## What solo networkers and freelancers need from link in bio pages

Solo networkers and freelancers run their own contact life. They meet people at events, on calls and in person, and they want the next person to reach them without waiting for a reply. A link in bio page gathers your links, contact details and sometimes a way to take payments into one address. These needs come up most often: a stranger can save your details without typing, a link can be shown only for a set period such as a conference week, sales can be taken without losing a large share to fees, and the monthly cost stays predictable once a free trial or free plan ends. Many people also put the address on printed cards and in email, so the page should open in a plain browser without a download. Solo operators have little time to set up, so an easy import from an existing page can matter as much as the feature list. Read each option below against those needs.

## Linktree for solo networkers and freelancers

Linktree was created in 2016 and pioneered the link-in-bio category [^2]. Its page says a Linktree URL or QR code can go on business cards, email signatures, posters, brochures and resumes [^2]. Linktree can act as a mini-website, so you do not need a regular website to share and sell [^2]. The Linktree app is available in the App Store and Google Play store [^2]. For click-throughs and conversion, Linktree recommends having three to seven links on a page at once [^2]. Linktree allows selling products and collecting revenue from affiliate links [^2]. Pro lets you remove Linktree branding and sell with 0% fees [^1], and Pro has a 7-day free trial [^1]. Check the country availability shown on Linktree's own page before you plan sales around it.

## Beacons for solo networkers and freelancers

Which plan price will you actually pay after any trial or free plan ends? Do you need to export your contacts to a spreadsheet, and who else needs access to them?
