Instagram in the hands of a knowledgeable person is not just a virtual platform for viewing photos or videos, but also a powerful resource for promoting a website and attracting additional traffic. For this, you can, for example, use adding a link in the story. And we are ready to tell you in detail how to add a link in an Instagram story.

  1. Open your Instagram account and tap the camera icon in the top left corner of the screen.

  2. Take a photo or video that you want to post in the story.

  3. Add the necessary stickers and text you want to use.

  4. Tap the "attachment" icon in the top right corner of the screen. It is marked with a chain icon.

  5. Choose the "URL" option and insert the desired link.

  6. Tap the "Done" button in the top right corner of the screen.

  7. Check that the link is displayed correctly in your story and publish it.

How to follow a link in an Instagram story? Tap it, and you'll immediately go from the story to the website or post you attached. As you can see, everything is very simple and easy!

Remember that links in Instagram stories are only available for active profiles with more than 10,000 followers or for users who have a verified account. If you do not meet these criteria, you can use other ways, such as adding a link in your profile description or using paid advertising on Instagram.
