Scheduled links — let your link page run a content calendar

When I started in growth, the boring secret was always: consistency beats brilliance. The creator who shows up every Tuesday with something half-decent outperforms the creator who ships a banger once a quarter. That's not just true of social posts. It's also true of your link page.

If your hero link never changes, your returning visitors stop bothering to check it. If it changes weekly, you've trained them to look. Scheduled links let you bank that consistency in advance — stage four weeks of hero rotations on Sunday afternoon, walk away, your page runs itself like a feed scheduler for the rest of the month.

What you're scheduling

Every link on your page can carry a `goLiveAt` and `expiresAt`. Stack them up in advance and the page becomes a stateful timeline:

• Week 1 hero: 'Pre-order the new book' — live Monday → Sunday
• Week 2 hero: 'New podcast episode out now' — live Monday → Sunday
• Week 3 hero: 'Free recipe pack signup' — live Monday → Sunday
• Week 4 hero: 'Book a 1:1 strategy session' — live Monday → Sunday

Each one occupies the same hero slot. As one expires, the next appears. Your page never goes stale. You never log in to swap.

Why scheduling beats 'edit when I remember'

Three reasons, in rough order of how often I see them bite people:

1. 1Cognitive load. Every 'remember to update the bio link Monday' lives rent-free in your head until you do it. Scheduling pays the rent.
2. 2Timezone embarrassment. You wake up to your launch dropping at 9am — you're in Madrid, the campaign is supposed to go live at 9am EST. Now your hero is wrong for the first six hours of the launch. Scheduled go-live handles this automatically because it's a timestamp, not a 'when I get to my laptop'.
3. 3Vacation. The most expensive bug in any solo operation is being unable to take a real vacation. Scheduled links let your page run for a month while you're hiking somewhere with no signal.

Edit, override, emergency stop

Scheduled links are not a black-box queue. They live in your editor as a stack of pending links you can re-order, edit copy on, or yank entirely. If you stage a 'tour dates' link three weeks out and then tour dates change, you edit the still-pending link. The change is reflected when it eventually goes live.

Need to kill a campaign before its scheduled expiry? One toggle pauses any scheduled link without deleting it — useful if a launch gets delayed or a sponsor's campaign gets bumped.

Patterns we've watched work

• Weekly hero rotation. Plan four weeks at a time, schedule on the last Sunday of the month.
• Drop preview window. Schedule a teaser hero 7 days before launch, a launch hero on launch day, a sold-out / next-batch hero starting 24 hours later.
• Seasonal calendar. Pre-stage your December campaign in early November. Same for Black Friday, Valentine's Day, etc.
• Sponsorship handoff. Sponsor A is week 1, Sponsor B is week 2. Schedule both, send the link to both sponsors, no manual swap needed.
• Tour leg. Each city's pre-order hero goes live 14 days before that show and expires the morning of the show.

What it costs you

Scheduled links are part of the Grow plan ($9/mo). Worth it the first time you let your page run during a vacation and come back to a clean inbox instead of a 'why's your bio still pointing to the old drop' DM.

Queue one this Sunday

Easiest first practice: every Sunday afternoon, queue one hero link for each of the next 4 weeks. 10 minutes of work. Your page is now on autopilot for the next month. Repeat next Sunday. Within a quarter you have a rolling calendar you can lean on through any launch, vacation, or busy season.
