When we launched Start Page 12 months ago we set out to build a beautiful, mobile-friendly, link in bio site that’s easy to set up and even easier to update.
Over that time we’ve been adding heaps of small improvements and updates, but today is our biggest update to date…
As of today, you can schedule posts to appear on your Start Page whenever you’d like.
That means, you can schedule, links, images, text, and more to go live whenever you’d like. You can schedule content to both your social channels and your Start Page simultaneously with Buffer.
Since launching, our team has been hard at work adding a number of updates, including:
- The GIF gallery: a collection of hand picked gifs to style your Start Page
- Promote YouTube videos: a block to spotlight your latest YouTube upload
- Image links grid: Upload images to a grid and link each image to a relevant webpage
- Embed songs & podcasts with Spotify: listen to audio directly in Start Page
- 16 new themes: style your Start Page your way with new themes
Now, over 25,150 Start Pages have been shared with the world since we launched last year.
We’ve seen photographers to plumbers, baking sites to gig nights, share their Start Page with the world.
However, the ultimate goal of Start Page was for it to act as a link in bio. A simple site to direct your social fans to to direct them to the links that matter most to you.
And there’s one unique feature we’ve been excited to add to help with that.
New from Buffer — Start Page Posts
From today, anyone can schedule content to appear on their Start Page.
That means, you can schedule, links, images, text, and more to go live whenever you’d like. You can schedule content to both your social channels and your Start Page simultaneously with Buffer.
On your Start Page, you can schedule:
️☕️ Information about your next event
🎶 Ticket details to your latest gig
📱 Release notes about your last update
✈️ Discounts for your customers
👆Updates on your product production
➕ And much, much more
Plus, all your scheduled Start Page updates can contain links.
One thing we heard from customers was that using links on social often limited the amount of reach a post could get.
We decided to look into this and found that using a link can reduce reach by up to 40 percent.
Start Page Posts can help. Rather than posting links directly on social, you can schedule these updates to your Start Page feed.
Direct your audience to your link in bio in your post rather than using the link directly. That should help you capture the reach you deserve.
And one more thing, it’s free!
Unlike most link in bio tools on the market, our scheduling feature comes at no extra cost.
