🥳 Do you know about the ‘Multi-Link (URL) Solution’?

Social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and KakaoTalk are indispensable in modern people's lives and have various advantages. They are easy to use and offer various opportunities to users.

One of the most representative examples is personal PR. In addition, they often provide opportunities to attract potential customers through portfolio exposure, and for sellers, they provide opportunities for sales… In other words, it has become easier to create opportunities to generate revenue by freely uploading unique content that can persuade others (without time or space restrictions). 😎

However, most social media platforms with these advantages restrict the ability to connect to other platforms. As you know, only one link can be directly accessed through Instagram's profile link exposure.

Being able to only display a single link limits users' wide range of social media activities and is not good news for those who want to build relationships beyond the channel. With the increasing demand for this, the multi-link solution is a solution that has seen a rapid increase in customer demand. (*Also known as micro-landing pages, Instagram bio-links, profile links, etc.)

As you know, the most well-known of the multi-link solutions is ‘Linktree’. Unlike the past, various multi-link solutions are now being serviced. However, it is difficult to find similar services in Korea, so most people use Linktree to use multi-links. *It is hard to find, but it does exist.

😕 It's famous, so I used it.. well.. Is there a Korean service?

First of all, Linktree is one of the first and most popular services that solved the problem of ‘a single link on the Instagram profile’. Just because it was the first to solve the problem doesn't mean it's perfect in every way.

For example, Korean Linktree users are unhappy with the multi-step signup process and the service screen only displayed in English. This is because the service is not localized for Korea. Foreign services provide UI/UX that is localized for their home country, so it can feel unfamiliar to Korean users. 😦

Korean users may find the static UI of Linktree to be cramped due to their preference for large screen layouts. Also, since all service settings are provided in English, it feels daunting from the start. Along with the feeling of being overwhelmed, people often set up a blog explanation/YouTube video with a ‘Must-read guide to setting up your Linktree profile’ on one side of the screen.

Now, there is a way to use the same functionality without having to refer to a blog explanation/YouTube video on one side called 'How to set up a Linktree profile', which is mandatory when setting it up. There is a solution that provides the same service as Linktree in Korea, called ‘Littly’.

✌ Advantages of using Littly instead of Linktree

- A faster signup process welcomes us.

Let's sign up for Linktree and Littly at the same time.

As you can see in the video, Littly can be started right away without any special authentication and has a simpler signup process than Linktree. It only takes 20 seconds to sign up and create a profile! (If you focus on setting up your profile, it will take a little longer than 20 seconds. 😏)

Linktree allows you to start setting links after additional settings, but Littly allows you to start right after entering your login information and profile URL, so if you prefer faster access, it would be good to use Littly?

- We are Koreans.. we like Korean! 💖

Everyone knows that Linktree is a service provided in English. It's simple to set up… but at the same time, we can't give up the desire to make our profiles even prettier. In such cases, the content displayed in English can be an obstacle.

Littly allows you to easily configure the content within your links as you wish because all setting content is in Korean. (Direct link to how to set up Littly in 20 seconds) Don't forget that inquiries, functional suggestions, etc. can be answered and reflected faster than Linktree!

🙌 Various ways to use the Littly profile link

- Update SNS profile links such as Instagram/LinkedIn

As mentioned above, social media platforms strictly regulate external channel movement. This is due to various reasons, such as the fact that if various links are activated, the time customers spend on the platform decreases. No matter the reason.. if you can only use one link, why not display various sites within that one link?

You can update your profile on all SNS where only one link is allowed through Littly.

‘When you want to show your Smart Store link and your homepage on Instagram’

‘When you want to show your website and project results together in one place, not just a simple PPT portfolio’

‘When you want to expose links to expert activities such as Kmong, Sumgo, and blogs in one place’

Update your link in these cases. Littly, which is not a service in English and is not complicated to sign up for, will actively support you.

- Company culture and product promotion

Companies often have separate promotional channels besides their main website. This is because each department can operate channels more effectively according to the purpose, such as company culture, recruitment, and business promotion.

In such cases, it is also good to include various links within ‘one profile link’. By gathering the company's various channels in one place and exposing them as a unified link, you don't need to show the links through multiple icons, and depending on the case, it won't be cumbersome to post other links.

T'way Airlines gathers its promotional channels into Littly and exposes them through Instagram profile links. They are exposing their company culture and ongoing promotions at a glance, approaching users with a more friendly corporate image.

- Personal branding and your own portfolio

Have you heard of ‘personal branding’? It's a word that's easy to say, but it's kind of ambiguous when it comes to knowing where to start. In fact, it's good to just start doing this kind of self-PR work without thinking too much about it.

It often involves making a website, creating your own blog, etc. as a starting point. The sites (links) you create like this are combined to form your portfolio.

Littly can also be used as a link collection and portfolio for personal branding. Many freelancers/job seekers are using Littly to get closer to personal branding :) 😉

🙋 What is the best alternative to Linktree for Korean users?

To communicate with more customers for social media profile updates and various businesses, people are using Littly to create profile links. You will definitely be able to apply it more easily and conveniently, just like the reasons mentioned above.🙂
