We've all seen it. "Link in bio."
It started as a hack to get around Instagram's refusal to let us post links. Then it became a business model (Linktree, Carrd, etc.). Now, it's just a bad habit.
The Problem with Link-in-Bio
When you use a "Link in Bio" tool, you are sending your traffic to a middleman.
- You don't own the data: You don't know who clicked what.
- You don't own the brand: You are just another generic list of buttons.
- You are renting: If they decide to start charging $10/month, you pay or you leave.
The Microblog Alternative
Your Jottings site is the ultimate "Link in Bio." But it's so much more.
Instead of a static list of links, it's a living feed of what you are doing right now.
- Latest Post: "Just published a new video..."
- Current Project: "Working on the new design..."
- Recommendation: "Read this great article..."
Why It Works Better
- Context: A button that says "My YouTube" is boring. A post that says "I just uploaded a video about X, check it out" is compelling.
- SEO: Google indexes your Jottings site. It doesn't really care about your Linktree.
- Personality: Your site has your colors, your font, your voice.
Stop Renting. Start Owning.
It takes 5 minutes to set up a Jottings site. Put that link in your bio.
When someone clicks it, they aren't just seeing a menu. They are meeting you.
