How do I create a link in bio page?
Go to linkship.cc, sign in with Google or GitHub, choose your username, and add your links. Your page is live at linkship.cc/yourname in under 2 minutes. All block types are free — product catalog, interactive map, WhatsApp, testimonials, music embeds, and more. No credit card required.
Here's the complete step-by-step guide.
What is a link in bio?
A link in bio is a single web page that contains all your important links in one place. Instead of sharing separate URLs for your store, YouTube, podcast, and social profiles, you share one link that leads to everything.
You need one because platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube only allow one clickable link in your profile. A link in bio tool solves this by giving you a page with unlimited links, organized how you want them.
Over 50 million creators worldwide use a link in bio tool. The market is valued at $1.62 billion and growing 13.2% annually (Grand View Research, 2024).
Step 1: Create your free account
Visit linkship.cc and click Create free. Sign in with your Google or GitHub account — there are no forms to fill out and no credit card required.
The entire signup takes about 30 seconds. You'll land directly in the editor, ready to start building your page.
What's included free:
- Unlimited links and blocks
- All block types (catalog, map, WhatsApp, testimonials, business hours, music)
- Color and font customization
- 7-day and 28-day analytics
- QR code generator
- Custom domain support
- Drag & drop reordering
Step 2: Choose your username
Pick a username that becomes your URL: linkship.cc/yourname.
Tips for a good username:
- Use the same handle as your Instagram or TikTok for consistency
- Keep it under 15 characters — shorter is easier to type and remember
- Avoid special characters — letters and numbers only
- For businesses, use your business name directly
If your preferred username is taken, try adding your city or niche: "sarahcooks" or "mikephoto".
Step 3: Add your links and blocks
This is where Linkship shines. Unlike other tools that limit free users to basic links, Linkship gives you access to every block type for free.
Basic links
Click Add block and choose Link. Paste any URL, add a title, and optionally add a thumbnail image. Your link is live immediately.
Common links to add:
- Your website or portfolio
- Your latest YouTube video or podcast episode
- Your online store (Shopify, Etsy, Gumroad)
- A booking page (Calendly, Acuity)
- Your newsletter signup
Social media icons
Add a Social media block to display recognizable icons for all your platforms. Linkship auto-detects the platform from your URL and shows the correct icon. Supported platforms include Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Twitter/X, LinkedIn, Threads, Pinterest, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitch, Discord, and more.
Product catalog
Perfect for creators who sell merchandise or businesses with products. Add items with:
- Product photo
- Name and description
- Price
- Buy link (to your Shopify, Etsy, or any store)
No commission. No e-commerce fees. Just a visual catalog that links to your checkout.
Interactive map
Show your physical location with an embedded Google Maps view. Visitors can see your location, get directions, and find you without leaving your page. Essential for restaurants, stores, salons, and any business with a physical location.
WhatsApp button
Add a direct WhatsApp contact button with a pre-filled message. When visitors tap it, WhatsApp opens with your number and a custom greeting already typed. Perfect for businesses that take orders or bookings via WhatsApp.
Business hours
Display your weekly schedule in a clean, scannable format. Each day shows your opening and closing times. Visitors instantly know when you're available.
Testimonials
Showcase customer reviews with star ratings, quotes, and author names. This block generates structured data (schema markup) that can appear in search results, boosting your SEO.
Music embeds
Embed tracks directly from Spotify, Apple Music, or SoundCloud. Visitors can preview your music without leaving the page. Essential for musicians, DJs, and podcasters.
Video embeds
Embed YouTube, TikTok, or Vimeo videos directly in your link page. Great for showcasing your latest content.
Step 4: Customize your design
Go to the Design tab in your editor. Linkship offers:
- Themes: Pre-built themes ranging from minimal to bold
- Colors: Customize background, text, button, and accent colors
- Fonts: Choose from multiple font families
- Button styles: Rounded, square, outlined, shadow, and more
- Layout: Choose between classic list and hero layout
Design tips:
- Match your link page colors to your Instagram feed aesthetic
- Use a dark theme if your brand is dark/moody (great for musicians and photographers)
- Keep button styles consistent — mixing too many styles looks unprofessional
- Preview on mobile — 92% of your traffic will come from phones
Step 5: Share your page
Your page is live at linkship.cc/yourname. Here's how to share it:
Go to your Instagram profile > Edit profile > Website. Paste your Linkship URL. Add a call-to-action in your bio like "Everything you need" with a pointing finger emoji.
TikTok
Go to your TikTok profile > Edit profile > Website. Paste your URL. Note: TikTok requires 1,000 followers for a clickable link. Below that, put the URL as text.
YouTube
Go to your YouTube channel > Customize channel > Basic info > Links. Add your Linkship URL as the primary link.
Twitter/X
Go to your profile > Edit profile. Paste your Linkship URL in the Website field.
Go to your profile > Contact info > Website. Add your Linkship URL with a custom label.
Everywhere else
Linkship URLs work everywhere — email signatures, business cards, event flyers, packaging. Generate a QR code from your dashboard to print on physical materials.
Advanced tips for maximizing clicks
Put your most important link first
The first link on your page gets 2-3x more clicks than others. If you're promoting something specific — a new product, latest video, an event — put it at the top. Use drag & drop to reorder anytime.
Update regularly
Don't set it and forget it. Update your page weekly with new content, seasonal promotions, or trending links. A stale page with outdated links loses credibility fast.
Use thumbnails
Links with images get significantly more clicks than text-only links. Add product photos, video thumbnails, or branded graphics to make your page visually engaging.
Track what works
Check your analytics weekly. See which links get the most clicks, where your visitors come from, and what devices they use. Move high-performing links to the top and remove links that nobody clicks.
Add a clear CTA in your bio
Your social media bio text matters. Don't just put the link — tell people what they'll find. Examples:
- "Shop my favorites + free resources"
- "Book a session | New music out now"
- "Menu, hours & reservations"
