How to add a link to your TikTok bio

Three taps if your account qualifies, one workaround if it doesn't, and one decision that matters more than both: what the link points to. Here's all of it.

The 3 steps

  1. Open TikTok → Profile → Edit profile.
  2. Tap the Website field and paste your link.
  3. Tap Save. Done — it's now tappable on your profile.

If you don't see a Website field, that's not a bug — read on.

No Website field? The requirements

TikTok gates the clickable bio link. Personal accounts generally need 1,000 followers to unlock it. The rules vary a little by region and account type, which is why two friends can see different options on the same day.

Adding a link without 1,000 followers

  1. Switch to a Business account: Settings & privacy → Account → Switch to Business Account. For many accounts this unlocks the Website field at any follower count. The trade: some sounds are unavailable to Business accounts.
  2. The bio-text fallback: until you unlock the field, put a short, typeable URL in your bio text — this is exactly why short handles matter. yo.ink/you survives being typed from memory; a long tracking link doesn't.

Make the link worth tapping

Getting the link up is step one. The mistake most creators make is pointing it at a plain list of links — every tap that leaves TikTok is expensive attention, and a list page spends it without earning. Point your one link at a page that can take money:

  • Your digital products (presets, guides, templates) with prices right there
  • A tip jar for the followers who just want to support you
  • Coaching or 1:1 call bookings if you offer them
  • Your other socials, so the page still works as a link hub

That's the whole idea behind Yoink: one short link, a store behind it, and the checkout tricks big stores use — order bumps, one-click upsells — working for you on a free plan. See 79 free store templates across different niches.

Quick answers

Why can't I put a link in my TikTok bio?

Most often: a personal account under 1,000 followers. Try the Business-account switch above, or use the bio-text fallback until you cross the threshold.

Does the link work on a Business account with 0 followers?

In many regions, yes — the Website field appears as soon as you switch. TikTok adjusts these rules periodically, so if it doesn't appear immediately, check again after updating the app.

Can I put multiple links in my TikTok bio?

No — TikTok gives you one website slot. That's why creators point it at a single page that holds everything: products, tips, socials. One link, every destination.
