How to create your own Instagram link tree

If you’re looking for more customization choices or need access to detailed analytics, you can also create your own link tree. The process will begin with creating a simple landing page housing all the links you want to share with your followers.

Step 1: Create a landing page

Make a new page using your content creation tool: WordPress or your blogging platform. You can also take a look at a dedicated landing page builder like Unbounce.

Keep in mind that you will be including your link tree’s URL in your Instagram bio, so keep it short and sweet. Think about using your Instagram username, or words such as “hello,” “about” or “learn more.”

Step 2: Design your page

When designing your page, remember that your followers will be accessing it on mobile. Keep it simple and pay attention to make the links stand out as much as possible.

Use a design tool like Canva to design attractive and unique buttons for your links. To be sure that they are correctly displayed on all phone screens, keep them small. 500×100 pixels will work great:

If you want the page to be more engaging, add a photo and a short welcome message.

Step 3: Add links with UTM parameters

Right when you arrange your buttons on your landing page, it’s the right time to add the links.

For easy performance tracking, add UTM parameters to your links. This will allow you to access click-through information from your Google Analytics account.

Google’s Campaign URL Builder is a free and great tool for building UTM links.

That’s it!
