Linktree - The simple and powerful tool all creators need




The Creator economy is booming! They are about 50 million creators that exist and the number is going up. The size of the creator economy is estimated to be more than $104 billion. It is amazing to see Entrepreneurs from all over the world, of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds create entire businesses with content as the front end. The general business model is to create engaging content that add values to consumers and then monetize it through various means including the platform where the content is hosted (e.g. Youtube), affiliate marketing (promoting products from Amazon etc.) and direct advertisement partnerships with other businesses.

The created content is front and center of this business model and is either hosted or promoted throug different social media channels. If one is to get started - they would want to create visual (images/infographics), written (blogs, articles, ebooks), audio (podcasts) or video (Youtube videos/ Online courses) content and then promote it though various social media profiles on Tiktok, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube.

But how do you bring audiences and consumers from your social media profiles to your products and affiliated marketing links? Most social media profiles allow you to mention a link to your website. You can put a collection of products you want to market like BySophielee and making a website is pretty easy to do these days using excellent tools like Squarespace.

But what if you don't have a website and you instantly want to link to multiple social profiles, your blog and your youtube channel through your instagram page. The tool you need is Linktree - which is an amazing, free to sign up - "Link in Bio" tool. Not only that you can even get your followers to subscribe and ask you questions. This is also a great way to get started on building a mailing list.

You can easily create a customized profile choosing how you want to display your links, the colors on your profile, the icons for each link and much more. It even gives you information and analytics on how your links are performing. 




Here's what my Linktree looks like and this is all done using the free version!


You can go to your profile and add all your social media profiles and they appear as nice little icons just above your links.

Getting started is simply two steps:

  • You sign up
  • After then you just need to copy your URLs and add them


You can also add a custom thumbnail if you like for the link.

I was even able to embed a Youtube video directly on my Linktree - it plays without opening the browser.


So what are you waiting for? Get your "Link in bio" now and market your website, blog, youtube channel and affiliate links!

P.S. This is not a sponsored post, I just love Linktree this much.

Dreamlining - How to start living your dreams

Image
Daniel Day Lewis is one of my favorite movie stars. The authenticity he brings to the characters he plays makes it hard for me to fathom that he is “creating” - it feels more as if he is channeling someone. His acting skills are not the only reason I find him inspiring. He has finally retired now but during his acting years, he was on and off making movies taking long breaks of retirement. It is rumored that the actor interned with a Florentine master craftsman and learnt how to make bespoke shoes during one of his retirements. For his last movie, The Phantom Thread, he played a designer and learnt how to cut, drape, and sew - and even recreated a Belanciaga dress on his own.  Daniel is an exceptional mind and a curious soul, but being able to delve into your curiosities like he is able to is a privilege. For most of us mortals, life seems to get in the way. Perhaps your version of living your best life fulfilling your desires and following your passions does not involve shoemakin...

Setting New Year Resolutions

I was thinking about making a video to mark the end of the year. It seemed apt to talk about goal setting since this is what I (and I am sure many others) are thinking about this time of the year. However, instead of talking about what goals to set in 2023, I want to talk about what 2022 has taught me. Here are the lessons. 1. The magic of thinking small Over the years, I used to set extraordinarily difficult goals with the mindset that even if I don't reach the goals, I would have made significant progress. Unfortunately for me, that would usually turn into an intimidating goal. I would procrastinate and the more I ran away from it, the scarier the goal became. Long story short, I would feel bad at the end of the year and set even more audacious goals - hence repeating the cycle. 2. Doing less, not more I, like many others, have a lot of interests. There are many things that I think are cool - so many books to read, courses to attend, Youtube, Podcasts, Blogging. In a burst of...

Deep Work by Cal Newport — Required reading for all knowledge workers

Image
Deepwork  a term coined by Cal Newport is referenced multiple times by Lex Fridman in his podcast. In fact, one of the youtube videos where Lex Fridman is explaining his daily routine, it is clear that Deepwork is central to his day. I admire Lex Fridman for his philosophical outlook on life, the knowledge that he conveys to the world through his podcast and his love centered worldview. So I picked up Cal Newport’s Deepwork and took some notes to share with friends and family. Cal Newport is a seminal and authentic thinker — his philosophy towards work and learning is laid out in the series of books he has produced. TL;DR The idea: Deepwork is valuable Deepwork is rare Deepwork is meaningful The rules Work Deeply Embrace Boredom Quit Social Media Drain the shallows In the first part of the book Cal lays out the foundations of why working deeply is becoming more and more important in today’s world. Most people today are bombarded by information and distractions making the abil...
