Link in Bio for Video Series: Where Parts 2 to 5 Should Live
Posting multi-part reels? Learn where to host the rest of a video series, what a link in bio for series needs, and how to use free teaser parts well.
On this page
A link in bio for a video series gives followers one place to watch every part in order after they see Part 1 on Instagram or YouTube Shorts. Instead of hunting through your profile grid for Part 3, they tap your bio link, open the series and keep watching, with each part playing the next. It works best when every part has its own link, the series is easy to find on your page and any products mentioned in a part are one tap away. This guide covers what the setup needs and how to run a series well.
Key takeaways
- Multi-part reels are popular, but finding later parts in a profile grid is awkward for followers.
- A series page in your bio keeps every part in order and lets followers binge.
- Each part should have its own link so you can send people straight to Part 3.
- Free teaser parts can lead into members-only parts if you run a membership.
- Track plays per part to see where viewers drop off.
Why followers lose later parts
"Part 2 is on my profile" sounds simple. In practice, your grid fills up with other posts, parts get separated, and a follower who finds Part 1 weeks later may give up before finding Part 4. Pinned posts and highlights help a little, but they hold only so much.
A dedicated series in your link in bio solves this. Part 1 does its job on the platform, where reach is, and your page holds the rest in order.
What a series setup needs
Upload or link the parts
You should be able to upload video files or link to videos you have already posted on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo or Loom, whichever is easier for each part.
Play in order
When one part ends, the next should start. That keeps viewers watching without going back to a menu.
A link for every part
If a comment asks "where's Part 3?", you want to reply with a link that opens Part 3, not the start of the series.
Products for each part
If a part shows products, they should sit right beside it. A follower shouldn't have to search for them separately.
Free and locked parts, if you want them
If you run a membership, you may want Parts 1 and 2 free and the rest for members. The free parts become a preview of what members get.
Numbers on plays
Plays per part show where people stop watching. If most viewers drop after Part 2, that part may need a stronger ending.
How to plan a series that people finish
| Step | What to do | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Hook in Part 1 | Post your strongest part on Instagram with "Part 2 in my bio" | Reach comes from the platform |
| 2. Short parts | Keep each part focused on one idea | Easier to finish, easier to share |
| 3. Cliffhanger endings | End each part with a reason to watch the next | Auto-play does the rest |
| 4. Clear titles | Name each part by what it covers | Viewers can jump to what they need |
| 5. Check plays | Look at plays per part after a week | Fix the part where people stop |

Using teaser parts with a membership
A series is a natural way to show what members get. Keep the first part or two free so anyone can start, then lock later parts for members. Be clear on the page about what is locked and why. A follower who has watched two good parts already knows the value of the rest.
Don't lock everything. Free parts are what bring new people in. Our guide to Patreon alternatives for Indian creators covers how memberships fit into a creator's income.
How QKAP reel series work
On QKAP, reel series let you post Part 1 on Instagram and keep the rest on your page. You can upload MP4, WebM or MOV videos up to 100 MB each (2 GB in total), or paste YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Vimeo or Loom links. Each part plays the next automatically, every part has its own link, and you can link a post to a part so its products are one tap away.
You can create up to 30 series with up to 30 parts each, and they appear together on your page. Your dashboard shows views per series and plays per part. If you run memberships, you choose how many parts stay free, and members of your plans unlock the rest when they log in. Locking parts for members is a Premium feature, as is HD 1080p playback for uploaded videos; free pages play them in compressed 720p. The page layout builder lets you place your series section where you want it on the page.
Because QKAP also mirrors your reels as numbered posts, you can say "Part 2 in my bio" for a series and "it's #23 in my bio" for products, both pointing to the same page.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I post Part 2 of a reel?
You can post every part on Instagram, but many creators post Part 1 there for reach and keep later parts on their link-in-bio page so followers can watch them in order.
Can I lock later parts of a series for paying members?
On tools that support it, yes. On QKAP, you choose how many parts stay free and members unlock the rest when they log in.
Should I upload videos or link to them?
Link to videos you have already posted publicly, and upload parts that you don't want to post elsewhere, such as members-only parts.
How long should each part be?
Long enough to deliver one idea and short enough to finish. Check plays per part and adjust based on where viewers stop.
A series turns one strong reel into a reason to visit your page. If you want somewhere for Parts 2 to 5 to live, create your free QKAP page and set up your first series.
