Link in Bio: Drive Traffic and Revenue from Instagram
Instagram only gives you one clickable link in the app, and it’s the link in your bio. We want to help you turn that link into more visits, signups, conversions, and revenue for your business! With Link in Bio, you can now add links to any of the Instagram posts you’ve published through , which helps direct your Instagram audience to the right content or products on your site. You can also link to multiple websites and pages, all without changing the link in your bio.
Benefits of Linkin.bio:
-
Increase traffic, signups, conversions, and revenue from your Instagram account
-
Direct your Instagram audience to the right product or content from your Instagram posts
-
Track the value and traffic from each Instagram post using Bit.ly or Google Analytics (UTM Tags)
-
Strengthen relationships by linking long-term to partner and collaborator sites
Linkin.bio is a web and mobile-optimized landing page that resembles your Instagram feed, and clicking on a photo will take you to a specific URL. If you’re a retail store, you could add the link to buy a specific product to your Instagram post. When people click the link in your bio, they’ll then be able to browse all your products and shop your feed! Or, if you’re wanting to drive traffic from Instagram, you add direct links to your blog posts instead of a general blog link, making it easier for your followers to quickly find the content they want more of.
Sign Up for Link in Bio
For example, we’ve been using our Link in Bio to link directly to our blog posts, instead of just having later.com/blog/ in our bio. We’ve also used Linkin.bio to link to ticketing pages for events, and to drive traffic to our Snapchat from Instagram. By using Linkin.bio, we don’t have to manually update the link in our Instagram bio every time we post. Instead, we can link to multiple websites from Instagram using just the link in our bio!
If you are currently on a premium plan or above, you can start using Link in Bio today. For free users, you can upgrade here.
