What’s this LinkTree for Instagram all About?
So there’s a cool new website that allows you to make a “link tree” for your instagram account! It’s actually called Linktree.
My friend Te’Amo Blakely just casually mentioned it last night and I was like HOLY COW! This is awesome!
What is Linktree?
It’s a website that provides you with a unique URL to list in your Instagram profile. When they click on it, they will be led to your linktree site with multiple links available for them to click on! How wicked cool is THAT?!
Want to check out my Linktree?
If you would like to check out my Linktree to see what you can do with yours, click here to follow me: FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM
And simply click the link in my profile to check it out!
How much does it cost?
That’s the best part! It’s FREE! WHOOP WHOOP!
How do you set up Linktree?
1. Go to LINKTREE
2. When you link your Instagram account, you’ll be led to a page like this to “add buttons” and links.
3. Then click on the SETTINGS button and you can choose your color scheme.
It was the easiest thing to do! There’s no tricks or crazy hoops to jump through.
You can even pick the colors for your page:
Way to go Linktree! You know we love to customize everything! And it looks like you’ll be able to personalize that even more soon!
So what links/buttons should you create?
- Your facebook business page
- Your closed customer group
- Your shopping site
- Pinterest account
- Twitter account
- I linked one to a Google Survey
- I linked one to a NOTE on my Facebook business page
- You could have one link to customer specials each month
- Link to your blog
- Link to your opportunity event
- A specific YouTube video
The possibilities are quite endless! So what do YOU think you could link to? Who’s ready to check out this new tool called Linktree?
I will say that I’m going to continue to watch this. I have been using a Google Survey as my link with lots of information loaded on it, and I really like it. I haven’t decided which one I will stick with.

Instagram Save Feature
I love the new Instagram save feature!
If you’re scrolling through your Instagram and find something AWESOME…you just tap this save “ribbon” and you cna go back and see it in a “folder” of saved posts.
So what the heck would you use it for?
I’ve saved ideas for products from other consultants
I can duplicate for my own use. So let’s say someone had a cute bag set up in a way I hadn’t seen it used for. I can save it, then go back and take my product and make the same picture for my customers.
I’ve seen business ideas that I love
I’ve seen quotes, or cool ideas for giveaways , or cool ways people were promoting themselves. I can hit that save button on Instagram so I don’t lose it and forget about it! When I have time, I can always go back to it.
I’ve also see ads of crap I don’t need to buy
Right? More and more ads are popping up on Instagram and I personally love them cause they’re QUICK! So whether it’s a video or static ad, I can save it for that one week after payday when I actually have money. Yeah, you know what I mean. I got paid, I’m rich for a week…and then BAM! I’m broke for 3 weeks. But IMA GO BUY IT WHEN I’M RICH FOR A WEEK
And here is where you find your saved photos on your main profile
So there it is. New save feature on Instagram! LOVE IT!
