5 Best Link Sharing Tools for Instagram and TikTok

Instagram and TikTok are two of the most popular visual platforms for brands and influencers to grow their online presence. Building an audience on these platforms is a lucrative endeavor for those who know how to monetize their content.

The biggest challenge, however, is getting users to move from your content directly to the link that allows you to earn an income. Instagram and TikTok only offer their users a single link in their bio’s.

Managing that link is incredibly important if you wish to direct users to all of your monetized websites (product pages, YouTube, course, etc.). Enter the link-sharing services from the likes of Hypage, Linktree, Tap Bio, and more.

These link-sharing services allow you to use that single link in your bio to redirect traffic to multiple links. After a quick and easy setup, you can start moving Instagram users to your websites, social media pages, podcast networks, and many more.

So, where to start when choosing a link-sharing tool that best suits your needs? We reviewed 5 excellent offerings in this guide to help make your decision easier.

But first, Let’s find out more about link-sharing tools.

What Are Link-Sharing Tools?

Link sharing tools allow you to build a webpage that neatly arranges all of your crucial links in one place. There are design elements that allow you to customize your link page to suit your brand requirements.

Once your link page is designed and ready, you can then insert the link for that page into your Instagram “link-in-bio.” You can follow the step-by-step guide shared by Hyax. Your followers can now click on that link in bio to open your link page and access all of your crucial links.

Such a strategy is ideal for:

• Podcasters – Link out to podcast networks and sponsor links
• YouTubers – Link out to specific videos and sponsor links
• Influencers – Link out to sponsors, other social networks, websites, etc.
• Brands – Link out to current and special offers, landing pages, product pages, reviews, etc.

The 5 Best Link-Sharing Tools for Instagram and TikTok

Not all link services are created equal. While the concept of building a link page might sound simple, link-sharing services have created innovative features to take their offerings to the next level.

For instance, you can embed YouTube videos in some link pages so people can instantly watch the video without leaving the site. Other services offer built-in monetization options that allow you to sell products and courses within the link page.
