01. Why the bio link matters more now
Authors used to share a fresh book link with every post. With Meta tightening how many link posts free Pages can publish each month, that habit is getting expensive or impossible. The practical answer is the one link you always control: your bio. One page that holds every retailer, your newsletter signup, and your event dates, so a reader who discovers you on any given Tuesday can still find your books on Wednesday.
02. What goes on an author's page
- Retailer links: your book on Amazon, Bookshop, Barnes & Noble, your local indie, wherever readers actually buy
- Newsletter signup link: the list you own, one tap away from every social profile
- Event dates: readings, signings, festival appearances, link to the event page or your own schedule
- Press and extras: interviews, reviews, your website, your agent or contact info
These are links to pages you already have. CWAXX doesn't host your store or your newsletter; it puts everything one tap away in a page that looks like you.
03. Know which retailer gets tapped
Here's the part most link pages charge for: CWAXX free includes clicks per link, so you can see whether readers tap Amazon or Bookshop more. Referrer sources show whether the traffic came from Instagram, TikTok, or your newsletter itself. Countries and cities tell you where your readers are. All of it free, on the plan that costs nothing, because knowing which store sells your book shouldn't be a paid feature.

05. FAQ
01Is CWAXX really free?
Yes. The free plan gives you up to 10 links, your bio, and social links, plus clicks per link, referrers, countries and cities, and device analytics. No credit card, no trial that expires. Premium ($4.99/month US, CA$5.99/month Canada) adds unlimited links, custom themes, and CSV export.
02I sell through Amazon and Bookshop. Does CWAXX take a cut?
No. Your retailer links are just links to your existing pages, CWAXX never touches the sale, takes no commission, and doesn't change where readers buy. It only shows you which retailer link gets tapped.
03Can I switch my links for pre-orders and events?
Yes. Edit your links anytime from settings: point at the pre-order page while the book launches, swap in event dates during tour season. Nothing breaks when you change a link.
04Can I import my existing Linktree?
Yes. Paste your Linktree URL and CWAXX imports your links in one click. Your existing links stay, duplicates are skipped.
