How to make money from your bio link: discount codes, affiliate, bookings and pixels
Author: marko · · 6 min read
Most people treat the link in their bio as a signpost: here is my YouTube, here is my Instagram. But everyone who taps that link has already shown interest — and that is exactly the moment you can earn. Here is how to turn your Linkee page into a link that earns.
Why the bio link is the most valuable spot on your profile
Instagram and TikTok do not let you put a link under every post. The link in your bio is the only way a fan leaves the network and comes to you — to your store, your booking page, your subscription. Whoever taps it wants more. If all they find is a list of networks, they leave. If they find a discount code, a free slot or a new video, you have a sale.
1. Discount codes for affiliate and brand deals
In brand deals, the code is what carries the value. Visitors have to remember it, retype it and not forget it at checkout — and every one of those steps costs sales. The discount code block in Linkee shows the code in large type, copies it in one tap and offers a button straight to the store. You style the block in its own editor so it matches your partner’s brand.
- Put the code at the top of your page, where fans see it first.
- For affiliate links to gambling or alcohol, turn on the 18+ confirmation to keep the deal within the rules.
- Analytics shows how many people tapped the code — the number you bring to the brand at the next negotiation.
2. Bookings straight from your bio
Hairdressers, barbers, trainers, tattoo artists and photographers earn from free slots. The Linkee booking calendar has its own subpage: the client taps Book in your bio, picks a day and time, and that is it — no back-and-forth in DMs. A smart button next to it offers to call on mobile and to email on desktop.
3. Countdowns and scheduled links for launches
A new drop, merch or tickets sell most in the first hour. A countdown on your page builds anticipation and unlocks the buy button by itself at zero. A scheduled link appears exactly when you choose, so you do not have to sit in the editor at midnight. And the “latest video” block pulls your newest YouTube video by itself — your page stays fresh even when you forget about it.
4. The link has to open where people pay
Instagram and Facebook open links in their own built-in browser. There, visitors are not signed in and have no saved cards or passwords — and often give up on buying or subscribing. A Linkee page opened from Instagram switches to Safari or Chrome by itself, where all of that is saved. For creators who live on subscriptions, this is one of the biggest conversion differences there is.
5. Ad pixels and analytics: measure what earns
When you send paid ads to your page, you need to know what they brought. Add a Meta, TikTok or Google Analytics pixel to Linkee and the ad platforms see who from the campaign actually reached your links. Built-in cookieless analytics shows views, clicks per link, countries, devices and traffic sources. Your most-clicked link gets a 🔥 label and pulls in even more attention.
One link with a code, a slot or something new behind it — not just a list of networks. That is a link that earns.
Where to start
- Check analytics to see which links people tap most.
- Put the one that earns most at the top — a discount code, bookings or your subscription.
- Add a countdown or a latest-video block so the page updates itself.
- If you pay for ads, add a pixel and measure what they bring.
Frequently asked questions
What do discount codes and bookings cost in Linkee?
Nothing. The discount code block, bookings, countdowns, pixels and analytics are all free. The Pro plan adds things like scheduled links, a custom domain and email capture.
Does Linkee take a cut of what I earn?
No. Links, codes and bookings go straight to you or your partner, and Linkee takes nothing from them.
Does it work for creators on OnlyFans or Fanvue?
Yes. OnlyFans and Fanvue links automatically get an 18+ age check, and a page opened from Instagram switches to the main browser where fans are signed in.
