The one link to put in your LinkedIn bio and your email signature.

Many experts end up with a scatter of links: a website, a booking page, a newsletter, a podcast, two social profiles. Each one made sense when it was added. Together they ask a busy person to choose, and a busy person who has to choose often picks “later.”

One link fixes that. Not because the other places do not matter, but because a person who wants to hire you needs one obvious next step, and everything else can live one click behind it.

This guide is about choosing that link, making sure the page behind it earns the click, and putting it in the two places people look most: your LinkedIn profile and the bottom of every email you send.

The page behind the link has one job: to let someone who was just told your name decide to start. On a phone, in under a minute, it should answer:

• Who you are, with a face and a name they recognize from your profile.
• What you do and for whom, in one sentence.
• Whether you are taking work right now.
• How it starts: the first session, the first package, or the brief.
• One button for the next step.

You will read this link out on calls, print it on slides and type it into bios. Choose it with that in mind:

• Your own domain if you have one: yourname.com is easy to remember and never changes when a tool does.
• Short, with no tracking codes or random characters.
• About you, not about your current job title, so it survives the next change in what you offer.
• The same everywhere. One address, repeated, is how people remember it.

LinkedIn gives you a few places for a link. Use the same one in each:

1. Contact info: add it as your website, and give it a plain label if you can, such as “Work with me.”
2. Featured: add the link as the first item, with a one-line description of what someone will find there.
3. About: end the section with one sentence and the link. “If you are thinking about working together, start here.”
4. Your headline: keep it about what you do, not a list of links. The headline gets them to click your profile; the link gets them to start.

A signature is read by people who already know you a little, which makes it one of the best places for the link. Keep it short:

• Your name.
• One line of what you do, the same line as on your page.
• The link, written out, so it works even in plain-text email.
• Nothing else that competes with it: no quote, no row of social icons, no banner.

• The bio you send for talks, podcasts and panels.
• The last slide of any deck you present.
• A QR code on a printed card, for conferences and dinners.
• Your replies to “do you have a website?” in any message thread.

Some links look convenient and quietly work against you:

• A booking page on its own. It asks for a commitment before the person knows what the call is for.
• A page on your employer’s or an agency’s site. It changes when the job does, and it is not yours.
• A long list of links. It hands the choice back to the person you wanted to help decide.
• A document or PDF. It is hard to read on a phone and has nowhere to press next.

The link stays the same for years; what is behind it should change whenever your work does. When you fill up, say so on the page. When you open a new offer, put it where the next step is. A link that leads to an out-of-date page is worse than no link, because the person who clicked it believes it.

Send the link to a friend who does not know your work well, and ask one question: “If someone told you to talk to me, what would you do next after opening this?” If they can answer in one sentence, the link is doing its job. If they hesitate, simplify the page, not the link.

Any page you control can be the one link. A SoloBase Studio is built for it: on a phone it opens as a card with your face, what you do, whether you are taking clients, your city and your local hour, and it comes with a QR code and a share button. Free Studios live at yourname.solobase.me; on Pro, the Studio moves to your own domain.
