The Link in Bio Surprise No One Told Me
So let’s talk about that little “link in bio” button you see on every big creator’s Instagram and TikTok profile. You know the one—it looks clean, organized, and opens up to this neat little menu of all their links. I always thought it was just… free. Like Instagram or TikTok gave it to them as part of being a big deal.
Plot twist: it’s not free.
When I first started sharing my blog (Anxious African Mom) and building out my other ventures, I clicked around and realized—wait a minute—you have to pay for these tools like Linktree, Beacons, or Koji to get the full features. And listen, as much as I love this creative journey, right now this is a labor of love, not labor of profit. I’m not here spending money on things I can craft or tech-hack myself.
So I had to get resourceful.
Enter Notion: My Ride-or-Die Digital Helper
If you’re new to Notion, let me put you on game. Notion is like a digital command center—it’s a workspace where you can create pages, track tasks, organize content, and build systems that make your life (and business) feel less chaotic.
For me, it started as a way to keep my blog posts, social media ideas, and family to-dos all in one spot. But then I fell in love. Notion isn’t just a note-taking app; it’s a creative tool that lets you design your own systems and—even better—share them with the world.
My Free “Link in Bio” Page
One day, after side-eyeing those Linktree pricing plans, it hit me: What if I just built my own link in bio page inside Notion?
With the help of a template from Notion’s library, I did exactly that. A few quick tweaks and it looked and behaved just like the paid tools—minus the monthly fee. I customized it with my own links—blog, TikTok, Pinterest, SparkSynergy, you name it—and the result is clean, minimalist, mobile-friendly, and super easy to update.
And the best part?
✨ It’s FREE.99. ✨
Here’s my page: SparkSynergy Link in Bio on Notion
I’ve even set it up so you can copy my page as a template. No need to start from scratch—just hit “Duplicate” in the top right corner of the Notion page, and boom: your very own customizable link hub.
Why This Hack Works for Small Creators
- No monthly fees: Keep that $5–$15 for coffee, diapers, or ad spend.
- Professional look: Your audience won’t know it’s Notion unless you tell them.
- Unlimited links: Add categories, buttons, even embed videos if you want.
- Fast edits: Update once in Notion—your bio link is always current.
- Own your system: No “feature gating,” no upsells, no surprises.
For small creators like us, who are still in the building phase, this is the kind of tech hack that makes the difference. It keeps you looking polished without spending money you don’t have yet.
Ready to Make Yours?
If you’ve been wanting a link in bio but side-eyed the cost, this is your sign. Copy my Notion template, plug in your links, and you’ll have your own creator-ready hub in minutes.
Sometimes the smartest moves are the scrappy ones. And if you’re like me—balancing motherhood, creativity, and entrepreneurship—every saved dollar and tech shortcut counts.
So go ahead, upgrade your link in bio game without spending a dime. You’ll thank me later. 😉
