Link in the TikTok bio
How to add a link to TikTok? This link is a huge opportunity to drive traffic from your account.
It allows you to attract your community to your online store, website, and even to other social profiles of your brand.
In short, if you have a marketing strategy on TikTok and a large community, you have to take advantage of the link on TikTok.
BIO LINK
The TikTok Link in bio feature is limited: only a professional account with more than 1,000 followers will be able to access it.
How to put the link on TikTok
You first need a business account to add the link to your TikTok bio; otherwise, you can’t do it.
So, let’s start from the beginning, turn your personal account into a business. If you already have it, you can skip this step.
1 Turn your personal account into business
Enter the account you want to change and tap on Profile. Among the options, click Manage account.
Finally, tap on ‘Switch to company account’ and follow the steps to configure it.
2 Edit your Profile
Once you have your business account set up, go to your profile and tap on Edit. You have this option just below the followers and the profile photo.
Among the editing possibilities, you will find the option to add ‘Website’ to put the link you want.
3 Ready
After putting the link on the bio, when users visit your profile, they will see the link below the bio and before the content.
The link is clickable both on PC and app to drive users to any page, social media platform, or online store.
However, you can only have one clickable link on TikTok: that is, you will have to choose a specific destination.
And what about all the other links you want to show off on TikTok? I have the answer for you.
