Whether you use Instagram to follow your favorite celebrities and businesses, promote your own projects, or simply to stay in touch with and share snapshots from your life with family and friends, Instagram has a little something for everyone.
You can even use your Instagram profile to share details about yourself, like work projects and professional endeavors, or even charitable organizations you support by placing links in your bio.
Adding a link in your Instagram profile takes only a few seconds and can be done via the Instagram website on your Mac or PC or via the mobile app for iPhone or Android. Once the link is added, anyone who visits your profile page will be able to click on it and visit the site you recommend.
Here's how to do it.
