Learn how Linkthis functions & how to use it






To use Linkthis effectively, we should first explore its framework, starting with Projects.


 


What are Projects?


Think of Projects like shells that hold nuts or the folders that carry your documents. Projects exist to enhance your use and provide more organization. They have 2 primary purposes:




 


How do I create a Project?




Access the Linkthis Dashboard from the home screen.




Create a project by clicking the button




Write a project name, for example, Bob's Tools


Congratulations! Now that you've created your first project, you're on your way to collecting more valuable usercentric data. Next is what to do within your project.


 


What are Project Linkthis pages?


Project Linkthis pages are the customizable pages that hold your links. A good example of a Linkthis page is linkth.is/get-one. The links you see on that page are created within the Linkthis page.


You can have an endless amount of Linkthis pages within a Project, for free.


 


How do I create a Linkthis page?




Click on Create within your Project




Create a Linkthis page URL


TIP: Your Linkthis page link cannot have a .com, .ca, or any domain extension. Just make it a keyword, business name, promotion, etc. A wrong link would be "www.bobstools.com" (that would look like linth.is/www.bobtools.com and won't work).


 




 


Linkthis page settings


We provide many options to customize your Linkthis page. To begin customizing, change the title, add a description, and choose a background. You can preview any changes you make to your Linkthis page live!


Don't forget to click the Update button after any changes.

Bonus


Linkthis is still in the beta stage. What that means is that we aren't in full production, so some things may not work as expected or may be overly complicated. If you notice something broken or think something should change, we'd appreciate any input. To provide feedback on a page, how we're doing, or if something is broken, click on the pink "Feedback" tab on the right-hand-side of the screen.
