Pick your one-sheet link before you print it on anything
The Public link field in the one-sheet editor looks like a formality. It is the address every planner, business card, and email signature will use. Here is how the field cleans what you type, what it refuses, and what changing it later does.
•5 min read
Most speakers fill in the one-sheet editor from the bottom up. Bio, stats, testimonials, headshot. The first box on the screen, Your public link, gets whatever the editor suggests and a quick glance.
That is backwards. Every other field on the sheet can be rewritten tonight with no consequences. The link is the one you will print on a business card, paste into proposals, and sign emails with. It is worth two minutes before any of that happens.
The link is /s/ plus whatever you type
Your published one-sheet lives at the Speaker Hub address followed by /s/ and your slug. The editor shows the first part as plain text and gives you a single input for the rest.
If you have never saved a link, the box is prefilled from your name. Treat that as a draft, not an answer. It is a guess, and it is made by the same cleanup rules described next.
The field rewrites what you type
Every keystroke goes through the same cleanup. Letters are lowercased. Any run of characters that is not a letter or number, so spaces, apostrophes, dots, underscores, becomes a single hyphen. Hyphens at the start or end are trimmed. The whole thing is cut at 48 characters.
Two things follow from that.
First, accented letters are not letters as far as the cleanup is concerned. Only a to z and 0 to 9 survive. Type "José Núñez" and you do not get a tidy accented version. You get a link with gaps where the accents were, something like jos-n-ez. If your name has accents, look at what the box produced before you publish, and consider a form that reads cleanly out loud.
Second, you cannot make the link read badly by accident with punctuation. "Dr. Ana Reyes, MBA" collapses to dr-ana-reyes-mba. That is readable, but it is also longer than anyone will say over the phone.
Short and sayable beats clever
The test is whether you could dictate it. A planner's assistant hearing your link on a call has to type it correctly from one hearing.
First name and last name, hyphenated, is the safe default.
Add a topic only if your name is common, and keep it to one word.
Skip years, numbers, and anything that will look dated.
Read it aloud once. If you have to spell any part of it, shorten it.
The editor requires at least 3 letters or numbers, so a one-letter nickname will not publish. Links are also unique across speakers. If yours is taken, publishing returns "That link is taken. Try another." and nothing is saved under it. Common names go quickly, so have a second choice ready.
Typing a link does not publish it
The box and the live page are separate. What you type sits in the editor until you press Publish one-sheet, and only then does the sheet go live at that address.
The Copy and Open buttons next to the box work from what is typed, though. Copy a link before publishing and you can hand someone an address that leads nowhere yet. Publish first, then copy.
The PDF button is built around the same idea. Save and download PDF publishes your edits first, then opens the print view at your link with /print on the end. The PDF therefore cannot disagree with the page your link shows.
Changing it later costs you
Publishing is free. There is no plan gate on the public one-sheet, because it ships with the free Booking Inbox, and inquiries sent from the page land in that inbox.
The cost of a rename is on the outside. The page is found by looking up the slug, and a profile holds one. When you publish a new link, the old one stops pointing at your sheet. Every printed card, old email signature, and proposal footer that carried it is now stale.
Published sheets are also listed in the site's public sitemap, so search engines and AI answer engines can find each speaker's page. A link you keep stable is a link they can keep returning to.
Do this tonight
Open the editor and read your link out loud. If it is a guess the editor made from your name, decide whether you would be happy to see it on a conference badge. Fix it, publish, then copy it.
At least 3 letters or numbers, and no more than 48 characters. Anything past 48 is cut off as you type.
What happens if the link I want is taken?
Publishing fails with the message that the link is taken, and your sheet is not saved under it. Pick another and publish again.
If I change my link, does the old one keep working?
Do not count on it. Each speaker has one link, and the public page is found by looking that link up. Once you publish a new one, the old address has nothing to find.
Under most one-sheet fields sits a collapsed weak-versus-strong pair. Here is which fields have one, what each pair is really teaching, and why you should not paste the strong line as your own.
The one-sheet editor has no crop handles, rotate, or filters. You drag to set the focal point and slide to zoom. Here is what that means for the photo you pick, and what the upload accepts.
Every section in the one-sheet editor has an eye icon, and most speakers never click it. Here is which sections to hide, which two you cannot, and how to decide what stays.
