What is Linktree?
Simply put, Linktree is a tool that allows you to host multiple links in your Instagram™ bio. Instead of updating your bio link every time you publish a new blog post or start a promotion, you can update your Linktree landing page in just a few clicks. Trying to remember to update your bio link every time you publish new Instagram™ content is probably not at the top of your to-do list. That’s why Linktree can be so helpful. It’s a win-win for busy business owners: You can drive people to multiple pieces of content and you don’t have to update your Instagram™ bio on a daily basis.When to Use Linktree for Your Instagram™ Bio
So when should you use Linktree? Bottom line: Linktree is a great tool to use except when you’re doing a promotion or special sale. Otherwise, you should feel empowered to use Linktree as your go-to link for your bio. Think of it as a one-stop shop for your best resources and content. This is the content that your ideal Instagram™ followers are looking for. Whether it’s your evergreen offer or the content that’s driving the most traffic to your website.When Not to Use Linktree for Your Instagram™ Bio
Linktree, of course, can be a helpful tool in driving more people to your website. However, there are instances where Linktree is probably not the best option for your bio. For example, if you’re doing a promotion a Linktree link might not be your best option. After all, you’re trying to drive people to your awesome, limited promotion. Using a Linktree landing page with multiple links might confuse people. Instead, use one link. Then there’s no doubt what you’re asking your Instagram™ followers to do.How to Craft Linktree Links
You probably guessed that just using the title of your content isn’t enough when crafting your Linktree links … and you’re right! Think of the Linktree link as an email subject line or blog post title. Still stuck about what that means for your Linktree links? Focus on the value people will find if they click on your links. Here’s what to keep in mind:- Does your Linktree link tell someone why they should click it?
- Does your Linktree link describe the landing page?
- Avoid telling people what to do (For example, “read my blog post”)
