How to drive sales through Instagram Link in Bio Feature

Instagram Link in Bio

When it comes to driving sales, no matter what the business is, Instagram is a powerful social platform to drive sales to your product pages or eCommerce website. However, Instagram puts some restrictions on links, allowing you to have only one clickable link in your Instagram bio called the link in bio

Unlike Facebook and Twitter, you can’t add clickable links in the caption of Instagram posts and comment section. If you want to promote your brand or drive sales to your site, you will have to use this single link in bio carefully. Your aim should be to get more as much from as you can. 

To drive sales to your specific product or page, you have to put their link into your Instagram bio. Once you put, share your bio link to large groups, pages, and communities. However, share to only niche relevant groups and pages. 

What if you need more links to promote? No worries, there’s many Instagram link in bio tools out there. Some offer premium features at zero cost, and some are paid. Here I’m going to list some tools to help you drive sales.  

Instagram Link in Bio tools 

We know that the bio link has been a popular source of traffic and sales. Instagram allows us to have only one clickable link that can be added only in the bio section. This link is a call to action that encourages the audience to go through this link to get more info. That’s why it’s necessary to make the best possible use of this single link in bio. Let’s proceed here to take a quick look at the following bio tools. 

LinkBook

This bio tool allows you to create a landing page to house your content, such as videos, images, blogs, and multiple links, such as links for your Facebook pages, YouTube channels, websites, product pages, and many more. LinkBook provides custom domains for your landing pages.

Don’t forget that short links without a branded domain are considered unsafe by Instagram. So, IG is marking the short links as spam. If you’re using Linktree links, they can get banned at any time because Linktree is unable to provide a custom URL shortener. Above all, LinkBook is 100% free to use. Let’s take a quick look on its features.
