The Link-in-Bio Hierarchy
Your bio link is your storefront door
Where it points matters more than most creators realize.
Level 1 — Simple aggregator
Beacons, Linktree, Stan.
Best when you have multiple things to point to and no single primary offer. Good starting point. Gets people somewhere without friction. The limitation: every additional option reduces conversion.
Level 2 — Dedicated product landing page
A single page for a single offer. Higher conversion than aggregators because there's no decision fatigue. One page, one CTA, one outcome. Use this when you're launching or pushing a specific product.
Level 3 — Full branded storefront
Gumroad, Whop, Shopify.
Best when you have a catalog and an audience that already trusts you enough to browse. This is where you build a brand store, not just a product page.
The progression
Start with Beacons pointing to your first Gumroad product. As your catalog grows, build the storefront.
don't build the mansion before you have residents.
