Use a Link-in-Bio Tool as Your Sales Hub

If you're not ready to build a full website or just want something quick to validate your idea, mini-website tools are a smart and efficient first step. They let you launch your products, build an email list, and start selling without needing technical skills or external tools.

These all-in-one platforms are made for digital creators. They’re especially powerful when linked in your social media bios, turning casual visitors into customers. With just one link, you can showcase products, deliver lead magnets, collect payments, and even automate delivery.

You can also connect them to tools like Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp, or ConvertKit, but most already offer built-in systems for payments, email collection, and product delivery.

💡
Want to see how we use it? Check out Entrepedia on Instagram and click the link in our bio. We use it to guide people from our content to the right products and resources. It works especially well when running Instagram ads. Many people discover us through paid ads, so this page acts as a simple and high-converting home base.

Example of Creating Your Mini-Website

📌
We use the same story as in the previous lesson about Mike, who creates digital products about investment.

Mike's Use Case

👍🏼
In this example, Mike enjoys creating valuable and consistent educational content about investments and finances. He already has some followers and doesn’t see the need to create a custom website. He is looking for an easier solution with faster implementation that can integrate with his existing social media channels, allowing him to generate sales directly from them. That's why he decided to use an all-in-one social media tool.

After researching Beacons, Stan, and Zaap, he chose Zaap.bio because they offer their own payment system and email marketing tools, so he doesn’t have to set up Stripe or anything else from the beginning.

He goes to https://zaap.bio/ and creates his profile. He pays for the “Pro” package, which is only $9. That’s definitely worth a try.

📌
After a quick setup, he creates his own landing page with these features:

📚 Lead Magnet:

His landing page starts with a free lead magnet form. You upload your document inside Zaap, and they will automatically deliver the product to customers after they fill out the form.

📄 Product Pages:

Then he creates a page for each product, starting with ebooks and templates. After opening the product page, you see more information about each product.

💬 Paid Coaching Calls

Since Mike offers 1-on-1 consultations, he also implements this inside his landing page on Zaap.bio. One of their features is having a calendar where customers can book a spot and pay right away.

📧 Email List:

At the bottom of the page, there is an option to join a newsletter that Mike plans to send out every week. It’s great for building an email list.

📌
Zaap includes a built-in checkout system. When you create a product page, you’ll also be prompted to upload the product file. Below, I’ll walk you through how to create and launch a product inside Zaap.

🛒 Choose your product:

Whether it's a consultation call on the calendar or a digital product.

🛠️ Let’s build your product:

After you choose a Digital Product option, you will be asked to fill in general information such as Product Title, Description, and Pricing. If you want to create a Lead Magnet, select “Free” pricing. If not, choose “Single Payment” or the interesting "Pay What You Want" pricing option in Zaap.

🎨 Final touches:

After filling out the previous page, you'll reach the final step, which is crucial for this guide as it addresses the problem of storage and delivery of your digital product. You can easily upload your product directly to Zaap. This means Zaap will automatically deliver it after purchase. Since you're using the built-in checkout, you don't need any additional email automation tools because everything is already integrated.
