How to use LinkHive

1. Create your account and answer five short questions: what you make, what you want from your page, your look, your link and your socials. Your page is live when you finish.
2. Put your link in every bio. Your link is linkhive.store/yourname. Use a tagged version for each platform (see Tagged links) so you can tell where visitors come from.
3. Fill in anything marked "Needs your link". Those buttons stay hidden from visitors until you do.

Coming from Linktree? Type your Linktree name during setup, or later under My page → Blocks, and your links are copied across.

Your page is a stack of blocks. Drag the handle on the left to reorder, tap the eye to hide one, and tap Edit to change it. The phone on the right shows your page as visitors see it.

• Link button: goes anywhere. Add an emoji or small picture, and tick "Make it stand out" for your most important one.
• Smart button: subscribe, join, follow or message. See below.
• Featured product: shows a product or waitlist with its price.
• YouTube video and My latest YouTube video: the second updates itself with every upload.
• Email signup, Countdown, Picture, Text note, Section heading, Divider.
• Work with me: opens your media kit for brands. Fan wall: notes and questions from fans.

An ordinary link to your YouTube channel opens a web page inside Instagram's or TikTok's browser, where your fan usually isn't signed in. A smart button opens the app itself, on the right screen, so one more tap finishes the job.

Pick what the button should do, then type your username or paste your link:

• Subscribe on YouTube: needs your channel handle or link.
• Follow on Instagram: needs your username.
• Follow on TikTok: needs your username.
• Follow on X: needs your username.
• Add on Snapchat: needs your username.
• Join on Telegram: needs your channel or group username, or invite link.
• Join on Discord: needs your invite link or code.
• Follow WhatsApp channel: needs your channel link.
• Join WhatsApp group: needs your group invite link.
• Message on WhatsApp: needs your phone number with country code.
• Send an email: needs your email address.
• Call: needs your phone number with country code.
• Listen on Spotify: needs your spotify link (artist, song, show or playlist).
• Listen on Apple Music or Podcasts: needs your apple music or podcasts link.

The YouTube button opens YouTube's own "Confirm subscription" prompt. The WhatsApp button can start the chat with a message you choose, such as "Hi, I'd like to book a class".

A kit is a ready-made set of blocks for one kind of creator. Add one, then fill in your links.

• 🎤 Musician or artist: streaming buttons, a release countdown and a way to book you.
• 🎙️ Podcaster: listen everywhere, latest episode, and listener questions.
• 📈 Trader or finance educator: telegram channel, mentorship booking and a risk note.
• 🎓 Course creator or teacher: free lesson, your course, and a place for student questions.
• 💃 Dance, fitness or in-person classes: book a class on whatsapp, timetable and next workshop.
• 💻 Tech creator or developer: youtube, community, newsletter and your projects.
• 🎮 Gamer or streamer: stream link, discord, and your clips.
• 💄 Beauty, hair or fashion: bookings on whatsapp, your shop and your looks.
• 🍳 Food creator or food business: recipes, orders on whatsapp and your latest video.
• 🎭 Comedian, MC or entertainer: your videos, show dates and a booking button.
• 📷 Photographer, filmmaker or artist: portfolio, booking and prints.
• ✨ All-round creator: latest video, your socials, email list and brand deals.

• Vibes: 26 complete looks, grouped by what you make. Pick one as a starting point.
• Background: one colour, a gradient, or your own photo (darken or blur it so text stays readable). Add a pattern, your own emoji as wallpaper, or a moving effect.
• Colours, Buttons (five styles, three corner shapes) and Fonts (set headings and body separately).
• Layout: four ways to show your photo and name, icons or names for socials, and one or two columns of links.

Changes show in the preview immediately. Nothing changes for visitors until you press Save design.

Add ?src= and a platform name to your link, and LinkHive knows where each visitor came from:

• TikTok bio: linkhive.store/yourname?src=tiktok
• Instagram bio: linkhive.store/yourname?src=instagram
• YouTube description: linkhive.store/yourname?src=youtube

Then open any block and choose "Show this first to visitors coming from". A visitor from TikTok sees that block at the top; everyone else sees your normal order. Use it to match the page to what you talk about on each platform.

For a specific push, add &utm_campaign=launch to see that campaign separately in Analytics.

• What to do next: tips worked out from your own numbers, most urgent first.
• Money by platform: views, clicks, sales and revenue per visitor for each platform.
• Funnel: how many visitors click, view a product, start checkout and buy.
• Who your visitors are: new or returning, how long they stay, how far they scroll, which app they opened your page in, their country, language and device.
• Busiest hours: when to post.

Free shows the last 7 days. Pro adds 30 and 90 days.

The quick way: on the Products page, tell Hive Brain what you want to make in one sentence, pick the kind of product and how big, and press Build it for me. Hive Brain then:

1. Plans it for your audience: who it's for, what it promises, and each part in order.
2. Researches it, so facts come from real sources rather than guesswork. Where it can search the web, the sources are listed.
3. Writes a full first draft, one part at a time, in your voice.

Then make it yours. Open any part and use the buttons: Shorter, Simpler words, Add an example, Add a checklist and more. Or type what you want changed. Yellow notes mark spots that need your own story or a fact to confirm; the "To do before you sell" list collects them.

Before you sell, press "Review before I sell". Hive Brain reads it as a buyer would and lists what to fix. "Read it as a buyer" opens your product in the same reader your buyers get.

What buyers get: a book-style reader on their phone or computer, with a contents list, light, sepia and dark pages, adjustable text, tick-boxes that remember their state, and their place saved. They can also print it or save it as a PDF.

Not sure what to make? Ask for ideas: each one comes with the reason it suits your audience, and you can test it with a waitlist before building. You can also ask Hive Brain about your numbers in plain language under Hive Brain.

Add your bank account or mobile money once. Each sale is paid to it by Paystack, with LinkHive's share already taken out. Buyers get their product by email straight away.

• Free: LinkHive keeps 20% of each sale.
• Pro: 10% on products made with Hive Brain, and nothing on products you made yourself.

A product counts as made with Hive Brain if it started from a Hive Brain idea or used a Hive Brain draft.

• Rate builder: enter your followers, market and niche, tick what you offer, and get suggested prices with bundles and extras. Press "Use these on my rate card", then edit anything.
• Media kit: your public page for brands at linkhive.store/yourname/brands. Page views and click rate are measured by LinkHive and marked as verified.
• Printable rate card: at linkhive.store/yourname/rate-card, in your page's design. Press Print and choose "Save as PDF" to send it.
• Deal pipeline: every inquiry arrives with a budget. Move it from new to negotiating to paid, and keep private notes.

The rate builder is also free for anyone at linkhive.store/tools/rate-calculator.

Approve, hide, pin and reply to fan notes. Questions are also passed to Hive Brain as product ideas. Your email subscribers are listed here and can be downloaded as a spreadsheet at any time, from here or from Settings.

Run a prize draw your fans can watch and check for themselves.

1. Create it: name, prize, how many winners and when you'll draw.
2. Collect entries. Import a follower list you exported from Instagram or TikTok, paste a list, add your email subscribers, or share your giveaway page and let fans enter with their username. Nobody can be entered twice.
3. Lock the list before the draw. From then on nobody can be added or removed, and a fingerprint of the list is published.
4. Go live and press Draw. Everyone with your giveaway page open sees the wheel spin and the winner appear.

Why fans can trust it: the winning ticket comes from a public random number (drand) that doesn't exist until draw time. You can't choose the winner, and neither can LinkHive. Pressing Draw twice gives the same result, and the page has a button that re-does the whole draw on the visitor's own phone.

If a winner can't claim (not following, no reply), press "draw another". The next ticket in the same sealed sequence wins, and the page shows both.

More entries: each person who enters gets a personal link, and every friend who enters through it earns them an extra ticket. Add a Giveaway block to your page to feature it with a countdown.

Platforms don't let anyone export who liked or commented on a post, and YouTube doesn't export subscribers. For those, ask people to enter on your giveaway page and check the winner before sending the prize. Giveaways must be free to enter.

Telegram: tap Connect Telegram, then press Start in the chat that opens. You'll get a message for each sale, brand inquiry and fan note, and you can approve fan notes with a button in the chat. Choose which messages you want, including a daily or weekly summary.

Things you can type to the bot:

• /stats: views, clicks and sales for the last 7 days.
• /today: today so far.
• /sales: your latest sales.
• /link: your page link, ready to share.
• /pause: stop notifications for now.
• /resume: turn notifications back on.
• /help: what this bot can do.
• /disconnect: unlink this chat from linkhive.

Email: sales, brand inquiries and a weekly digest, each of which you can switch off.

Everything to build and run your page is free. Pro costs KES 2,000 for 30 days and gives you lower fees, 30 and 90 days of analytics, and unlimited Hive Brain. On fees alone it pays for itself once you sell about KES 20,000 of Hive Brain products in a month, and sooner on products you made yourself.
