How to Drive Instagram Traffic to Other Social Networks

Social media is an integral part of digital marketing, and most organizations have multiple social networks. Having a number of different social channels is smart. Among other benefits, a range of profiles lets brands cater their tone to each platform’s specific audience.

These days, Instagram is one of the most popular social networks worldwide. Favoured by friends, hobbyists, businesses, influencers, and just about everyone in between, the ubiquitous photo-sharing app plays host to over 1 billion active monthly users (TechCrunch, 2018). Considering 50% of users follow at least one business and 80% report that Instagram influences their decision to buy a product or service, it’s no surprise that many organizations choose to focus their efforts on Instagram (Mention, 2018; Facebook, 2019).

Despite its many advantages, Instagram has a few drawbacks when it comes to digital marketing. One such challenge is how to drive traffic from Instagram to other social channels and keep followers engaged. Unlike some social platforms, Instagram doesn’t enable users to link other social profiles. In order to drive Instagram traffic to accounts on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Soundcloud, Poshmark, App Stores, and others, businesses must first send users through their website. This process involves multiple clicks, reducing focus, and diluting traffic.
