Are you using LinkTree for Instagram? Please stop. In this video, I go over 5 reasons why using LinkTree on Instagram is NOT a good idea and why you shouldn't use it as your Instagram bio link.
1. You have ZERO control
2. Sacrifices your branding
3. Limited analytics
4. Bad user experience and poor conversion
5. Hurts your SEO
INSTEAD: Use Your Website!
Listen, there is absolutely NO REASON why the home page of your website should not be doing the job!! If your website is not set up with the top things you want people to see/experience and doesn't fully capture your brand essence, then FIXING THAT ASAP needs to be your priority.
Your website home page should be doing the following:
Capture your unique brand essence
Have engaging visuals
Promote what you want others to see, purchase, be a part of, etc.
Be well organized and structured in a way that takes the user on a journey
Have powerful CTAs (Calls-To-Action)
Be set up with the proper SEO framework
Look professional and give you credibility
Have strong messaging and copy
Set up with analytics so you can track performance
Be mobile optimized! This is different than responsive. Your website should have a totally different layout on mobile than it does on desktop.
