But it’s also a useful tool for people who want to grow their business or get the word out about their products. TikTok has strict rules against posting links, which is a shame.

This solution is perfect for TikTok because you can add your Website, Amazon Storefront, and any other URLs where you want to send traffic. Your LinkTree can also be shared on Instagram or Twitter.
