Linky

A few years ago, link-in-bio pages were functional at best. You’d tap the link and get hit with a list—your latest video, your merch store, maybe a newsletter or two. Nothing wrong with it, but let’s be honest: it wasn’t exactly memorable.

In 2025, that’s changed completely.

Today’s link-in-bio pages aren’t just lists of links. They’re stylized micro-homes for creators—spaces that reflect their brand, their vibe, and their goals. And at the heart of this shift? The rise of the niche creator.

You don’t need millions of followers to build a meaningful audience anymore. You just need clarity, creativity, and a link that actually works for you.

Let’s talk about how creators are flipping the script—and why niche bio pages are taking center stage.

Wait, What Is a Niche Bio Page?

It’s not about being obscure. It’s about being specific.

A niche bio page is tailored to a particular audience and goal. It’s focused. Personal. Purposeful. Instead of cramming in 20 links and hoping someone clicks one, creators are using their bio pages to tell mini-stories—and guide visitors toward clear, intentional actions.

Here’s what that might look like:

A vegan recipe creator with a link page divided by meal types (Breakfasts / Meal Prep / Desserts), linking to eBooks, reels, and her affiliate air fryer on Amazon.
A photographer showcasing her gallery, offering bookings via Calendly, and selling mobile Lightroom presets—all from one scrollable interface.
A tarot reader who embeds her YouTube videos, syncs her booking calendar, and offers a “Pick-a-Card” audio reading as a paid digital download.

It’s not just about what you’re linking. It’s about creating an experience.

Why Niche Is Working in 2025 (and Why Big Isn’t Always Better)

Here’s the truth: the creator economy doesn’t favor scale anymore—it favors connection.

That shift started years ago with the rise of micro- and nano-influencers. But now we’re seeing something deeper: niche creators outperforming generalist ones in engagement, community loyalty, and even revenue.

A study by ConvertKit showed that creators earning the most per follower were often those with smaller but more focused audiences. And SignalFire’s now-famous creator economy map highlights a growing trend: creators aren’t just entertainers or influencers. They’re educators, coaches, artists, healers, developers, and niche community builders.

In this new reality, your bio page becomes your storefront, newsletter signup, content archive, and personal FAQ—all in one.

From Link List to Creator Command Center

So, what’s actually changing inside these bio pages?

1. Built-In Tools for Real Workflows

It’s not just about redirection—it’s about integration. Creators are embedding:

Calendly for scheduling
Ko-fi or Buy Me a Coffee for tips
Gumroad or Lemon Squeezy for digital products
YouTube and TikTok embeds
Notion pages for resumes, course outlines, or reading lists

Tools like Linky make all of this feel seamless. No coding. No clunky plugins. No jumping between tabs.

🧩 Example: @radishresearch uses Linky to show their latest photos, collect customer satisfaction responses, and provide updates — without needing a full site refresh every week.

2. Monetization That Feels Native

Creators are leaning into income streams that live inside the link page itself. That includes:

Pay-to-unlock downloads (like guidebooks or Lightroom presets)
Affiliate links with previews and styled product cards
Patreon-style memberships with a sneak peek of what’s inside
Tip jars that don’t feel like awkward asks

The point is to reduce friction. When a fan lands on your page, they shouldn’t have to hunt for how to support you—it should feel natural. Even delightful.

And with platforms like Lemon8 and Stan Store emphasizing curated commerce, creators are realizing: your link page is your store window.

The Vibe Shift: Aesthetics, Identity, and Micro-Branding

We’d be lying if we said looks didn’t matter.

Creators are treating their bio pages like visual portfolios. Fonts, color palettes, icons, spacing—it all plays into brand perception. The rise of hyper-specific internet aesthetics (clean girl, glitchcore, corporate bimbo, tradwife, minimal dad—you name it) has trickled into link pages too.

With Linky, you can tweak the page to your liking, either by using one of the pre-made themes, or by creating your own, all without touching a line of code.

But here’s the twist: the best pages aren’t necessarily the prettiest. They’re the ones that feel like the person behind them. Maybe it’s a little messy. Maybe it breaks the grid. That’s okay. People don’t want perfect. They want real.

Bio Pages as Boundaries (and Sanity-Savers)

You know those DMs that start with, “Hey, quick question!” and end up being… not quick at all?

Bio pages are becoming boundary tools, especially for creators juggling multiple roles. By clearly stating services, availability, rates—or even linking to a "Read This First" FAQ—creators are setting expectations without the awkwardness.

Some creators even use their link page to say what they don’t do:

“I don’t offer free edits.”
“I no longer accept custom work.”
“My books are closed until June 2025.”

It’s soft. It’s kind. It’s clear. And it saves everyone time.

Adapting to the Feed: Why Platform Context Matters

Let’s say you post a video on TikTok about your book recommendations. Someone clicks your bio link—they should land on a page where the top item is, well, your book list.

Creators are tailoring their bio pages depending on the platform:

TikTok traffic? Prioritize short-form content or impulse-buy links.
Instagram audience? Focus on curated visuals, carousels, and affiliate recs.
Twitter/X fans? They want long-form essays, podcasts, and spicy takes.

Smart tools like Linky let you create conditional displays or even platform-aware previews, so the experience feels contextual—not generic.

🎥 Tip: Embed a short Loom or TikTok at the top of your page to guide new visitors. It boosts engagement by over 2x.

Quirk Is the New Currency

Here’s something we’ve noticed internally at Linky: some of the most successful pages (in terms of time on page, click-through, and fan conversion) are a little… weird.

Like:

A poet who lets you choose your “emotional theme of the day” and get a random poem
A language coach who offers free downloadable flashcards if you can solve a riddle
A ceramicist who embeds a live stream of their studio cat while you browse

In 2025, personality isn’t optional—it’s the product.

The Future of Link-in-Bio? It’s Already Here

What we’re seeing isn’t just a design trend. It’s a mindset shift.

Creators are saying: I don’t need a huge site.
I don’t need to build a full e-commerce flow.
I just need a space that feels like mine.

And the tech is finally catching up to support that.

Whether you’re managing a creative career, a side hustle, or a full-blown indie brand, your link page can do more than point people away—it can pull people in.

Final Thought: Small Can Be Mighty

You don’t need a big team. You don’t need a huge audience. You don’t even need a website. You just need a niche, a voice, and a page that lets you be you—while making it easy for your people to find you, support you, and stick around.
