Both help you share links. They solve different problems.
Link in bio
Pros: always available, good for a general hub, shows all your offers. Cons: viewers must leave the reel, find your profile, and choose among many links.
Auto DM
Pros: delivers the exact link to the person who asked, captures a lead, and can ask for a follow first. Cons: needs a clear keyword call to action and a connected tool.
Use both
- Auto DM for the specific resource in a reel
- Link in bio for your overall storefront
Orange Flow includes a link-in-bio store for digital products, affiliate links, socials, coaching and lead magnets, alongside auto DM.
Which should you start with?
If you post reels with specific resources, start with auto DM. Then add a storefront for everything else.
