Have you ever wondered how you can drive traffic from Instagram?

Instagram is a photo and video-sharing social networking service. It is a visual platform, but you can also drive traffic to your content.

In this post, you’ll learn how to drive traffic from Instagram using Smart.bio by Tailwind.

First, what is Tailwind?

Tailwind is a social media scheduling tool for Pinterest and Instagram. It’s free to sign up. No credit card is required.

You can try all Tailwind features for free while scheduling up to 100 Pins on Pinterest and 30 posts on Instagram. There is no time limit.

The Pinterest plan and the Instagram plan are completely different. If you want to try both, you need to sign up for both.

I signed up for Instagram because I wanted to try new features called Smart.bio.

What is Smart.bio?

In general, Instagram allows one link in your bio.

Smart.bio is a tool that allows you to create a personalized landing page. You can add more than one link to the landing page that drives traffic from Instagram to the multiple contents or shops.

You can also customize the landing page by changing the icon, page title, button texts, and colors to match your brand or profile theme.

In addition, you get to see how many people access to your landing page and what links are being clicked. These data can help you to understand the interest of your target audience.

My favorite feature of Smart.bio is called “Add Instagram Post Links.” It allows you to add your published Instagram posts to the landing page with an image. I think this feature is good for bloggers who sell e-products or Etsy shop owners to promote new items.

Note: One of my blog readers told me that Instagram blocks some bio links to protect their community. (to prevent spam links) So, I created a new Instagram account and test this Smart. bio. Instagram did NOT block Smart.bio URL. Tailwind is an official Instagram Partner badged for Community Management. I guess Instagram accepts Smart.bio URL because of their partnership.

How to use Smart.bio?

First, set up Smart.bio. It’s FREE forever. No credit card is required.

Once you’re logged in, go to the left side of the menu bar and click new. (the icon looks like a clip)

In the Your Button Links section, you’ll see “Add New Button Link.” Click the button and add the button name and URL. Check live Smart.bio preview right side of the page.

Here’s my Smart.bio page. I’m a blogger. I want to promote my blog, newsletter, and other social media networks. My brand color is blue, so I changed the button text color to match my site theme.

Now go to the Live Instagram Post Links just below the Add Instagram Post Links section.

Click “Get Your Latest Posts” and select the image that you want to add to Smart.bio page.

I selected my introduction image and add About Me text to “Link Label” and Instagram post link to “Enter a Link.“

Here’s is my final Smart.bio page. Now, I can introduce myself to visitors easily.
