Have you ever wondered how to add a link to Instagram? If you have then this post is for you! There are multiple ways to do that! Here are 4 ways to add a link to your Instagram profile and your stories (even if you don’t have 10,000 followers or a verified account)!
- Instagram bio
The first one is Instagram bio! The most common way to add a link to your Instagram is to use the link space in your Instagram bio.
When people visit your Instagram profile, the first thing that catches their eye is your profile photo and your bio. Seconds after that it’s all about your feed, of course! So, the easiest way to add a link to your website, Pinterest, Facebook or Twitter profile is to add it in your Instagram bio section. To do that, you need to click Edit profile and update the Website field. As simple as that!
- Instagram story
How to add a link to your Instagram story is a common question especially if you don’t have 10,000 followers. However, if you do have 10,000 followers on Instagram or if you have a verified account (that’s what the blue badge is there for) it’s easy to do it! Simply click on the link symbol in your Instagram story and you can add a Web link or IGTV link.
- IGTV
There is a way to add a link to Instagram story even if you don’t have 10,000 followers or a verified account! That’s where IGTV comes in!
Did you know that you can use IGTV to get the swipe up feature in your Instagram story?
If you want a swipe up link in your stories with less than 10,000 Instagram followers here’s what to do! Make an IGTV video. It requires a bit of work but it’s worth it! Plus, IGTV videos sometimes get more engagement than your regular feed posts.
This is the only other way to add a swipe up link in your Instagram stories!
Instagram allows you to add a link in your IGTV caption, no matter how many followers you have. When you post your IGTV video, you will be able to add it to your Instagram story and use the swipe up feature.
Don’t forget to tell people about your video and post a preview of it in your feed! When they see the video they’ll be able to click on the link straight from the description (caption of your video).
Another great thing about Instagram is that you can save all your stories with swipe up links to your Highlights. That way they will stay on your profile longer than 24 hours and you can refer people from time to time to check them out.

- DM the link
Another way to make people click on your link is to simply DM it to them! People can click on your link straight from the messages, so it’s another pretty cool way to share a link through Instagram. Try not to look spammy by sending it to someone you never chatted with before on Instagram.
