How to Create a Personal Page for All Your Links

How many times have you tried to share all your social profiles with someone? You type out your Instagram handle, then your LinkedIn, then your email, then realize you forgot to mention your YouTube channel…

What if you could just share one link? One URL that has everything,all your social profiles, your contact info, your blog, your portfolio, whatever you want people to find. That’s a personal hub page, and you can create one in about 15 minutes.

Unlike a full website, this is super simple. Just you, your links, and maybe a short bio. That’s all you need.

Why a Personal Hub Page Makes Sense

You might be thinking, “Don’t I already have LinkedIn? Or Instagram? Why do I need another thing?” Fair question. Here’s why a personal page is useful:

One link for everything - Instead of sending someone multiple links, you send one. “All my stuff is at yourname.com”

You control it - Platforms change. Your personal page stays the same. It’s not dependent on any social media company’s rules or changes.

Works for networking - New business contact? Send them your link. New friend? Same link. It works for professional and personal contexts.

Not tied to one platform - Some people aren’t on LinkedIn. Some avoid Instagram. Your page works for everyone regardless of what platforms they use.

Easy to update - Add a new social account? Just update your page. Everyone who has your link now sees the new addition.

More personal than LinkedIn - LinkedIn is professional and formal. Your personal page can show more personality and include things LinkedIn doesn’t fit well, like your Twitch stream or photography Instagram.

Think of it as your internet business card,simple, but comprehensive.

What to Include on Your Personal Page

The beauty of a personal hub page is its simplicity. Here’s what you need:

Your Photo

A clear photo of yourself. Not a logo, not a landscape, not your pet,you. People connect with faces. It doesn’t need to be a professional headshot. A good photo from your phone where you look friendly and clear is perfect.

Make it recent enough that people would recognize you if they met you in person.

Your Name

Obvious, but worth stating. Your actual name, big and clear at the top.

A Short Bio (2-3 Sentences)

This is the “who are you” bit. Keep it casual and real:

“I’m a teacher and amateur photographer in Austin. I post lesson ideas on Twitter and landscape photos on Instagram. Always happy to connect with other educators.”

Or: “Marketing professional by day, home cook by night. I share career tips on LinkedIn and food experiments on TikTok.”

Or simply: “Software engineer, climber, coffee enthusiast. Based in Seattle.”

You’re giving people context about who you are. Not your resume, just enough to understand what you’re about.

This is the core of the page. Buttons or links to:

Only include profiles you actually use. If you haven’t posted on Twitter in three years, don’t link it.

Optional Additions

Depending on what you want, you might add:

But don’t feel obligated. The basics (photo, name, bio, links) are plenty.

Building Your Personal Hub Page

Here’s how to create this in about 15 minutes:

Step 1: Pick Your Platform

Several tools make this super easy:

Carrd - Perfect for this. Simple one-page sites. Free version available, paid is $19/year.

About.me - Specifically designed for personal pages. Clean templates.

Linktree or similar - While designed for social media bios, they can work as personal pages too.

Notion - If you already use Notion, create a public page. Free and functional.

Wix or Squarespace - More robust builders, but overkill for this simple need.

I’d recommend Carrd for most people. It’s designed exactly for simple pages like this and is very affordable.

Step 2: Choose a Template

Look for templates labeled:

Pick the simplest one. You’re looking for:

The simpler the template, the easier it is to customize and the faster your page loads.

Step 3: Add Your Content

Now just fill it in:

Upload your photo. Make sure it’s clear and recognizable.

Enter your name. Pretty straightforward.

Write your bio. Keep it to 2-3 sentences. Write it like you’re introducing yourself to someone at a casual meetup, not like you’re writing a LinkedIn summary.

Add your links. Create a button or link for each social profile or contact method. Make the button text clear:

Don’t be vague. “Click here” or “Link” doesn’t tell people what they’re clicking.

Step 4: Customize the Look

Make it feel like you:

Colors - Pick colors you like. If you have personal brand colors, use those. If not, just pick something that feels like you. Avoid choosing ten different colors,one or two accent colors is plenty.

Fonts - Keep it readable. The template’s default fonts are usually good. If you change them, make sure they’re easy to read.

Background - A solid color or subtle gradient works well. Avoid busy background images that make text hard to read.

Button style - Pick a style (rounded, square, filled, outlined) and keep it consistent for all buttons.

You’re not trying to be a designer. Simple and clean looks good.

Step 5: Test Everything

Before you consider it done:

This takes two minutes but prevents embarrassing mistakes.

Step 6: Get Your URL

The free option is usually something like “yourname.carrd.co” which is totally fine.

For the most professional option, get your own domain:

Domains cost about $10-15 per year. Most platforms make connecting a custom domain easy,just a few clicks and you’re done.

Having your own domain means your link never changes even if you switch platforms later.

Making Your Page Stand Out

Even within the constraints of a simple page, you can add personality:

Use your voice in the bio - Don’t write formally if that’s not you. Your page can be professional without being stiff.

Add a current status - “Currently: Training for a marathon” or “Recently: Moved to Denver” gives people something recent to connect about.

Include something unexpected - A fun fact or unusual hobby makes you more memorable.

Choose colors that fit your personality - Bright and bold? Minimal and muted? Your color choices say something about you.

Update your bio seasonally - Every few months, refresh your bio to reflect what you’re currently into or working on.

Where to Share Your Personal Page

Once your page is live, use that URL everywhere:

Email signature - Your name linked to your page.

Social media bios - Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn,put your personal page URL in the bio.

Business cards - If you have them, your page URL should be on there.

Video descriptions - If you’re a content creator, link your page in video descriptions.

Forum profiles - Reddit, Discord, anywhere you have a profile.

Networking - When you meet someone new, “All my info is at michaelchen.com” is cleaner than rattling off different handles.

The more places you use it, the more valuable it becomes.

Keeping It Updated

The nice thing about a personal page is it doesn’t need constant updates. But do refresh it when:

You join a new platform - Added TikTok? Put it on your page.

You stop using a platform - If you haven’t posted on something in a year, remove that link.

Your bio changes - New job? New city? Update it.

Your photo is outdated - If you got a haircut or your photo is five years old, update it.

Something no longer reflects you - Your interests change. That’s normal. Update your page to match.

Maybe review it every few months to make sure it still feels accurate.

Personal vs. Professional

You might wonder if this should be professional or personal. The answer: it can be both, or you can make two versions.

One page for everything - Most people do fine with one page that includes both professional and personal links. Your LinkedIn and your Instagram can coexist peacefully.

Separate pages if needed - If you want to keep work and personal very separate, you could make two: yourname.com for professional, and a different URL for personal. But honestly, most people don’t need this separation.

The modern reality is that professional and personal blur more than they used to. Most people’s social media is a mix. That’s okay.

Cost Breakdown

Creating a personal hub page is cheap:

Free option:

Professional option:

That’s less than dinner out. For having your own corner of the internet, it’s hard to beat.

You might be thinking this sounds like Linktree. It’s similar, but with advantages:

You own it - It’s your domain, your page. Linktree could change pricing or features tomorrow; you’re not affected.

More flexible - You can customize however you want. Add sections, change layouts, include more text.

No branding - Linktree pages have their branding. Yours doesn’t.

Can expand - If you later want to add a blog or portfolio, you can expand your page. Linktree is locked into their format.

That said, Linktree is fine too. The best solution is the one you’ll actually create and use.

You’re More Than One Profile

In a world where everyone has multiple online presences, a simple personal hub page is genuinely useful. It’s the digital equivalent of handing someone a business card, except this one has everything they might need to connect with you.

You don’t need a full website with multiple pages and a blog and complex navigation. You need one simple page that says “Here’s who I am, here’s where to find me.”

That’s it. A photo, a few sentences, and a handful of links.

You can set this up this afternoon. Pick a platform, choose a template, add your photo and bio, link your profiles, and publish. Fifteen minutes, and you have a permanent home on the web.

Then share that link everywhere. In your email signature, your social bios, when networking, whenever someone asks how to stay in touch.

One link. All your stuff. Simple as that.

Go create yours.
