Creator growth hack: Turn free products into future sales with Bio Sites
Giving something away for free might be one of the smartest growth moves creators can make. And now, with Bio Sites, you can offer free digital products and 1:1 appointments directly from your link in bio, making it easier than ever to build an email list that’s primed to buy, buy, buy!
Why offer free digital products and appointments?
Free products are strategic tools that help you grow your income and connect with your audience.
Grow your audience beyond social media
With a Bio Site, you can capture email addresses in exchange for free products and appointments, giving you an engaged audience on and off social media.
Demonstrate your value
Some people need to experience your work before committing to a purchase. Free digital products or 1:1 sessions give hesitant buyers a risk-free way to see what you can do. Once they recognize your value, they’re more likely to invest in your paid products or services.
Drive more sales with automated emails
Free products can also serve as the starting point for a sales funnel. With our Email Automations feature, you can follow up with leads to promote relevant products or services they can buy.
