PINCHED Links Is Live: A Free Bio Link for African Creators That Collects Support and Sells Your Tickets

Most African creatives already have a link sitting in their Instagram or X bio, and most of those links do one job: they list other links. On 5th November, PINCHED launched PINCHED Links, a free bio page built to do more. Your link can take direct support from fans, show your event tickets and digital products automatically, and carry your music, socials and work in one clean mobile page. Claiming your handle costs nothing.

What PINCHED Links Is

PINCHED Links turns the link in your bio into an active hub instead of a passive list. Any creator, DJ, filmmaker, musician or brand can claim a handle, and the page lives at staypinched.site/l/yourname. The idea behind it is simple: your bio link should collect money, sell your tickets and showcase your work in one place.

It is free, instant and built for mobile. It is free forever, with no paid tier to unlock buttons or links.

How to Claim Your Handle

Setting up takes about a minute, and the setup page includes a live phone preview of your page as you build it.

1. Go to staypinched.site/links and pick your handle.

2. Add your headline links and social handles.

3. Drop your new link in your bio. Done.

Handles can use letters, numbers, dots and underscores, and must be at least three characters. They are first come, first served, so claim yours before someone else takes it.

What You Can Put on Your Link

A PINCHED Links page can hold your music, social profiles, shop and bookings behind one link. Three features set it apart from a plain list of URLs.

Direct Support From Your Fans

Fans can send you a Pinch, a direct gift of support, right on your page. You get paid in naira, and PINCHED has already explained how fans can give a pinch to support African creators directly. Fans pay through local channels, including local cards and bank transfer, so supporting you does not mean jumping through five hoops.

Tickets and Products That Appear Automatically

If you list an event ticket or a digital product on PINCHED, it appears on your link page automatically. There is no copying and pasting of links, and when you add something new it shows up without extra work. Ticket buyers are not hit with unexpected booking fees, which fits PINCHED's approach that the ticket price should not change at checkout.

A Light Page That Loads Fast on Mobile

Most of your audience will open your link on a phone, often on a slow connection. PINCHED Links is a simple, distraction-free page designed to load quickly on mobile.

What It Means for Event Organisers

Event organisers can drop their PINCHED link into flyers and posts, and attendees can buy tickets, pick up merch and read the stories behind the event in one tap. That makes the link a single doorway for everything an event needs, from the first flyer to the last ticket sale.

Why a Bio Link Should Do More Than List Links

Many bio-link tools were built around US creators and US payment accounts, which can leave fans in Lagos, Abuja or Accra without an easy way to support you. PINCHED has set out how the main link-in-bio tools compare for African creators, including what they cost and which countries they pay out to. If you earn from more than one place, how African creators mix their income is a good place to see where a link page fits.

Every visitor to a creator's PINCHED Links page also sees an invitation to claim their own free handle, so the best way to spread it is to put your link where people already look.
