Signing up for your own Linktree page is easy and only takes a few minutes. All you need to do is follow these simple steps:

1. Go to the Linktree Website and Claim Your Name

To do this, you'll need to go to the Linktree site then find the field where you can input the name you want to use for your Linktree. Input this then click the Claim your Linktree button.

Setting Up Your Linktree Page

Once you've chosen your plan and clicked Continue, you'll be taken to the main dashboard. This is where you can start customizing your Linktree page and adding links that direct to whatever content you'd like.

1. Configure the Appearance of Your Page

The first step is to upload a profile picture and header image. These will appear at the top of your Linktree page and will help you stand out amongst other Linktree pages. To do this, click Appearance then Pick an Image.

Next, input your Profile Title and a Bio for yourself.

Then scroll down the page and select a Theme for your page. Linktree offers several themes to choose from, often with basic designs, to give your page a bit of personality.

2. Add Links

Next, click on the Links tab at the top of the admin screen and start adding the content you'd like to share. This can be anything from external sites, your own website, a donation page and more.

Linktree also offers several apps that you can add to your page. These apps include a blog, contact forms, video links, and more.

3. Preview Your Page

At any time, you can get a quick glimpse at how your page will look by clicking the Share button located in the top right corner of the admin screen. Click the link at the bottom here that says Open my Linktree to take a look.

After taking a glance, you can go back and make any changes or add more content if necessary.

4. Share Your Linktree

When your Linktree page is ready to go, click the Share button and select Add to your socials. From here, you can select the social media site you'd like to connect your Linktree to, including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and TikTok, to name a few.

You can also select the Copy Link option which allows you to copy the URL of your page and share it anywhere you'd like.

Or, you can opt to view your Linktree's QR code, which you can add to any of your social platforms as you see fit as well.

Lastly, if you want to share a link to your Linktree on other sites or social platforms -- but not insert it into the bio -- you can do so by clicking the Share to... option, which allows you to share your Linktree to Facebook Messenger, in any email, and many other places as well.
