How to put a link in your instagram bio

Everyone knows that instagram is an amazing platform to share your content. Originally, the site only let you share photos with your followers, but over the years has become so much more. Now you can share videos, multiple photos in one post, Reels, Stories, and your Shop - a great place to share your content. But to this day, sharing your content that resides outside of instagram proves a challenge.

Instagram doesn't allow its users to include URLs in their bios, or in post descriptions. This makes it difficult to direct your followers away from instagram and to your own website, sponsor or blog. Instagram does allow you to include a Website on your profile page, however. This is the only place where you can place a clickable URL.

To do this, go to the instagram app on your phone, or go on the website, navigate to your profile and click the 'Edit Profile' button that is shown below your Bio text. From here, scroll down until you see the 'Website' section. In this input field, type the URL of the site you want your followers to be able to visit.

Instagram only allows you to put one link here though, meaning that if you have several websites that you want to include, you need a Link In Bio tool. A Link In Bio service, such as linkchain, allows you to group all your links onto one convenient page. Then just put your unique URL into your instagram bio, and this will take your followers to a page that contains all the links and content that you want to share.


linkchain is designed to enable content creators, influencers, social clubs, activists, gamers, entertainers, bloggers, and just about everyone inbetween the ability to streamline their online branding and create a cohesive experience for their users.

By having just a single, professional, linkchain link on all your social media sites, you can easily direct your followers to your content, enabling them to find your other social media accounts and other content you provide, such as your personal website, blog, podcast, shop, or anywhere!
