Tap Bio is a mini-website, in story form, that you make and manage on your phone, inside Instagram. With Tap Bio, anyone using Instagram to build their business--whether with a personal account or a business account--now has full control over where they’re pointing their followers, so that more become buyers, readers, subscribers, and supporters.

Hey everyone, We made Tap Bio for entrepreneurs, side hustlers, and small businesses who are working the Instagram everyday to make a living and grow their business. We’re inspired by these people. One of us, Ryan, is married to one (@againstallgrain). Ryan created a product called Link in Profile in 2016 to help Danielle sell more cookbooks. It worked, so he turned it into a product as a side-project. When he accepted a gig at Apple that he couldn't refuse, he handed it off to Jesse, who's been running it since. Tap Bio is an evolution of Link in Profile (though we'll continue to run it as well) that grew out of our interacting with thousands of customers over the past few years. Now Ryan's back full-time and we're excited to see what happens. Big thanks to the team: Alizah, Christian, Jenna, Julie, Latasha, Noel, Sam, and Tim. You guys rock, and showed your true colors through the final push to launch. Thanks also to our advisors: Gabrielle Blair, Jared Erondu, Seth Goldstein, Aaron Gotwalt, Jeannine Harvey, and Andrew Nystrom. Your insights and support are golden. Happy to answer any questions you have. I'll be back after grabbing a few zzz's.

@againstallgrain @engle Really wanted to get in on this, but it looks like the curse of the 404 struck me (perhaps with the deluge of demand you guys are sure to get with such a cool idea). Tried messaging/Dm through Instagram as some of the links are crashing out on your community members (again, perhaps with all the folk trying to get in). Looking forward to trying out soon! Keep up the great work 💪

@againstallgrain @engle @saclark99 I'm so sorry that you are experiencing some sign up issues. Can you shoot me an email at ryan at tap.bio and we can get to the bottom of the issues you are seeing with links crashing and sign up? We are working actively to solve this 404 error.

@againstallgrain @engle @maddenwalker Just wanna say these guys are super helpful when the gremlins bite, and thanks to their ace support, Tap.Bio really is as awesome as the trailer suggests. Cheers chaps!

So simple, it hurts. Something that could be done/improved is a search by code because some links "link in the bio to see the whole video" can become irrelevant if the user sees it months later. A simple search would fix that.

Ah-Maz-ing! I am highly impressed. As a blogger who blogs several times a day, I’ve tried linktree and onuniverse but it has always been a two step process, first upload link to web app then post on Instagram, then tell people to click on a text link in a bio. This not only eliminates those extra steps, it gives visuals! Perfect for Instagram!!!!!! And worth paying (yes I checked the price) great layout and will make my life much much easier. I can’t wait to see the analytics from my posts and can’t wait to post craZy on instagram tomorrow. I already set up my tAP bio and it was super easy!

I've been building apps on Instagram for 6 years and the platform is super limited. Tap.bio gives users, in a very simple way, something they've long needed - the traditions of marketing for themselves - in a super elegant way.

Pros:

Easy to integrate, flexible to use, fast to build

Cons:

More to come

I'm curious to see the marketing insights on which this app was built. How does an overwhelming amount of content help your follower traffic find what they are looking for? This feels like a mini-website rather than a dedicated and focused linking platform. Keen to see some case studies and analytics around follower bounce rates vs people actually clicking a link.

Pros:

More features than you would ever need.

Cons:

It is a convoluted way to link to your content.
