No Website? No Problem. I Built a Scrappy Writer Portfolio on Linktree at 2AM (and You Can Too)
If you’re a content writer who’s been meaning to build a professional portfolio for, oh, the past year (or two), this one’s for you.
Maybe you don’t have time to set up a full website. Maybe you don’t want to fiddle with WordPress themes at 2 a.m. Or maybe, just maybe, you want something simple that still looks good.
Enter: Linktree.
Yes, the same Linktree that influencers and TikTokers use to share their “link in bio” can actually be an amazing portfolio tool for writers too. And honestly? It’s criminally underrated.
Let’s walk through how you can use Linktree to build your own writer’s portfolio in less than an afternoon — no coding, no crying.
Step 1: Create a Free Linktree Account
Go to linktr.ee and sign up. You can start with the free version (plenty for a basic portfolio), but if you want fancier features like custom branding, analytics, or prettier button designs, there’s a paid version too.
Pro tip: Pick a username that’s simple and professional — ideally your name or something like yournamewrites.
