How to Post Links to Instagram Stories With the New Link Sticker (Without 10K Followers!)

If you have a Business or Creator account on Instagram, you can now share links to any destination straight from your Instagram Stories – regardless of how many followers you have.

You can add links to your stories by using Instagram’s new clickable link sticker.

The new link sticker is much more visible, and can be added anywhere on a story. It also shows viewers the first part of the destination link (i.e. the domain), giving more transparency.

Here's how to add a link sticker on stories:

#1: Head to the Instagram Stories sticker tray and select the link sticker.

NOTE: If you don't have access to link stickers just yet, sit tight. Instagram only just made this announcement, so it may take a few days to see them in the lineup.

#2: Paste your link into the link field.

If you really want to drive traffic from stories, it’s important to add a clear call-to-action.

This could be a verbal call out, some on-screen text, an animated GIF, or all of the above.
