How to collect email subscribers from your link in bio

Make a specific promise

"Subscribe" asks for something and offers nothing. "One email on Fridays with the new tracks and the stems" gives a reason. Say what they get and how often, in one line next to the form.

Use double opt-in

With double opt-in a new subscriber receives a confirmation email and is added only after clicking it. You get fewer sign-ups than with instant opt-in, but they are real addresses from people who meant it, which protects delivery for the emails that matter.

Set it up on XBio

1. Turn on the email capture widget in the editor.
2. Write a short heading and a one-line promise.
3. Subscribers confirm by email; confirmed ones appear in the Email tab.
4. Send a blast to the list (Pro), or build a drip sequence that sends a welcome series automatically.

Consider gating links behind the subscribe

XBio can hold your links back until a visitor subscribes. It works when the links are the value, such as a download or a members-only page. It costs you casual clicks, so use it on a profile whose main goal is the list, not on one that mainly sends traffic to your shop.

Respect the list

• Every XBio blast carries a one-click unsubscribe link, and unsubscribed addresses are never emailed again.
• Send when you said you would. Consistency matters more than volume.
• Export the list from the editor whenever you want a copy.
