How to build a link in bio that looks good, works hard, and pays off

🐦 The Chirp Team |

Your bio link is more than a link.

It’s your front door, your portfolio, your highlight reel. It should look good, work hard, and, ideally, make you money.

Chirp makes it insanely easy to build, customize, and publish a page that feels like you and performs like a pro.

You’re not alone: 31 million Instagram users already use a link-in-bio tool to show who they are, what they do, and how to connect (Influencers Club Market Report 2025).

So let’s build yours. It’s faster than you think and more productive than doomscrolling.

Start with a blank canvas or a template

Whether you’re already signed up with Chirp or just discovering us, you’re in the right place.

You’ll have the option to pick from a couple of layout templates, but don’t worry, you can change the look later whenever you feel like a rebrand.

Make it yours

  • Start with you. What matters most? You. Your profile photo, custom URL, and short bio are the anchor of your entire link. They're what people notice first and remember. You can change your custom URL in seconds at any time from the Pages section (click the three dots next to your URL and click Edit Page URL.)
  • Choose your look. Click the paintbrush icon and play with color themes or upload a background image that fits your aesthetic. Glossy, grungy, clean, chaotic. This is where your brand shows up first.

Add sections that show off

Your link in bio should work the way you do. Flexible, expressive, and built around what matters most to you.

You can add, remove, or rearrange every section (except your Profile, that one stays).

Tap the Add (+) button on mobile or Add to your page on desktop to open the full menu.

Here are just a few of the sections you can plug in to make your link standout:

Spotlight Video

Your link, in motion. Upload a vertical clip to share your story, promote your brand, or spotlight something unique.

A “hey, welcome” intro, a highlight reel, a personal pitch, whatever fits your aesthetic.

Hero Banners

Go big. Add up to 10 rotating slides to promote launches, events, or bold announcements.

Fully optimized for desktop and mobile.

Product Placements

Over 55% of creators with 50K+ followers and a link in bio have done brand deals, according to The State of the Link-In-Bio Market 2025.

At that level, partnerships aren’t a bonus, they’re expected. And brands expect a professional, shoppable setup.

With Chirp, it’s easy to drop in your own merch or affiliate picks—think Amazon faves, custom tees, skincare recs, or curated bundles—using clickable product cards with prices, ratings, and more.

Showcase Featured Links

Feature your latest drops, blog posts, press features, brand deals, or whatever else you want eyes on. 

Short Stack + Featured Tile Cards

Need quick-hit visuals or promo spots? Stack affiliate links, sale banners, or custom cards your way.

Social Integrations

Bring your content to life and keep your link-in-bio fresh—automatically.

Chirp connects directly to your Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms to showcase your latest posts in beautiful, tappable formats like Grid, Mosaic, and more.

Every layout is designed to look great and earn, with monetization built in from day one.

Whether you're showing off your aesthetic, driving followers to your socials, or unlocking extra earnings from your posts—you’re in control.

Pro tip: Carousels and Reels are the top-performing formats on Instagram right now (backed by data from the 2025 Social Insider Report). So if your link-in-bio leads to content, make sure it reflects what actually works in-feed. Give people a reason to click and stick around.

Drag, drop, reorder, repeat

You can drag and drop every section to change the flow of your page. Want your shop first and your video last? Go for it. Chirp previews it live, but doesn’t publish until you say so.

Delete what you don’t need. Add what you do. If you’re building for a holiday drop, a limited launch, or just your weekly vibe? You can always come back and switch things up.

Preview like a pro

Toggle between desktop and mobile views to make sure your page looks good everywhere. When you’re ready, click Publish and you’re live.
