How to Migrate From Beacons to UniLink (Move Your Page and Audience Over)

A step-by-step guide to rebuilding your Beacons link-in-bio on UniLink, transferring your email list, and unlocking monetization features your old platform could not offer.

Switching link-in-bio platforms does not have to be painful. If you have been using Beacons and are ready for a platform that combines your link page, email list, shop, analytics, and social media scheduling in one place, UniLink is designed for exactly that transition. This guide walks you through every step so nothing gets lost in the move.

Before you start, keep your Beacons page live until your UniLink page is fully set up. Running both in parallel for a day or two gives you time to verify everything looks right before you flip the switch. You will not lose subscribers or revenue during this window.

What This Migration Covers

Moving from Beacons to UniLink involves four main areas: your page content and design, your email subscriber list, your monetization setup, and your bio link across social platforms. Each area has a clear process, and you can tackle them in any order that suits your workflow.

Beacons organizes your page as a series of blocks — links, media, forms, and payment widgets. UniLink uses the same block-based approach, so the mental model transfers directly. You will find equivalent blocks for everything Beacons offers, plus additional block types for things like countdown timers, course modules, and branded storefronts.

Your email list is the most valuable asset to protect. Beacons lets you export subscribers as a CSV, and UniLink's Audience section accepts that CSV with a standard column mapping. The import is straightforward and preserves names, emails, and any tags you have assigned.

How to Get Started

1. Screenshot your Beacons page — open your live Beacons page in a browser, take a full-page screenshot or scroll through and capture each section. This becomes your visual reference during the rebuild so you do not miss any links or blocks.
2. Note your Beacons URL — write down your current Beacons link (e.g., beacons.ai/yourname). You will redirect this to your UniLink URL at the end of the process.
3. Create your UniLink account — sign up at unil.ink/signup, choose your username (ideally the same as your Beacons handle for consistency), and complete the onboarding steps.
4. Export your Beacons email list — in Beacons, go to Audience or Email, find the export option, and download your subscribers as a CSV. Keep this file handy for the import step.
5. Gather your assets — download your profile photo, banner images, and any digital products or media files hosted on Beacons that you want to carry over to UniLink.
6. Open UniLink's editor — from your UniLink dashboard, click Edit Page. You are now ready to start rebuilding your page block by block.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set up your profile header — in the UniLink editor, upload your profile photo, enter your display name, and add your bio text. Match your Beacons header exactly so returning visitors recognize your page immediately.
2. Recreate your link blocks — for each link on your Beacons page, add a Link block in UniLink. Paste the URL, write the button label, and optionally set a thumbnail image. Drag blocks to match your original order.
3. Add media and embedded content — if your Beacons page included a YouTube video, podcast player, or embedded content, find the equivalent embed or media block in UniLink and configure it with the same source URL.
4. Set up your shop (if applicable) — if you sold products or digital files on Beacons, open UniLink's Shop section, create your products, upload your digital files, set prices, and connect Stripe for payouts. Your shop is live as soon as you publish.
5. Import your email subscribers — go to Settings → Audience → Import, upload the CSV you exported from Beacons, map the columns (email, first name, last name, tags), preview the import, and confirm. Your list appears in UniLink Audience within a few minutes.
6. Update your bio links — on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and any other platforms where you have your Beacons link in your bio, replace it with your UniLink URL (e.g., unil.ink/yourname).
7. Redirect your Beacons page — in Beacons, add a single link at the top of your page labeled something like "I've moved! Visit my new page" pointing to your UniLink URL. This captures any traffic that still lands on your Beacons page and sends visitors to your new home.

Key Settings Explained

How to Get the Most Out of It

Beacons is a solid entry-level link-in-bio tool, but its monetization options are limited and its analytics do not go deep. UniLink's analytics dashboard shows you which links get the most clicks, where your traffic comes from geographically, and how your page converts visitors to email subscribers over time. Spend a few minutes exploring the Analytics section after you go live — the data will inform how you arrange your blocks.

One of the biggest differences you will notice is UniLink's Social Planner. You can schedule and publish content directly to Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms without leaving UniLink. If you have been juggling Beacons with a separate scheduling tool, this consolidation saves you meaningful time each week.

UniLink's email automation capabilities also go well beyond what Beacons offers. Once your subscribers are imported, you can set up welcome sequences, tag-based segmentation, and automated follow-up messages triggered by link clicks or purchases. Start with a simple welcome email to re-introduce yourself to your list in the context of your new platform.

If you sold anything on Beacons — paid newsletters, digital downloads, coaching calls — recreate those products in UniLink and update any existing links or email funnels to point to the new product pages. UniLink's Shop block supports one-time purchases, subscriptions, and free downloads, so the full range of Beacons monetization transfers cleanly.
