Links, they can make or break you in this world of online sales. When you are trying to drive traffic to say, your blog or an item you are selling; links become very important. Some social media platforms encourage the use of a good link and others not so much. For example, one of my favorite social media platforms, Instagram: they only allow one link. That policy causes you to change it often in order to give your people a good experience. When the point is to get someone to do something right now, like click and read your blog, the proper use of links can save your blogging life. However, if they have to take multiple steps…they will lose interest.
A link without explanation can also be scary in this world of hackers and such; so it’s your duty to get your person to the right place quickly.
What is a good link?
- sends you to the correct location, one click
- explains where you are going; no confusion
What is Linktree?
Introducing Linktree, the one link that is Everything!! Especially if you are marketing or driving traffic from Instagram. GG how much does it cost and how does it work? Good questions and the cost is Free.99 and here is how it works.
- Go to Linktr.ee.com
- Log into your instragram account
- Build your links by clicking add new button/link (for example, blog, esty, notebooks, etc)
- Copy your new link into your profile and watch the magic
Then when folks click the link in your profile they will see the options, preferably the one you directed them to click. The greater feature is the data that is provided, yes they show you how many times a button has been clicked..how awesome is that? #linksmatter lol
A game changer if you ask me, so I had to share in case any of you use Instagram to drive traffic. Let me know in the comments if this is something you would use.
As always thanks for reading
