In this guide, we will cover the steps to setting up and managing a Linktree.
Linktree is a free tool that you can use to keep all of your important links - such as website, mobile app store links and social media pages all in one place, which is helpful in situations where only one link can be posted on a social media page, for example!
To begin setting up your Linktree, visit https://linktr.ee/ and select either the Sign Up Free or Get Started For Free buttons to create your account.
Once selected, the Create an Account screen will open, allowing you to enter your Email Address, Username and Password. The Username will form the URL for your Linktree and this cannot be changed after signing up, so be sure you are happy with your chosen Username before proceeding.
After entering your Email, Username and Password (and marking the checkbox confirming you agree to the Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy), click the Sign up with email button to proceed to the next page.
Once you have created your Linktree Account, the next page will allow you to enter your Business Name and specify up to three Categories that best describe your business.
Once the categories have been selected, click the I’m not a robot checkbox and then Continue to proceed to the page where you can choose between the Free and Pro options. Make your preferred choice (this guide covers the Free option) and click the Sign Up For Free/Pro button to proceed.
After completing your Signup, the next page will confirm you have been sent an email from Linktree - click the Verify Email button within the email to log in using the details you entered during Signup. You will receive a confirmation to let you know that your account has been verified, and then continue to the Homepage.
The Linktree homepage allows you to Add/Edit/Remove Links, change the Appearance of your Linktree and adjust any required Settings.
Click the purple Get set up button on the bottom-right corner of the homepage to begin building your Linktree. Select the relevant option to proceed.
To Create a Link, select the Add New Link button to open the Title and URL text fields. The Title entered will be what is displayed on your Linktree, and the URL entered is the link that this will direct to.
The Add Your Linktree Everywhere option will highlight your Linktree URL, which is located on the top-right corner of the screen.
To update the Appearance of your Linktree, select the Update your profile image & theme option to take you to the Appearance section.
To begin updating your Appearance, select a Profile Picture, then enter your Profile Title and an optional Bio (with an 80-character limit) that will appear under the Profile Title. If no Profile Title is entered, the Username will appear instead.
Next, you can select your preferred Theme to match your business’ colour scheme - some of these themes may be available to Pro accounts only.
While updating your Appearance, the live preview on the right-hand side of the screen will update with any changes, with an example below:
To add more Links to your Linktree, select the Links tab at the top of the page, then click the Add New Link button to open the textbox. Enter the text and click away from the box to update the live preview, and click the Pencil icons to edit the Title/URL.
To move the Placement of your Links, use the three vertical dots on the left-hand side of the box to adjust the relevant link with the live preview on the right of the screen displaying the placement in real time.
If you need to Delete a Link, click the Trash icon on the bottom-right corner of the link to remove it from your Linktree.
Using Headers, you can clearly separate your Links so customers can view them clearly grouped together.
To add a Header, click the Links tab on the top-left corner of the page, then click the lightning bolt icon next to the Add New Link button.
The Header textbox will appear - click the Headline Title section to add your header and once added, use the three vertical dots on the left-hand side of the box to adjust the placement of the header accordingly, with the live preview on the right of the screen displaying the placement in real time, as per the below screenshot:
To add your Social Media Page Links as icons at the bottom of your Linktree, click Settings at the top of the page, then scroll down to the Social Links section. Enter the username/link for your chosen platform to add the relevant icon at the bottom of your Linktree - see Facebook, Twitter and Instagram examples below.
