Hi sweet friends! 💛

Let me tell you about a fantastic tool I've discovered that can revolutionize how you connect with your audience across all of your platforms. ➡️ Enter Bento.me, a beautifully designed alternative to LinkTree that helps you create a stunning hub for all your digital touchpoints.

What Makes Bento.me Special

Think of Bento.me as your digital business card, but way more elegant and functional. You can showcase everything from your portfolio to your social media profiles, newsletter signup, and even your latest projects – all in one sleek, organized space.

Perfect for Getting Started

Here's why Bento.me might be perfect for you:

For artists without a website:

It's incredibly user-friendly
The design is clean and professional
You can customize it to match your brand
It's completely free to get started
Your links are organized beautifully in one place

A Strategic Perspective for Website Owners

If you already have your own website, you'll want to think strategically about this. 🌼

While Bento.me is fantastic, driving traffic to your own website should be your primary goal. Why? Because your website is your digital home – it's where you have complete control over your audience's experience and where you can best showcase your work and offerings.

Creating Your Own Links Page

If you're comfortable with web development, consider creating your own "links" page on your website that is designed to look like a Bento.me page (see my example here). This approach offers several advantages:

You keep visitors within your website ecosystem
You maintain full control over the design and functionality
You can track visitor behavior directly through your analytics
It strengthens your website's overall traffic and engagement
You can update and modify it whenever you need to

Making the Right Choice

Whether you choose Bento.me or create your own Bento-style page, the key is to make it easy for your audience to connect with you wherever they prefer to engage. ➡️ Just make sure your strategy aligns with your overall digital presence goals.
