Still Using Bit.ly and Linktr.ee ?

What is the easiest quickest way to share your most popular URLs on social media these days? Bit.ly  and LinkTr.ee of course! 

Bit.ly Let's you create a short link. Something easy to read, easy to remember. 

LinkTr.ee gives you a single easy-to-read link that connects your audience to all of your most vital links with a single click. 

Both are genius ideas! They solve several problems and make business that much simpler. 

They are also absolutely unnecessary!

You read that right.

They are totally not necessary, and honestly, I wouldn't recommend them. And here's why...

1) Your users are 1 step away from you. The idea behind Linktr.ee or any LinkinBio software is to get your users closer to you and on your website. But with any LinkinBio software your audience is being directed to an outside landing page, and trusting that all will go smoothly they will make it to your website. Most days it will run smooth, but it's always possible for that third-party software to go down, or that a link gets mistyped or becomes out of date. By creating an internal Simplero page for your LinkinBio you have the ability to choose the link from your dropdown; ensuring that your link is always up to date and accurate. 

2) It's not on brand. Even with the "design your own" option in linktr.ee the customization options are limited.  Now I'm going to guess that you've spent time designing your Instagram and social media profiles to be on brand with your website. And if you are like most business owners you want your user experience to flow. 

3) Simplero is an all-in-one software; reducing the need for WordPress, Mailchimp, and Zenlearn, just to name a few. But it also has a built-in link feature, Shortlinks! Shortlinks lets you create a bit.ly style link, that you can easily put in your social media profiles and anywhere a short link might be needed. 

4) Bit.ly like many URL generators combine a random combo of letters and numbers. It tells your audience nothing about what they are going to view, and it doesn't help them to connect with you or make it easy to remember like they should. But with Simplero you can customize that shortlink and tell you're audience who and what they are about to see.
