If you teach an online course, you probably share links in a dozen places — your Instagram bio, your email signature, podcast show notes, Facebook group intros. Linktree gives you a single URL that holds all of them: your course enrollment page, a free lead magnet, your social profiles, a testimonial, whatever matters most right now. Visitors land on one clean page and choose where to go. It takes about ten minutes to set up, it's free, and it solves the "one link in bio" constraint that every social platform imposes.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A single URL that routes visitors to your course, lead magnet, and social profiles
- A link-in-bio page that updates without changing the URL itself
- A branded landing page visitors recognize and know how to use instantly
- One link to maintain across every platform, bio, and email signature
Why Linktree for course creators
The core problem Linktree solves is simple: social platforms give you one clickable link, but you have multiple things to share. Your course enrollment page, a free workshop registration, a podcast, a blog post — they all matter, and they shift in priority depending on the week. Without a link-in-bio tool, you're constantly swapping out that single URL or defaulting to your homepage.
Step-by-step: Building your course landing page
Create your Linktree account
Go to linktr.ee and sign up with your email. Choose a username that matches your brand — this becomes your public URL (linktr.ee/yourname). Keep it short and easy to say out loud, because you'll be sharing this URL verbally in webinars, podcasts, and live sessions.
Add your course enrollment link
Your most important link goes at the top. Add a new link, paste your course enrollment or sales page URL, and give it a clear title — "Enroll in [Course Name]" or "Start Learning [Topic] Today." Avoid vague labels like "Click here." The link title is doing the work of a micro-headline: it should tell someone exactly what they get when they tap it.
Add a lead magnet link
Not everyone who visits your Linktree is ready to buy. A free resource — a PDF guide, a mini-course, a checklist — gives those visitors a reason to share their email address. Title it with the benefit: "Free Guide: 5 Steps to [Outcome]" rather than just "Free Download."
Add your social profile links
Linktree has a dedicated social icons section at the bottom of your page. Add the platforms where you're active. These appear as small icons rather than full-width buttons, keeping them visually secondary to your course and lead magnet links.
Customize the design
Under Linktree's Appearance settings, choose a background color or theme that matches your course brand. Upload a profile photo or logo, write a one-line bio that says what you teach and who you help, and preview the page on mobile before publishing. Most visitors will see this on a phone.
Share your Linktree URL everywhere
Copy your Linktree URL and place it in every spot where you currently have (or wish you had) a link: your Instagram bio, TikTok profile, Twitter/X bio, Facebook page, LinkedIn featured section, email signature, YouTube channel description, podcast show notes. When your priorities change, you rearrange links on Linktree and every platform automatically points to the updated page.
Tips for course creators
Put your highest-priority link first
Linktree analytics consistently show that the top link gets the most clicks. Treat the first position like prime real estate. During a launch, that's your enrollment page. Between launches, it might be your lead magnet or a free workshop. Rearranging takes seconds.
Update your Linktree seasonally
A stale Linktree with links to last year's webinar erodes trust. Set a recurring monthly reminder to review your links. Remove anything expired, reorder based on what you're currently promoting, and check that every URL still works. A short, current list of three to five links converts better than eight to ten where half are outdated.
Use thumbnails strategically
Each link on Linktree can have a thumbnail image. For your course enrollment link, use your course cover image. For your lead magnet, use an image of the resource itself. Visual cues help visitors make faster decisions. Create thumbnails quickly with Canva.
Limitations
A link list, not a sales page
Linktree gives you a single page with a vertical list of links. You can't add long-form sales copy, embedded videos, testimonial carousels, or checkout forms. If you need a page that persuades and converts, you need an actual landing page builder or the sales page on your course platform. Linktree is the front door, not the showroom.
Limited analytics
The free plan includes basic analytics — total views and clicks per link — but nothing deeper. You can't see where visitors came from, how long they stayed, or conversion rates. The Pro plan ($5/month) adds click-through rates and scheduled links, but even Pro analytics are limited.
You don't own the URL
Your page lives at linktr.ee/yourname, not on your domain. If Linktree changes its terms, that URL stops working. Keep your own website or course platform as the canonical home for your content, and use Linktree as a routing layer — not a replacement for owning your online presence.
Frequently asked questions
Is Linktree free for course creators?
Linktree offers a free plan with unlimited links, basic customization, and lifetime analytics. The Pro plan ($5/month) adds priority links, email collection, scheduled links, and more design options. Most solo course creators can stay on free indefinitely.
Can I collect email addresses through Linktree?
On the Pro plan, Linktree includes a built-in email collection form. On the free plan, you can link to a separate landing page for email signups. Either approach works — the key is making the lead magnet link prominent.
Should I use Linktree or a full landing page for my course?
They serve different purposes. Linktree is ideal as a link-in-bio hub. A full sales page handles the actual conversion with detailed descriptions, testimonials, and checkout. Most course creators use both: Linktree as the front door from social media, and a dedicated sales page for the enrollment conversation.
