    5The only link in bio with a creator network

    Grow with Bio Collabs

    Partner with other creators and small businesses to cross-promote on each other's pages, message in real time, and grow your audience together.

    • Find collab partners in Discover
    • Real-time messaging built in
    • Featured on each other's bios
Bio Collabs — only on TinyBio

The only link in bio with a built-in creator network.

Every other bio tool is a dead end. TinyBio turns yours into a doorway. Find partners, cross-promote on each other's pages, message in real time, and grow audiences together — all from inside your bio.

Cross-promote

Get featured on partner pages and feature them on yours — instant reach.

Real-time chat

Plan campaigns, swap assets, and message partners without leaving the app.

Grow together

Two audiences are bigger than one. Collab loops compound your growth.

Curated discovery

Surface in Discover so the right partners and fans actually find you.

Before you start

What you'll need (it's almost nothing).

No design files, no copy doc, no domain — just these four things and you're ready to follow the steps above.

An email address

Used only for login and account recovery — never sold, never spammed.

A profile photo (optional)

Square JPG/PNG works best. No photo? AI can generate an avatar in step 3.

Your top 3–7 links

Most-clicked first. Don't try to add everything — focus beats clutter.

60 seconds

That's it. Coffee optional but recommended.

Realistic timing

How long each step actually takes.

These are real averages from new TinyBio accounts last week — not marketing math.

Step 1 — Claim username15s
Step 2 — Add starter blocks1–2 min
Step 3 — AI design pass30s
Step 4 — Share your link10s
Step 5 — First Bio Collab~24h to accept

Total active time to a publishable page: ~3 minutes. Polish and first collab response take longer but happen in the background.

Avoid these

4 mistakes that hurt new TinyBio pages.

Specific to first-time setup — fix these before publishing and you'll outperform 90% of new pages.

Don't dump every link you own

Pages with 4–7 focused blocks outperform 15+ link pages by ~3×. Use Featured for the headline action.

Don't skip the AI bio in step 3

AI-written bios convert better than blank pages because visitors instantly understand who you are.

Don't forget the QR code on step 4

Print it on packaging, business cards or event posters — IRL traffic is the cheapest growth channel you'll find.

Don't ignore Discover after publishing

Bio Collabs are TinyBio's secret weapon. Skipping step 5 leaves your biggest growth lever unused.

Tutorial FAQ

Questions people ask while setting up.

How long does it really take to set up TinyBio?

Most first-time users finish step 1 (username) in about 15 seconds, step 2 (adding 3–5 starter blocks) in 1–2 minutes, and have a publishable page in under 5 minutes. The full polish — AI design, custom background, social icons, analytics setup — usually takes a coffee-length 10 minutes.

Do I need a credit card or paid plan to follow these steps?

No. Every step on this page works on the free plan, including AI design, all 20+ blocks, custom QR codes, real-time analytics and Bio Collabs. There is no trial, no card on file, no upsell wall mid-setup.

What if my username is taken?

Usernames are first-come, first-served. If yours is taken, the signup form suggests close variants (e.g. add a dot, dash or your craft) and shows live availability as you type. You can change your username later — your old links won't break for 30 days.

Can I switch from Linktree, Beacons or Stan Store mid-setup?

Yes. Paste your old bio URL into the AI importer on step 2 and TinyBio will pre-fill your blocks. You finish in minutes, not hours, and keep editing from there.

Do I need to redesign every time I add a new link?

No. Once you've picked a theme in step 3, every block you add inherits the design. Add a new product, episode or campaign and it appears styled to match — no fiddling.

How does step 5 (Bio Collabs) actually work?

After publishing, open the Discover tab to find creators in your niche, send a collab request, and once they accept you each get a featured spot on the other's page plus a private real-time chat thread. Most collabs are accepted within 24 hours.

What's a common mistake to avoid on the first setup?

Adding too many links. Pages with 4–7 strong blocks convert ~3× better than pages with 15+ generic links. Use the Featured Block for your top action, then group everything else.

Will my page work on Instagram, TikTok and SafeBrowsing?

Yes. TinyBio pages are reviewed for safety, ship a valid Open Graph preview, and never trigger TikTok or Instagram link warnings under normal use.

Now you know the steps. Time to start step 1.
