Using Direct.Me For Easy Navigation To What Matters*

There is no denying there are key benefits to linking all your social media accounts together and doing cross promotion. Heck, even big businesses do it these days by doing giveaways across multiple platforms and sharing exclusive content. But sometimes it can be difficult to have all your points of contact and accounts in one place. Especially when you have to slightly tweak handles due to someone else having what you want. But, there is an answer, someway to make it easier to keep all your links together and means you only need to share one main link, and that is Direct.me.

Direct.Me is an online platform in itself. It’s a platform that helps influencers and businesses promote their online presence. If you’re like me and you monatise your social media and online presence, having one place that has all this information can be so beneficial as you’ll often be asked by brands to share your stats and key information. Unless you have it to hand and regularly update it (which I do recommend even if it can be time consuming) it can take some time and you may end up missing out on a great collaboration. However, by utilising Direct.Me, all you would have to do would be simply share one link and it would have all the information available.

Social media accounts give you very little space to showcase other platforms. Usually you get a place to write a few characters and share one singular link. So if someone goes looking for a way to contact you, they might be disappointed. This is why I’m already using Direct.Me in both my Twitter and my Instagram bios. A click of the link and it brings up all the information I want people to know!

One of the best parts about Direct.Me is it’s so simple to set up, and it’s free! Mine is still a working progress but I have a link to a blog, my Instagram and Twitter accounts and my affiliate link for Swan where you can use LIVVYBIRD20 to get money off some gorgeous home pieces (cheeky plug there!). Today I’m going to add some more connections and I’m going to share with you just how easy it is to do that.

Direct.Me is so now that the website is absolutely fantastic, it’s so responsive and as of yet I haven’t found any bugs or glitches. Because it’s so responsive it makes it easy to use, even for someone who isn’t particularly internet savvy.

Firstly, customising your main Direct.Me page. It’s easy, just click “customise theme” and it brings up the menu. There are loads of different themes to choose from, I decided to go with “Burst” as I love the turquoise gradient. Once you have selected it, you’ll get a menu like the one I’ve shared above. This is where you can personalise it changing the colours, fonts and even the box colours. It gives you a live preview before you save so you don’t make any mistakes you can’t remember how to undo. This is a great feature for me as I change my mind so often.

Then you can add your “items” as they’re called on Direct.Me, they’re basically the boxes of information you want to share with the world, as I mentioned above, these are the ones I’ve chosen to share.

But there are a whole host of options that are easy to include and it gives me a bit of a Myspace feel with the quotes, videos and music. But I know the real reason for them is for content creators to show their best works. Youtubers can link a popular video, quotes are useful to authors. Direct.Me is all about putting your best foot forward for all the world to see.

Not only that, but you can connect to other people you know using the “discover” option which is a great way to find new content that you enjoy consuming, or help promote your friends. I cannot wait to see how Direct.Me grows and I love being a part of it. Why don’t you give me a follow?
