If you're a blogger, affiliate marketer or independent business owner, generating traffic with a post link is impossible (unless you pay for advertising)
Instagram provides one hyperlink which can be found in your Bio.
What most people do is to write in the description of a post 'Click the link located in my bio.' The problem is, they have to keep changing the link on their bio and there is no record of the previos posts and links .
Here is my solution: My bio link goes to a page on my personal blog. This page contains all of my Instagram posts in a grid. Each picture is hyperlinked and can go wherever is appropriate.
Why Your Instagram Bio Link Should Go to Your Blog
- You can edit the page
- Quickly post an image and add a hyperlink
- Your brand remains congruent.
- All of your posts can have links.
