A link in bio serves as a central hub to showcase your online presence in your social media profile by arranging links in an attractive design that complements your personal style. Bio Sites comes with customizable templates and integrations to help your link in bio stand out.
Bio Sites can be applied in a multitude of different ways that help you with self-promotion, sharing links you care about, and advertising your latest content.
Why get a link in bio tool?
A link in bio is a simple way to share everything you care about in one place, no matter where those different links live online. Whether you have a website or not, a link in bio page is a way to bring together the many different parts of you and share them with one URL.
For those who don’t have time to design a website just yet, a link in bio is a quick way to claim your space online. Once you do have a website, it’s a useful tool for driving traffic to your site from your social media profiles.
How to choose a link in bio tool
When choosing where to build your link in bio, think about your goals for the page. Do you want something you can customize to feel like a reflection of you and your aesthetic? What are some of the types of things you’d like to share eventually? Compare your options based on your priorities.
Bio Sites is an ideal all-in-one option thanks to its integrations and design features. On Bio Sites, you can add links to any site, add interactive widgets, and use templates and customization tools to create a page that matches your preferred look.
If you’re not sure what you’d use a link in bio tool for, read on for a few ideas.
1. Share your content or client work
If you have a portfolio of content, are building one, or want to share what you’ve been up to, Bio Sites is a perfect tool to make that portfolio easily accessible. You can link to your portfolio website from your Bio Site or create a clickable grid of images featuring some of the recent work you’ve posted on social media.
Bio Sites also makes it easy to add shareable content to your link in bio page in different formats.
Music: Bio Sites integrates with Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud, so you can promote your latest music release or podcast episode.
Video: Embed a Youtube, Vimeo, or Twitch video on your Bio Site to display video content like vlogs, video tutorials, travel videos, gaming footage, and workout routines.
Social media: No matter where you share your Bio Site link, you can link back to your other social media accounts. Add clickable icons to direct your followers to your other social accounts or add URLs to your linkable grid to point people to specific pieces of content.
2. Share content you love
You don’t have to be a content creator to have a Bio Site. Instead, you can think of your link in bio as another way to express more of yourself online, separate from posting algorithms, trends, or filters.
You can use the same Bio Sites tools and integrations mentioned above to share media and links to things you love. Think of it as an endlessly customizable online space to show off who you are and what you care about.
Link your social profiles, add videos from creators you love, share your favorite song of the moment, or add links to causes you’re passionate about.

3. Crowdfund for a project or cause
Crowdfunding is a powerful method to gather funds from supporters who believe in your goal. It opens up fundraising to a broad audience, allowing you to test your idea and gain early backers.
You can crowdfund for anything from creative projects to a new business idea requiring financial support. Or you can collect donations for a timely cause, like environmental causes that help with disaster relief.
On Bio Sites, you can add a linked crowdfunding section where your followers can directly donate to your cause. The feature sets up sections for each goal you establish so you can see its progress. You can set suggested donation amounts or let your followers choose to pay what they wish.
4. Build your mailing list
You can add a mailing list sign-up to your link in bio page. Creating a mailing list enables you to stay in regular touch with your audience, sharing updates, news, promotions, and valuable content to build a stronger connection with your subscribers.
This is a great way to build a direct and engaged audience interested in what you have to share while also providing a consistent channel for communication.
You can also collect phone numbers for SMS text marketing. Or export your subscriber list to use for website marketing, like newsletters.
5. Monetize your links and share your products
Adding clickable links from your Bio Site is a great way to provide direct access to physical and digital products that you’re selling. You can direct links to a Squarespace site or any third-party site. What you link to will be based on what you’re offering. So you could link anything from a wishlist to your online store or second hand items that you’d like to sell.
If you use social media to share your content or products, create a linkable grid to point to specific products and posts. That way, you can mirror your profile and give your audience a preview of what you have. You can use the Squarespace Image Resizer to format your product photos for your social profile as well.
Bio Sites also has a Tip feature to provide another way for your audience to support you. You can input predefined tip amounts or let your followers choose what to pay to show their appreciation for your content.
You can also add paywalls to links in your Bio Site. This allows you to share exclusive content, like recipes, travel guides, or bonus videos or audio, to followers who pay to unlock the link.
