2. Open a waitlist
Maximize the impact of your launches by using a Link in bio to tease your upcoming offers and segment subscribers instantly. Build anticipation with a product, service, or event waitlist your followers will scramble to join.
Email waitlists help generate buzz and excitement while collecting valuable contact information from potential customers who want to be first in line to access your offering. And because they indicate purchase intent for specific offers, you can easily use them to send relevant, hyper-personalized emails that warm your waitlist subscribers for sales.
Many Flodesk members customize their Link in bio opt-in block to grow their waitlists for upcoming offers, like this example from Brooke Bakken & Co. Brooke says,”I wanted a page where I could easily capture email addresses for a waitlist while giving people the opportunity to get to know a little bit about me and the other products or services I offer.”
Pro tip: Turn your Link in bio into a demand-generating tool for your big ideas. Open a waitlist to gauge audience demand for an offer before you spend time, energy, and resources creating it.
3. Offer a freebie
Create a free resource—like a guide, checklist, or one of our top freebie ideas—that entices your audience to “join now” for instant access. By offering something valuable for free, you can boost your Link in bio opt-in conversions and demonstrate your expertise (making new subscribers more likely to become paying customers).
Here’s how to grow your list (and your bottom line) with an irresistible freebie offer:
- Create a high-quality freebie that provides your audience value while positioning your brand as an expert. There’s no stopping what you can create—but be sure to include four essential factors

4. Sell your product
Rather than driving your audience to a website homepage or contact form, consider using your Link in bio to get more eyeballs on your top offers. Leverage your link list to streamline your sales flow and connect potential customers directly to your highest-converting sales pages—increasing your selling potential.
Flodesk member and founder of Ardent Market, Emily Marks, uses her Link in bio to drive followers to her seasonal offerings, new arrivals, and best sellers, where she can lead them through a brand experience and quickly convert them into customers. She says, “It’s a seamless extension of my brand, providing a user-friendly experience that often serves as a powerful first introduction to Ardent Market.”
5. Refer and earn with affiliate links
Supplement your primary revenue and diversify your income streams with a steady flow of passive earnings. Affiliate links are a simple yet powerful way to increase your revenue while providing your audience with valuable products or services that align with your brand.
You don’t need thousands of followers to make money on social media. A Link in bio makes it easier than ever before to incorporate affiliate links into your social media strategy and generate passive income. Here’s how.
- Become an affiliate of your favorite products and services. Usually, affiliates get exclusive deals to share with their audience and make money every time someone signs up through their unique link or code. For example, as a Flodesk affiliate, you can gift your audience 50% off their first year of Flodesk and earn $19 for every new member that joins through your link
- Create a Fldoesk Link in bio and add your top affiliate links to your link list. Make money while you sleep by consistently including them in your favorite links and driving traffic there
- Promote your affiliate offers across social media, boost clicks to your link in bio, and grow your passive income. See how graphic designer, Jenny Cole, uses her Link in bio’s link list to earn more effortlessly
