Link in bio for fitness creators

For fitness creators: link supplements, equipment and programs, disclose properly, answer repeat questions from your videos, and see which video earned.

Updated

Fitness creators earn from three kinds of things: supplements, equipment and programs, and each gets the same questions in every comment section. "What protein is that?" "What rack do you use?" "Is that the same band from last month?" A good link in bio answers those in one tap, tells you which videos actually sell, and keeps your disclosures and claims on the right side of the rules.

Why fitness is different

Fitness audiences are loyal and ask a lot of questions, which is good for affiliate income. But the money is split in ways that are easy to misread:

  • Supplements are cheap, repeat purchases. Commissions per sale are small, but they add up.
  • Equipment sells less often at a higher price. One home-gym video can out-earn a month of supplement mentions.
  • Discount codes are popular with brands but hard to attribute. A code that ends up on a coupon site earns you sales from people who never watched you.

If you only look at clicks, supplement videos look like the winners. Earnings per click often tells a different story.

Setting up a workout video

On camera

Give each video a word, like vyrl.at/yourname/legday, and say it near the start and again at the end. Say product names as you use them: "This is [brand] whey, vanilla." Clear names help viewers and put the product in your transcript, which the assistant below relies on.

Disclose on camera. The FTC says a video endorsement needs its disclosure in the video, not only in the description (FTC: Disclosures 101). Free products from a brand count too. See affiliate disclosure for videos.

In the description

Lead with the video address, then the gear in the order it appears:

Gear from this workout: vyrl.at/yourname/legday
Rack: [brand, model]
Bands: [brand, set]
Pre-workout: [brand, flavor]

On your page

Name links as you say them on camera, flavor or weight included. Group equipment and supplements so people don't scroll past ten tubs of protein to find a barbell.

In your bio

Use a share link per place, such as vyrl.at/yourname/yt and vyrl.at/yourname/ig. Words and share links combine, so vyrl.at/yourname/legday/ig credits both the video and the place.

Share only Vyrl addresses, never a network's raw link. A raw link skips Vyrl, so the sale can't be matched to a click or a video.

Codes and links together

Many brands give you both a code and a link. Vyrl credits sales to videos through clicks: it adds the network's sub ID with its own click ID, and the network sends it back with the sale. A purchase where someone typed your code without clicking a Vyrl link can't be matched to a video. It still shows in the brand's or network's report.

A practical approach: say the code on camera if the brand requires it, but point people to your page for the link. Then compare what your links earn per video with the code totals the brand reports.

Claims and supplements

Health claims are where fitness content most often gets into trouble. The FTC's guidance for influencers says you can't talk about your experience with a product you haven't tried. It also says you can't make claims that would require proof the advertiser doesn't have, such as scientific proof that a product treats a health condition. Stick to what you used and what you noticed.

Answering repeat questions

The "Ask me" assistant on your page answers fan questions from your own video transcripts. "What pre-workout do you use?" gets the product you named, a link to the moment in the video and a product link, but only for products you've confirmed, with your affiliate disclosure. It never invents products, prices or specifications.

It is careful with personal results. When something worked for you because of your size, budget or training level, it says what you tried and your own details rather than telling the fan it will work for them. If you haven't covered a question, it says so instead of guessing.

What you'll see

The dashboard shows commission and earnings per click (EPC) by video, by link and by place. For example, a supplement stack video with 800 clicks and $40 in commission earns $0.05 per click. A home-gym setup video with 200 clicks and $120 earns $0.60. There's a live click feed and a daily email with the previous day's revenue.

Sales come back by postback from Impact, CJ, Awin and Everflow, and from Amazon when you upload its Earnings report. Setup guides: Impact, CJ, Awin, Everflow, Amazon.

What Vyrl doesn't do

  • It doesn't sell your own training programs or meal plans with a checkout. Link to the place you sell them. If that's most of your income, see how Vyrl compares to Stan Store.
  • It doesn't track code-only sales or replace your network's reporting. Networks and brands approve sales and pay you.
  • For networks other than those above, Vyrl counts clicks per video, but sales stay in that network's dashboard.
  • The assistant doesn't give training or nutrition advice. It only repeats what you said in your videos.

Pricing

Free forever for one page, unlimited links and click analytics by link and source. Revenue per video, postbacks, the AI assistant and the daily revenue email are on the Creator plan: $4/month, or $3.20/month billed yearly in the US, and less in many countries. You keep 100% of your commission. See pricing.

Questions

What should a fitness creator put in their link in bio?

The equipment and supplements you actually use, named the way you name them on camera, plus wherever you sell your own program. Group links by video or by goal so people find the one item they came for.

Do discount codes or affiliate links track better?

Links can be tied to a specific click and video. Codes are easy to say out loud but often get shared on coupon sites, so a code sale may not come from your audience at all. Many creators use both and compare.

What can fitness creators say about supplements?

Talk about your own experience with products you have actually used. The FTC says you can't make claims that would need proof the advertiser doesn't have, such as that a product treats a health condition.

How do I stop answering the same questions in comments?

Say product names clearly in your videos and keep a page that lists them. An assistant that answers from your own transcripts can then handle the repeats and point to the moment in the video.
