Bio box

We recommend pasting your signup form link in the Bio box, where you can add text inviting your followers to subscribe to your content.

Website box

To paste your signup form here, you will have to shorten your signup form’s URL. This is because the website field only allows you up to 100 characters. Your signup form link may have more than 100 characters. You can not add text to invite your followers to subscribe in the website box. Additionally, you will have to use an external service to shorten the signup form’s URL.

Here is a preview of how the signup form will appear in your Twitter profile:
