A page is often built in one evening: a name, a photo, every link you own in the order it came to mind, and a quiet hope that someone taps one. That gets a page live. It does not tell you what belongs on it.
\nThis is the slower way, and it is not very slow: seven days, one short job a day. By day seven you have a handle you can keep, up to five picks with a line of your own on each, a plain disclosure, and one decision taken from your own numbers. We will not tell you what it earns. That depends on what you recommend and who is listening.
\nOrder, mostly. Some choices are expensive to change later, like the name people type from memory. Some only make sense after an earlier one: a disclosure needs a bio to live in. Some cannot be judged until real people have seen the page, which is everything on Day 7.
\nEach day has the same shape: the job, wording you can copy, and a line that says when you are done.
\nYour handle is the end of your link, so it is the part of the page you will say out loud. It is 3 to 30 characters of letters, digits, dots and underscores, with no dot at the start or end and no two dots in a row. Some names are reserved and cannot be claimed.
\nChoose it by saying it. If you have to spell it every time, keep looking. You can change it later, but only once every 30 days, and links already pasted keep pointing at the old name, so it is cheaper to get right now.
\nSetup asks only for a display name and a handle, and two of its four steps can be skipped. The choice that matters today is the base:
\nNot sure? Try both on the sample page, which runs the real page and editor and saves nothing. You can switch at any time.
\nDone when: you can say your handle aloud without spelling it, and you have picked a base.
\nThe top of the page answers one question for a stranger: whose taste is this?
\nLeave room in the bio for Day 5: about a hundred of the 240 characters. Then add the social icons row (you can reorder it, and the platforms it supports are named on features): the two or three accounts where people already find you.
\nDone when: someone sees the top of the page for five seconds and can tell you what it is about.
\nFive is enough to feel like a shelf and few enough to write a line about each; fewer is fine if that is all you can defend. Pick things you have used and would stand behind, starting with whatever people have already asked about in your comments. That list exists; you only have to read it.
\nOn your own page, press Add, choose Your own product, and paste the shop's product link. MyBase reads what the product page itself declares and fills only the boxes you left empty, so anything you typed first stays. Some shops cannot be read; then you type the details in. Check every field; it is a starting point, not a proofread.
\nOn the next screen, put your line in the box called Why you swear by it, and your affiliate link in the Affiliate link box. That box is optional: leave it empty for a pick that is not an affiliate link. If the product is already in the Vault, Quick add from the Vault is the one-tap alternative, and Use the Vault and still sound like you covers it.
\nWrite one line per pick, in your own voice. It is the difference between a recommendation and a listing: what you used it for, for how long, and one thing you would change. For example: "Daily use for a year. I would only change the cable length." Write a recommendation people actually believe gives you a structure to reuse.
\nDone when: your picks are on the page, the most-asked-about first, each with a line you wrote.
\nResist turning everything on. The same Add button takes a pasted video, music, TikTok or post link, and can switch a section on. Choose one, by last week's questions: "Where is the video where you fixed it?" means paste that video. Add one at a time, so you can tell which helped.
\nDone when: exactly one new thing is on the page and you can name the question it answers.
\nDisclosure first. If a link could earn you something, say so in plain words near the top, where the visitor decides. Your bio is the top of the page and your own voice, so put it there:
\n"Some links here are affiliate links: if you buy through one, I may earn a commission."
\nThat is 85 characters, which is why Day 2 left room. Rules differ by country and we are not lawyers, so check yours. Our guide to recommending products goes through the detail, and A five-minute disclosure audit for your page gives a sentence for each kind of relationship and says where it goes.
\nThen open the page on your phone, ideally from inside the app your visitors arrive from. Check that:
\nDone when: the disclosure is in your bio and you have seen the page on a phone.
\nThe page has a share button that copies or shares the link, and a QR code for the same address as a PNG or an SVG. Use the link where someone can tap and the QR code where they cannot, like a printed card.
\nStart in one place, so that on Day 7 you know what sent people: the bio of the account where most people find you. Then, next time you post about something on the page, say what is there, not that the page exists: "The lamp, the desk mat and everything else you asked about is on my page. Link in bio."
\nDone when: the link is in one bio and one post points to it.
\nOpen your analytics and choose a range: 7 days, 30 days or all time. Look at two numbers: page opens and product clicks. Page opens count only visitors who accepted analytics cookies, so treat them as a floor. Orders appear in the dashboard of the affiliate program you earn through.
\nThe traffic mix on your dashboard shows where page opens came from over the last 30 days. Read it as a rough guide, not a count. Read your page numbers without fooling yourself explains what each number can and cannot tell you.
\nAfter one day of sharing this is a first read, not a verdict, so read again at 30 days. Pick one row:
\n| What you see | Likely cause | The one change |
|---|---|---|
| Few page opens | Too few people sent, or few accepted analytics cookies | Check the link in your bio opens, then share again where the question gets asked |
| Opens, few clicks | First screen or order is wrong | Move the most-asked-about pick to the top |
| Clicks, nothing bought | The page behind the tap breaks the promise | Open the product page yourself; fix the line or drop the pick |
Make one change, because three at once teach you nothing, and write down what and when. If it changes the look, save the current one first: saved looks let you bring it back later.
\nDone when: you have written down one change and a date to read the numbers again.
\nRehearse Day 1 and the look of Day 2 on the sample page first: the base, the layout of the first screen and the order of sections. It saves nothing. Typing your own name and bio, adding picks, sharing and reading numbers need a page of your own. When you are ready, claim your handle.
\nWhat a page can hold is on features, and what each plan includes is on pricing. For the thinking behind Days 3 and 7, read How to Build a Link in Bio That Converts.
\nNo. Order matters, pace does not. A page you took your time over beats one rushed in an evening.
\nYes, but only once every 30 days, and links to the old handle do not forward to the new one. MyBase keeps the old handle from other people for a while. So settle it before you share the link widely.
\nMost often it is a sharing problem, so check that the link in your bio opens, then put it where the question gets asked. Also remember that page opens count only visitors who accepted analytics cookies, so a quiet week can undercount.
