To add a link to your TikTok bio, your account needs to have at least 1,000 followers. If you don’t meet this requirement, one approach is to purchase a TikTok account with 1,000+ followers, which typically costs around $10. While there are numerous websites offering this service, it’s essential to research thoroughly to avoid scams.
For Instagram, there are no follower requirements to add a link to your bio. You can include a link immediately after creating your account.
Regarding TikTok shadowbanning for using "link in bio" CTAs in videos, it’s best to use indirect language like "Check the link in my profile" or add the link text in the video description without explicitly saying it in the video. This approach minimizes the risk of reduced visibility.
