Steps to add a link to your TikTok bio
TikTok shows this option once you have at least 1,000 followers, or if you have a Verified Business Account, per TikTok Support. TikTok no longer accepts links that open or log people into other social apps. Link to those platforms' websites instead.
Under 1,000 followers, a Verified Business Account is one route. A Business Account cannot join the Creator Rewards Program, as lesson 2 explains, so weigh both before you switch.

One link or a link in bio page
Put the same page in your TikTok bio and first in your Instagram list, so one address carries everything. On More.You, Import copies the links from an old link in bio page, and nothing is saved until you confirm each item.
One store link
- Opens one place only
- You edit your profile each time you launch
- Old posts point to an offer that ended
- No count of what people tap
A link in bio page
- One address in every profile
- A block for each offer, in the order you choose
- You change the page, not the profile
- Clicks counted for each block
Button names and lines that get taps
People tap a button when its name matches the post they saw. A button called Link tells them nothing.
Instagram Stories have a link sticker, per Instagram's announcement. Point it at your page, and change the sticker text to the result, such as Get the recipe.
Button names and post lines
- Button for a guide
Get the 7-day meal plan (PDF)
- Button for a call
Book a 15-minute skin check
- Button for affiliate picks

Clicks once a week
Your page reports views, clicks and click rate for each block, by source, device and country. The Free plan keeps 30 days of history, so pick one day a week and read them.
When you post, pin the block for that post by hand and unpin last week's. Auto-Pin, on Pro, pins the link of a scheduled post when it goes live, for 24 hours, 3 days or 7 days, then your page returns to its usual order.
