Your hello.fan page lives at one short link — hello.fan/yourname — and it only earns when people can find it. Put it where your audience already looks at you: your profile bios, the descriptions under your videos, your pinned posts, your group chats and your replies to DMs. Next to the link, always say what people can call you for and when you're usually online. Then repeat it regularly, and check “Your link at work” to see which places bring visits.

What does your link actually show people?
When someone taps hello.fan/yourname, they land on your page: your photo, your headline, your prices for video, voice and chat, and whether you're online right now. From there they can:
- call you by video, voice or chat if you're online;
- book a session inside your working hours, paid up front, if you offer bookings;
- send an Icebreaker — a 10-credit one-line hello you answer once — or a Super Hello, a gift with a private note;
- heart you, so they get an alert the next time you come online.
So the link is not "a page about you". It is a working front door, open even while you sleep. Treat it like your phone number for paid conversations — except your real phone number stays private.
How do you choose a good link?
If you can, use the same name you already use on social media. Followers recognise it, it's easy to say out loud in a video ("hello dot fan slash yourname"), and it looks trustworthy in a bio. Short beats clever. Avoid adding random numbers if a cleaner version is free.
Where should you put your link?
Most social apps make only one link clickable — the one in your profile — so that spot matters most. But the bio is only the beginning. Here is a checklist, roughly from most to least important for a typical creator:
| Place | What to do |
|---|---|
| Instagram and TikTok bio | Make hello.fan/yourname the link, or the first one in your link list, with one line saying what a call is for. |
| YouTube | Add the link at the top of your video descriptions and in a pinned comment; mention it out loud near the end. |
| X, Facebook, Snapchat, Twitch profiles | Put it in the profile link field and in a pinned post. |
| Stories and posts | Share it when you go online, with the time: "Taking calls tonight, 8–10 pm." |
| WhatsApp and Telegram groups | Share it with a short, personal message — the people in your groups already trust you. |
| DM replies | When a DM turns into a real question, answer kindly and offer a call for the longer version. |
| E-mail signature and website | One line: "Talk to me 1:1 — hello.fan/yourname." |
If you use a link-list page with many buttons, put hello.fan at the top. A link buried at the bottom of a list of twelve is a link nobody taps.
What should you write next to your link?
A link without a reason is easy to ignore. Every time you share it, add two things: what people can call you for, and when. A few lines you can adapt:
- Bio: "Quick Spanish practice with me: hello.fan/yourname"
- Bio: "Form checks & training questions — call me: hello.fan/yourname"
- Story: "I'm online for calls tonight from 8 to 10. Ask me anything: hello.fan/yourname"
- Post caption: "So many of you asked about my setup — I'm taking video calls this weekend to go through yours. Link in bio."
- DM reply: "Great question — the full answer takes a few minutes. Call me when I'm online and we'll go through it together: hello.fan/yourname"
The templates page has ready-made lines for bios, stories, pinned comments, DM replies and "I'm online" announcements, and the link in bio guide goes deeper on wording.
Should you announce when you're online?
Yes — it is the single most useful thing to post. A fan who sees "online now" or "online tonight at 8" knows the call can happen today. On hello.fan, working hours switch you online and offline by themselves, so you can post your regular hours once ("Weekdays 7–10 pm") and they stay true. The Android app rings your phone like a normal call even when it's closed, so being online doesn't mean staring at a screen. (The iOS app is on its way; the browser works everywhere.)
Fans who hearted your page also get an alert when you come online — so every announcement works twice.
What is the Promote kit?
Writing and designing posts takes time. hello.fan's Promote kit gives creators ready-made stories, posts, covers and short videos that already carry their own link, so you can download one and post it straight away. Use it when you launch your page, when you change your hours and whenever your feed has gone quiet about calls.
How do you know whether your link is working?
hello.fan shows "Your link at work": the visits that came to your page through your own link. Use it like a simple experiment:
- Note your visits for a week with the link only in your bio.
- Add one new place — a pinned comment, a story with your hours, a group message.
- Compare the next week.
Visits that don't turn into calls point back to your page (Lesson 2) or your prices (Lesson 3). Few visits at all means the link needs more places, or a clearer reason next to it.
How often should you share your link?
More often than feels natural. Your followers don't see everything you post, and someone who scrolled past your link last week might be ready today. A simple rhythm: keep it in your bio permanently, mention it whenever you go online, and give it a proper post — with an example of what a call is like — every week or two. Vary the reason each time: a question someone asked, a session you enjoyed, a new time slot.
What are the most common link mistakes?
- Posting it once and never again. One announcement is not a strategy.
- No reason to click. "Link in bio" alone says nothing; say what the call is for.
- Moving fans to another app to pay. Keep calls and payment on the platform: that is where billing, privacy, block and report, and payouts live.
- Hiding the link at the bottom of a long link list.
