Every time someone taps the link in your bio, they're curious. Most of them leave and never come back. A waitlist on your link-in-bio page catches the ones who are interested but not ready yet, so you can reach them later on launch day.
Why put the waitlist on your bio page
- It's where the traffic already is. People who tap your bio link are your warmest audience.
- One less click. Sending people to a separate landing page loses some of them on the way.
- It works before you have a product. You can start building a list the day you have an idea.
How to add one with Drawr
- Claim your name if you haven't.
- In the editor, open Add block → Email signup.
- Write a label like "Pixelpatch beta", a line about what they get, and the button text, like "Join waitlist".
- Put it near the top, ideally right after your product.
Visitors type their email and tap the button. They see a short thank-you, and nothing else gets in their way. You can see how many people joined in Stats and download everyone as a CSV.
Email signups are part of Drawr Pro, and Pro is free during the beta.
Write it so people actually join
The words matter more than the design. A few rules:
- Say what they get, not what you want. "Get early access and 50% off" beats "Join my mailing list".
- Be specific. "Team plans ship in January" is more convincing than "Coming soon".
- Keep the button short and active. "Join waitlist", "Get early access" or "Notify me".
- Make one promise about email. "One email when it launches. That's it." makes people relax.
Use the list well
- Email them when you said you would. If you promised one launch email, send one.
- Give them something first. Early access, a discount or a founder call makes the list feel worth joining.
- Use launch day. Email the list the morning you launch, and set a launch card on your page to show only that day.
- After launch, switch it to a newsletter. Change the label to "Get updates" and keep collecting.
A quick example
Pixelpatch beta. Team plans are almost here. Get in early, and the first 100 get 3 months free. [Join waitlist]
That's a label, a specific promise and a clear button. It's enough.
