If you are one of the 1 Billion people on Instagram, you definitely know that after posting beautiful engaging pictures, the most important part of Instagram is your Instagram bio-hack.
It’s where the action happens. You can drive views, engagement, and purchases through that little doorway.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a brand trying to stand out in the crowd or an influencer flaunting your impressive skills, your Instagram bio is the single most important feature on the platform, apart from, of course, the pictures!
Instagram is perfect. Well, nearly.
The biggest problem with Instagram Bio
One of the biggest frustrations that people, especially brands and marketers have with Instagram is a constraint of sharing multiple links in your bio.
Instagram allows people to have only ONE link in their bio. Only One. That’s all.🤦🏻♂️
Now you see this creates a big problem for people who might want to…
- Promote their other social media accounts
- Add purchase links to products they are recommending
- Add a link to their latest blog post
- Add their latest YouTube video link on Instagram
and more..
The hassle is REAL of going into your Instagram bio and editing those links over and over again according to your latest post. You’re not alone. This problem on how to add more than one link in your Instagram profile has loathed about since the beginning of ‘Insta-land’.

So this is basically a link to another site which has all your other links. What is different than using your blog link then? You have all your links in your blog too. Sorry I don’t get it, what am I missing?😊
Hi Akamatra,
Great question. There are a lot of reasons why you should use elink.io and not just your followers to the homepage of your blog. Your custom elink lets you focus on what links you want to highlight for instance, a video that you’ve uploaded, recent press you received, a product you are recommending or information to an event you are promoting.
If there is a link to your blog, your followers have to hunt for your old blog posts and social links. elink.io lets you decide how you want to divert and optimize your traffic. Think of it as a landing page for your online digital presence. Hope that helps!
Wow I never knew this!! I am definitely going to look into this further for my IG account. Thank you for this!!
Wow thanks for sharing, I’ll look into this 🙂
Wonderful Mika!
That’s a really good observation Claire. The big difference is that on elink the links you share are automatically converted into visual links. You can customize the image and text to make it impactful than just plain text. It makes it easier for your followers to understand where they are going when they click the link.
This is awesome, and extremely helpful!
This is something I will have to check into. I didn’t know it was possible.
This is super cool! I change out my link quite often! Love the ease this seems to bring.
This is such a great tutorial! I had no idea this was even possible

The struggle is real. Seriously even if I could have one in my bio and be able to add one to posts Instagram life would be 100xs easier. I recently noticed a few people doing things like this so now I need to look into doing it because I am launching some new stuff and need multiple links.
