A one-stop hub for your audience to find your content and products
That's what the Creator Profile is. It features a bio of who you are, plus a collection of your posts, products, and links on one neat page. It also has a form for users to subscribe to your email list.
To see what a Creator Profile looks like live, check out ConvertKit's Creator Profile!
You can access the Creator Profile builder by clicking Grow in the top navigation in ConvertKit, followed by Creator Profile.
Generally, you'll use the customization settings on the right to edit your Creator Profile, and preview the changes to your Creator Profile on the left.
So, let's look at how you can customize your Creator Profile and share it when you're done.
NOTE: We auto-save the changes you make to your Creator Profile, but you'll need to click the Publish button to apply them to your live Creator Profile.
Customizing your Creator Profile
Profile introduction and email form
Click any of these in your Creator Profile introduction to change them:
Creator business name
Bio
Profile photo
Name or byline (optional)
Email form's button text
For example, to customize your bio, click it and type away. Click anywhere outside the bio and we'll save your changes.
Design & template
Click Design & Template in the right sidebar to customize your Creator Profile's:

Fonts (i.e., heading and body font and font weight)
Navigation menu
The navigation menu helps users navigate to your Creator Profile's Posts, Recommendations, Products, and Links pages (if you have these enabled).
Here's how the navigation menu looks if you're using the Hudson template for your Creator Profile:
Click Navigation Menu in the right sidebar to customize the order of these pages in your Creator Profile's navigation menu.
Just drag and drop the pages in your preferred order.
Newsletter posts
The Posts page displays your public Broadcasts—both free and paid. Paid posts will have a padlock icon to indicate that only paid subscribers can read them.
Click Newsletter Posts in the right sidebar to customize these settings:
Show Newsletter Posts: Enable (or disable) the Posts page on your Creator Profile.
Featured post: Select whether your Creator Profile should feature your newest public post or a specific public post of your choice. You can make your posts public using the Public posts setting further down in the sidebar.
Post visibility: Select whether anyone can read your (free) public posts or whether they'll need to have subscribed to your email list first. If you limit post access to just your subscribers, everyone who clicks your posts will see a preview of them and subscribers can log in to continue reading.
Public posts: Select the Broadcasts you want to display on your Creator Profile.
Newsletter product: Select the paid newsletter product users will need to be subscribed to before they can read your paid posts.
You can also click Write new post to start a new Broadcast. The new Broadcast will appear on your Creator Profile after you've made it publicly available and published it.
Products
The Products page displays your ConvertKit Commerce products.
To enable (or disable) the Products page on your Creator Profile, click Products in the right sidebar, then toggle the Show Commerce products setting.
You can also select the products you want to display on the Products page.
Recommendations
The Recommendations page displays the creators that you recommend your subscribers check out (and subscribe to as well).
NOTE: You will need to have joined the Creator Network before you can recommend creators.
To enable (or disable) the Recommendations page on your Creator Profile, click Recommendations in the right sidebar, then toggle the Show Recommendations setting.
If you want to change your recommended creators, you can do so from your Creator Network settings.
Links
The Links page displays links to your different platforms, like your blog or social media accounts.
Click Links in the right sidebar to:
Show Links: Enable (or disable) the Links page on your Creator Profile.
Add links: Click + Add new link to add a new link to the Links page.
Edit links: Click the pencil icon next to a link to edit its label, URL, and icon.
Reorder your links: Drag and drop the links in your preferred order.
Delete links: Click the trash can next to a link to delete it.
Change your links' colors: Change your links' background color, text color, icon color, and so on.
Show or hide the link URL: Use the Show URL toggle to show (or hide) your links' URLs from the Links page. (Your links' labels will still be visible.)
Domain name
Click Domain Name in the right sidebar to select the domain name you want to use for your Creator Profile URL.
By default, your Creator Profile URL will use the account domain we assign to you, such as accountdomain.ck.page. But you can change it to use a custom domain such as mycreatorbusiness.com.
NOTE: If you want to use a custom domain for your Creator Profile URL, you'll need to add the custom domain to your ConvertKit account first.
SEO
The SEO settings in the right sidebar help you customize your Creator Profile's appearance on search engine results pages and social media platforms.
You can customize your Creator Profile's:

Description
Social share image: We automatically generate a default image of your Creator Profile that will appear when you share it on your socials. The default image will automatically update to match the changes you make to your Creator Profile. You can click Change image to replace our default social share image with your own. We recommend that your image have a 16:9 aspect ratio. (An image dimension of 1,200 x 675 px will work great!)
