# Create a link

To create a link, press the **Create link** button in the sidebar of your dashboard. You'll then see the link creation studio. From this menu, you can customize and configure your link.

You only need a title and your destination URL to create a link. If you're looking for more, scroll down to the bottom and press **More options** to open the rest of the settings that are currently available.

Every LinkGate link has two types of tasks: monetization tasks and social tasks.

Monetization tasks are the tasks that make you money. You can't select them or change them. LinkGate runs a complex routing system that shows each viewer their own set of tasks, built to bring in as much revenue and as many conversions as possible for every visitor.

Social tasks are the ones you control. You add them in the **Social tasks** field. They're for actions you want the viewer to take, such as subscribing to your channel or commenting on a video. Adding them means the viewer is shown more tasks, which usually lowers conversions a little, because some people leave when the list gets longer. Viewers are typically shown two or three monetization tasks, so add social tasks carefully and find the balance that works for you.
