Here are a few options you have. First, you can use a URL shortener. You can also use IGTV, where you can embed links that you control. Finally, you can reference a link in your post to drive traffic to your website. Here are some tips to make it easy to incorporate a link into an Instagram post.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"URL_shorteners\"><\/span>URL shorteners<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While it might be tempting to copy and paste the full URL into your Instagram bio, there are better options. Instead of trying to figure out how to write a long URL for Instagram, consider using URL shorteners. These services allow you to shorten a long URL and display it in a short custom-looking link. The advantage of this approach is that your followers will be more likely to copy and paste it than long URLs. Furthermore, you can add UTM tracking to your shortened link and keep track of which links are getting the most engagement.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to making your URL more memorable and shareable, these tools also offer analytical data for your link. With the help of these tools, you can track how often your links are clicked, which channels they were propagated through, and when they were clicked. They also help you determine which posts are generating the most traffic. Long URLs can be clumsy and unlikely to draw clicks. By using a URL shortener tool, you can ensure that your links are optimized for maximum click-through rates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"IGTV_allows_you_to_insert_clickable_links\"><\/span>IGTV allows you to insert clickable links<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>As an Instagram user, you may have noticed that you can now embed clickable links in your Instagram posts and stories. However, before you can do this, you must first verify your account and have at least 10k followers. IGTV, otherwise known as Instagram TV, is an extension of Instagram that lets you add long-form videos to your account. Unlike Instagram stories, IGTV posts aren&#8217;t limited to two minutes. In addition to this, you can also include links in your IGTV videos.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike in regular Instagram posts, IGtv videos allow you to insert clickable links in your videos. However, you must be aware that videos longer than 15 seconds won&#8217;t be able to contain clickable links. However, if your video is longer than 15 seconds, you can embed links to your Instagram posts via IGtv. It&#8217;s a great way to increase traffic to your website and boost your brand awareness.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_AiSchedul\"><\/span>Using AiSchedul<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using AiSchedul to add a link to Instagram post can be quite a time-consuming process, but it can definitely increase your social media reach. The program makes it easy to schedule your posts, track your competitors, and use the most popular Instagram hashtags. It also makes it very easy to schedule all of your content in advance. Once you&#8217;ve set up an account, you can use the application to schedule your posts.<\/p>\n<p>First, install the AiSchedul app from Google Play. Once you&#8217;ve installed the app, sign up for an account with AiSchedul and add your Instagram accounts. Next, select the &#8220;Post and Scheduling&#8221; option. Next, paste the YouTube URL into the &#8220;YouTube URL Box&#8221;. The software will automatically segment your video so it fits within the Instagram limit. Generally, the video can be between three and 60 seconds. Note that you can&#8217;t upload videos with explicit content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Linktree\"><\/span>Using Linktree<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Linktree to add link to an Instagram post is a great way to drive additional traffic to your website. This service allows you to dictate the link text into the text box, and it also lets you change the color of the link to match your brand&#8217;s logo and color scheme. It is also free, and you can add as many links as you like to your Instagram posts. To get started, download the free app today!<\/p>\n<p>Using Linktree is simple. Log into your Instagram account and choose the plan you&#8217;d like to use. The free tier includes basic functionality, but also includes insights on how many people clicked on your links. The paid tier lets you schedule new links and embed social video, email, and mailing list integrations. For a small monthly fee, you can create your own unique landing page, including multiple links to your website or blog.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe width=\"481\" height=\"269\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Od5nH2vYUro\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Add Link to an Instagram Post Want to include a clickable link on an Instagram post?
