Anthony Zaccaria, co-founder and COO of Linktree, said: “Every year we’re blown away by how many Linkers, our users, are harnessing the power of Linktree. We’ve become so much more than just a “link-in-bio” tool with now over 30 million people using our platform to link to everything they are.
 
“From small-to-medium business owners, artists, creators, influencers, athletes and brands, Linktree is used in so many unique ways and each user’s Linktree is truly their own.
 
“The data reveals the creator economy is thriving as users build deeper connections with their audiences, diversify what they link to and how they monetise their craft. With cost of living top of mind for many, we’re seeing more creators looking for new ways to expand their revenue streams as well.
 
“Whether it was a link to a travel guide, a restaurant menu or using our new TikTok integration, Linktree encourages self-expression, discovery, and growth. Linktree is a platform where anyone can truly link, and direct visitors, to everything they care about. We’re excited to see what everyone links to in 2023!”
