Link in Bio for Food Creators: What to Include
A food creator's link in bio should include a recipe e-book with a checkout, a free recipe card that collects an email, a bookable cooking class or meal-plan consult, and a row for the recipe people are asking about this week. Food audiences are impatient; they saw a dish and want the recipe now. Food creators on Viralyze put the recipe behind a keyword as well as on the bio page, so commenters get it by DM and profile visitors find it in one tap.
What do food creators actually sell?
Food creators sell recipes in bundles, classes, and plans. The bio page should show prices and portion counts so the visitor knows what they are getting.
A product set for a home baker who teaches on reels:
- Free: Eggless Chocolate Cake recipe card, PDF (email required)
- E-book: 30 Eggless Bakes, ₹349
- Live class: Sourdough from scratch, 2 hours on Google Meet, ₹899
- 1:1 consult: Fix my bake, 30 minutes, ₹499, add-on written troubleshooting notes ₹200
The e-book and the free card are products; the class and the consult sit on a booking page with a service menu where add-ons combine automatically. Checkout pages charge 0% platform fee.
Should recipes be free or paid on the bio page?
Both, with a clear line between them. The single recipe from this week's reel is free and collects an email; the collection is paid. That split respects the viewer who only wants one recipe and rewards the one who wants your whole method.
Long recipes work well as PDFs. In Viralyze a long DM becomes a downloadable PDF automatically, with open tracking, so you can see whether the recipe was actually opened.
Three Auto-DM keywords for a food creator
The comment section under a recipe reel is where the sale happens, and keywords mean you do not have to copy-paste the same recipe two hundred times.
1. "RECIPE" on any reel, using the any-post trigger, sending the free recipe card for that week and collecting an email. 2. "EBOOK" on a reel showing five bakes in 30 seconds, sending the e-book checkout. 3. "CLASS" on a reel of a sourdough crumb shot, sending the class booking page.
Hinglish works too. A comment like "glaze recipe bhejo" matches a keyword set to "glaze recipe", and the DM can go out in Hinglish to match.
A sample DM for the recipe card
"Hi! Thanks for commenting RECIPE. Here is the eggless chocolate cake card with gram measurements and the oven settings I used in the reel. Download it here: shre.pro/yourname. If you bake it, tag me, I repost every weekend."
Because the reply collects an email, every person who takes the card becomes a contact tagged with the reel it came from. When the e-book launches, you know exactly who already bakes your recipes.
How often should a food creator change the bio page?
Weekly, matching the recipe you posted. Keep the top row as "This week: [dish] recipe" and update the destination to the new card each Monday. The e-book, class and consult rows stay fixed below it.
Tap counts will show whether the weekly recipe or the e-book gets more attention. If the e-book row is ignored, change its text from "30 Eggless Bakes" to something like "All 30 recipes from my reels, ₹349" and watch the count again.
Frequently asked questions
**Can I use one keyword across all my reels instead of setting it per post?** Yes. The any-post trigger lets "RECIPE" work on every reel, and you can still use a post-specific keyword for a launch.
**How do people get the e-book after paying?** The checkout page delivers the digital download immediately after UPI or card payment, with no manual sending.
**Can students join a live class without a Google account?** The booking confirmation includes a Google Meet link that opens in a browser; the client is invited to the calendar event as well.
