New Delhi, June 9: Linktree – the link-in-bio category creator – is announcing the launch of the Linktree Marketplace (“Marketplace”), the new one-stop directory for partner Link Apps and integrations. The marketplace is designed to enhance the user experience by driving exposure to Linktree’s extensive partnership network to users and visitors with the breadth of digital experiences and services in a singular destination. Linktree’s Link Apps and beta integration partners at launch include Audiomack, Bandsintown, Cameo, Community, Gleam, GoFundMe, OpenSea, PayPal, Venmo, and Reddit, SoundCloud, Spring, Square, Typeform and more.
As the digital landscape becomes increasingly complex to navigate, Linktree recognizes that connecting users to a robust partnership and integration network is key to their success. For users, the new partner directory can be found in the Explore Menu in-product and externally on the Linktree website, with more than 30 Link Apps and integrations with third parties accessible in one place. Marketplace provides a mutually beneficial model with visitors to Linktree now able to watch, listen, shop and more in one place. The marketplace, in turn, provides the return of views, streams, donations, bookings, purchases and more for creators. With existing partners across commerce, social media, gaming, music and finance, the launch of the marketplace also comes with the addition of four new Linktree partners, including Cameo, Gleam, Typeform and Reddit.
Creators and businesses online use many platforms, leading to increased fragmentation of creators’ online identity, audiences, content and traffic. This is signalled strongly by creator behaviours, with Linktree reporting its creators link out to an average of 9 different platforms. Link Apps help unify a creator’s digital presence and enable them to share anything from anywhere, all in one place, leading to greater discovery and engagement with their entire offering.
Alex Zaccaria, co-founder and CEO of Linktree, shared: “We are always looking for innovative and category-leading ways to reinvent the ‘link-in-bio’ offering. The expansion of our platform to create the Linktree Marketplace is the latest update that speaks to the ever-evolving needs of the creator. It is an incredibly exciting time for us as we continue to expand our roster of partnerships with other brilliant creator tools, which broaden and strengthen the power of Linktree for creators.”
On the launch of Marketplace, the CEO of Spring, Chris Lamontagne, says, “A core part of Spring’s mission is to provide cutting edge integrations to enable our creators to reach further and monetize their audiences. Since launching our first-of-its-kind e-commerce integration with Linktree last year, we’ve seen the platform become one of our top referring traffic sources for creators in Spring. Traffic to Spring referred by Linktree has grown +53%, and revenue driven by Linktree has increased by +68%since we launched with them in 2021. We’re excited to serve even more creators now through the Linktree Marketplace.”
The Linktree Marketplace is Linktree’s first step in opening up its platform to developers: Linktree has been privately refining its developer tools in collaboration with premier beta partners and is preparing to invite more developers to build their Link Apps and integrations to reach and serve Linktree’s 25M+ creators. They together receive more than 1 billion visits a month. Interested developers can submit their interest within the Linktree Marketplace.
Following Linktree’s recent USD 110M raise, the business has focused on introducing new revenue streams and creating additional value for creators and brands, including the launch of the new Web3 NFT platform features in partnership with Opensea and music & entertainment focused integrations with Audiomack, Community, BandsInTown, and Soundcloud.
The platform also recently unveiled a design rebrand, further signifying the brand’s ambition of empowering creators across the globe to tell their stories better by creating a platform that encompasses many facets of an individual’s digital universe. In this home, creators can indeed link to everything they are.
