Step 2: Exploring the Taplink Dashboard
Once registered, you’ll land on the Taplink dashboard.
This is where the real customization begins, but in order to begin, we need go through and understand the dashboard. It is here where you can create your landing page, check your stats, and access various design and customization tools.
To find a pre-made template you have options for a “link in bio page” or a “landing page” template. The link in bio page is ideal for bringing multiple links together in one place. It is often used in a Instagram bio since you are limited to one link there. On the other hand, we have the landing page template, which allows you to incorporate photos, videos, opt-in forms, maps, timers, and more.
Scroll to the bottom of the dashboard, and you’ll find a categories section, perfect for finding a template that suits your specific needs.
Now that we have an understanding of the dashboard, it’s time to put that knowledge to action. The following steps will guide you through the process of setting up your first landing page.
Step 1: Finding a Template
Now that you on are on the dashboard, decide whether you would like to create a landing page or link in bio. Once selected, you will again have two main options: start from a empty template or select a pre-designed one. For beginners, using a pre-designed template saves time and offers inspiration.
To begin, click on a template you like and that is suitable for your needs. This will then show your template in a bigger size where you have the option to continue or discard and go back to the template options.
If you are happy with this template, then click on ‘Choose’.
Step 2: Customizing Your Landing Page
This is where the fun begins – customizing your Taplink page! It’s perfect for beginners thanks to the drag-and-drop functionality. This makes it easy to edit blocks to include different elements like images, links, and text. Each block can be added, moved, or deleted as needed. 
1. Editing Images: Click on the image block to upload a new photo or avatar. Adjust the size to fit your design. 
2. Selecting Brand Name: Click on where it says “YOUR BRAND NAME” and a tab will pop up where you can enter your brand name. Again, the size of this can be adjusted to however you like 
3. Text Customization: Click on text blocks to edit content. Use this space to include descriptions, calls to action, or personal bios. To add a new block, click “Add Block” then select the type you want, like Timer or FAQ.
Step 3: Adding Links
For influencers or businesses, adding multiple links is essential. Whether it’s a blog, online store, or social media profiles, simply click on “Add Block” located at the bottom (see above). Then click on “Link” and paste the URL. Customize the button text to match your brand tone. 
Step 4: Adding Key Sections
To make your landing page comprehensive, consider including key sections. These sections can help organize content and guide visitors.
- About Me: Share details about yourself and your work. Engage visitors with a brief but compelling bio.
- Contact Me: Make it easy for people to reach out. Include options like sending an email or filling out a contact form.
- Online Store: If you sell products or services, add a section dedicated to your offerings. This can link to your main store or feature direct purchase options.
By adding these sections, your landing page becomes more functional. This setup drives better engagement and effectively converts visitors. For more about designing high-converting landing pages, you can check HubSpot’s guide which provides valuable insights.
