A link-in-bio page is one web page that holds all your important links. You put its address in your profile, and visitors choose what they need: your shop, your latest video, your contact number or your booking page. You can make one without signing up for a service, as long as you plan for how long the link needs to live.
Here is how to build it, what to put on it, and the one catch that most guides skip.
What a link-in-bio page is for
Many social profiles show only one clickable link, or only a few. If you have a shop, a portfolio, a menu and a WhatsApp number, you cannot fit them all in. A link-in-bio page solves that by sending everyone to a single page that lists everything.
It works for creators, small shops, freelancers, teachers, event organisers and anyone with more than one link.
Make one in 5 minutes
- Open the templates and choose the link in bio template.
- Add your name, a short line about you, and your buttons: each button has a label and a link.
- Create the page. You get a short link and a QR code.
- Put the link in your social profile bio.
Prefer to design your own? You can write a simple HTML page, or ask an AI assistant to make one, and upload it on DropMyPage. Our guide on turning HTML into a link shows how.
What to put on the page
Keep it short and focused. Visitors decide in a few seconds.
- Your name and one line saying what you do.
- 3 to 6 buttons. More than that and people freeze. Put the most important one first.
- Clear button labels, such as "Order on WhatsApp", "Book a session" or "Watch my latest video".
- A way to contact you, such as a WhatsApp link. The WhatsApp link generator makes one.
- No clutter. Remove links you do not really want people to click.
Check it on your phone. Most profile visitors use a phone, so it has to be easy to read and tap.
The catch: a free link lasts only 7 days
This is the point most "free link-in-bio" guides skip. Your bio link is not something you share once. It sits there for months. On DropMyPage, free links last 7 days, then the page is deleted and the link stops working. A dead link in your bio is worse than none.
You have three honest options:
- Use a permanent link. This is a Pro feature on DropMyPage (Monthly $9.99, Yearly $47.99, or Lifetime $59). Links never expire, and you can edit the page while keeping the same link. Pro also lets you choose a readable link name. Features and prices can change, so check the pricing section.
- Use a different service for the bio page, one that keeps pages online. Check their own pages for what is free and what is paid, because that changes.
- Put the page on your own website, if you have one.
Whatever you choose, test that the link still works a few weeks later.
Keep the page up to date
A link-in-bio page only helps if it is current. A few habits:
- Review it once a month.
- Remove offers that have ended.
- Update the top button when you launch something new.
- Check that every link still opens.
With a permanent Pro link you can replace the page and keep the same address, so your bio never needs changing.
Make the QR code work for you
Your page also comes with a QR code. Use it on:
- Business cards and flyers.
- Packaging and receipts.
- Posters in your shop or at events.
This lets people who meet you offline reach your page as well. For printing tips, see QR code not scanning? 9 fixes that actually work.
Do you need an account?
For a free link on DropMyPage, no. You do not need to sign up. If you want a permanent link, you sign in and choose a paid plan. Other services may ask you to sign up even for a free page.
Common mistakes
- Using a free 7-day link in a bio that should stay up for months.
- Putting twenty buttons on the page.
- Vague labels such as "Click here".
- Forgetting to test it on a phone.
- Not updating it after a launch or a price change.
FAQ
Can I make a link-in-bio page for free?
Yes, for a link that lasts 7 days. For a bio that stays up, you need a permanent link, which is a paid feature on DropMyPage.
Can I change the page later?
On the free plan you upload a new version and get a new link. With Pro you can replace the page and keep the same link.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The template is a form: fill it in and the page is made.
Can I see how many people click?
A basic page does not show click counts. If you need that, use separate links for different places and compare the results.
