire companies were founded doing just that: creating Link in Bio pages!
But of course, a Link in Bio can be used on any social media profile as well as other media like inside newsletters, text messages, or picked up on QR codes. See our 5 clever ways to use Link in Bio pages with 5 templates.
5 Tips to make your Link in Bio perform well:
With such short attention spans, especially on social media, you want the Link in Bio to perform for you at a quick glance. The best practices are:
- Make it on brand: Your logo, profile image, name, and a quick headline should appear on this page. It is possible that your Link in Bio may be shared out in the wild. So taking ownership of it is key. Claim a branded URL, and customize the link extension for a clean link. It’s even better to customize your Link in Bio page with your own brand’s visual style guide. Click on the section color scheme to set the main color for the Link in Bio page.
- Make sure the most important info and link(s) show up above the fold. Above the fold is the visible part of the screen without having to scroll down. If you want viewers to scroll down, make the above-the-fold content exciting to want more. Lead the eye with part of an image or continuing text. This will make it clear that there is more to see.
- Let the main Call to Action stand out with a different color or background image. Avoid putting too many buttons back to back in the same style linking to similar types of content.
- Make link names short, snappy, and clear. Ideally they should all be one ore two words maximum. If you need to be more descriptive, diversify the position of a long link name. Either with a different color or by placing it in the middle of shorter link names. This will ease the reading pace.
- To let people “Watch in Link in Bio” use the Video Module. Copy paste URL or embed code of a video to play it inside the Link in Bio page. Turn the Autoplay setting on. So that viewers can immediately get a glimpse of your video, and will be more likely to continue watching.
