Often, many content creators work very hard on their YouTube videos. They brainstorm ideas, take considerable time to record, edit and optimize their content, add tags, and well-crafted video descriptions as well. In all of this, they often two very important things which the YouTube Bio and the Channel Description.
As the name suggests, the Channel Description should communicate to your potential viewers what your content will cover and the issues that will be tackled while the Biography is the personal information about what you wish to display like your Name, Email address, Location and most important links to your Social Media profiles and other Websites.
There are a number of free websites that you can use to make visually appealing Personal Pages with a customized URL that can contain your social links, website URLs, photos / videos and more.

2. YouTube.bio
This is yet another decent website to create social links for your YouTube bio. Just check your username availability and claim it. Your personal URL page will be in the form youtube.bio/<username>. You will now be navigated to an interface from where you can create the links. Click on ‘Add Link’ and then specify the ‘Title’ of the link and paste the URL. You can use the toggle switch below the URL to enable / disable the display of this link in your personal URL page.

Finally copy your personal URL that is displayed at the top right of the page and use it in your YouTube bio. All in all, I found this website okay but very limited in the number of options it provides in the free version. Unlike the previous website, you cannot customize the style and theme of the page unless you upgrade to the paid version.
