Many of our partners have a strong presence on Insight Timer, and while the platform does not allow direct external promotion or links to other platforms, there are smart and compliant ways to guide your audience toward your Breakthrough app. Here’s how:


🎯 1. Focus on Building Trust First

Insight Timer users come to you for authentic connection, healing, and wisdom. Use your content to build a genuine relationship. Your app becomes more valuable once users already trust your teaching style and want more.


📦 2. Use “This is Part of a Bigger Practice” Language

While you can’t link directly, you can hint at a broader offering:

“This meditation is part of a full series I’ve created to support you on your journey.”

“If you’re looking to go deeper with this type of practice, I’ve built something special just for that.”

This subtly plants the seed that you have something beyond Insight Timer.


📚 3. Add It to Your Bio Strategically

While you can’t hyperlink to external platforms in most areas, you can mention your app in your Insight Timer bio. Keep it subtle, but informative:

“Creator of the [Your App Name] wellness app – a space for deep practice and personal transformation.”

When users search for you or Google your name + app, they’ll find it.


💬 4. Use Comments & Journals Thoughtfully

If you engage with your community through journaling prompts or post-session comments, you can mention that you’re expanding your content outside Insight Timer. For example:

“If this resonated with you, I have more programs and practices available for daily support.”

(Just be mindful not to include URLs.)


🌱 5. Encourage Email Signups on Insight Timer

In your profile or through your journal prompts, guide users to sign up for your email list. Then, you can promote your app directly through your emails:

“To receive weekly reflections and practices, join my free newsletter.”

Once someone is on your email list, you can freely share your app link and updates.


🚀 6. Mention Your App in Live Sessions (If You Host)

During live events or classes, you can mention your app vocally, even if you can’t link it. For example:

“Many of you have asked for a more structured journey — I’ve created an app that gives you that.”

This keeps your promotion natural and aligned with your teaching.


⚠️ A Quick Reminder

Avoid placing direct links to your app in the Insight Timer description, titles, or comments—this may violate their community policies. Always prioritize value first and speak authentically about how your app is an extension of your teaching.


💡 Bonus Tip: Add Your App Link to Your Website & Social Media

If you have your own website or Instagram bio, make sure your app is easy to find there. Insight Timer followers often search for you outside the app!


You’re doing meaningful work. Let’s make sure the right people find your app. 🌟
