However, there are limited customization options with the Link sticker. Adding a link will take your users to your website. Here are some steps to put a link in Instagram story:<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Link_sticker_replaces_swipe-up_feature\"><\/span>Link sticker replaces swipe-up feature<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to a new swipe-up feature, Instagram has introduced a new sticker: the Link Sticker. While users could previously only interact with links in swipe-up destinations, they will now have the option to interact with these stickers right inside their Instagram stories. As the company has warned users not to spread rumors or misinformation with the link sticker, this new feature may have a few limitations.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to enabling more prominent placement of links, the new Link sticker also enables users to add a website address directly in their Instagram stories. This will entice more clicks and boost engagement. While the swipe-up button is still the most prominent way to share a link, it has a limited reach and may not be available to all users. It is unclear if this change will be a worldwide rollout.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_link_to_your_instagram_story\"><\/span>Adding a link to your instagram story<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a link to your Instagram story is one of the new ways to share photos with your followers. The new feature is called Link Stickers and you can use it anywhere in your Story. The key is to make sure that you have access to this feature. In addition, you should know that you can&#8217;t use a link sticker multiple times, or else you might be breaking the terms and conditions.<\/p>\n<p>To add a link to your Instagram story, you must first have more than 10K followers. When you add a link, you can include a landing page, a call to action, or even a business partner&#8217;s website. It&#8217;s important to test the link before publishing it. Then, click on the preview button and make sure it&#8217;s working properly. You can also tag business partners in your branded content.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_link_to_your_instagram_story_without_being_verified\"><\/span>Adding a link to your instagram story without being verified<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a link to your Instagram story was once a dream. Today, it&#8217;s a reality. Adding a link to your story is a great way to increase traffic to your blog or YouTube channel. This easy and quick process is known as &#8216;Link Sticker&#8217;. To use Link Stickers, simply update your Instagram app and find the Link sticker option. This feature is not available for unverified accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Using this feature requires you to have at least 10K followers and be verified. Once verified, you can add a link from the main story menu by tapping the &#8220;+&#8221; button at the bottom. Once a link is added, users have to swipe up the story to open it. After clicking the link, viewers can reach the destination of their choice. If you want to add a link from a business page, you must first have a verified business account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Adding_a_link_to_your_instagram_story_with_a_call_to_action\"><\/span>Adding a link to your instagram story with a call to action<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Adding a link to your Instagram story with a call to action is an easy way to drive traffic to your business&#8217;s website. In order to create a link in your Instagram story, you must have at least 10 thousand followers. When creating a link, you must use a URL that corresponds to the topic of your story. You can also tag business partners in your branded content.<\/p>\n<p>Adding a link to your Instagram story is a simple way to direct people to your website or landing page. You can use a call to action as simple as &#8220;Swipe up&#8221; or &#8220;see more&#8221; to redirect people to your website. You can also create a poll to encourage your audience to follow the link. Then, when the poll ends, the link will appear on the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Put a Link in Instagram Story If you want to include a link on Instagram, you can use the new Link sticker which replaces the swipe-up feature.
