Here's the ONE Link You Should Be Using in Your Instagram Bio [VIDEO]
One of the biggest mistakes I see real estate agents make on Instagram is not linking to their content.
Yes, this sounds really basic, but I’ve seen this happen more times than I can count.

(Really. This is SO common for some reason!)
Another common practice is including the URL right in the Instagram post description. Not only is this link not clickable for anyone, but in my *honest* opinion, this also makes you look kind of lazy.
Ok, rant over! :) If you didn’t already, NOW you know that there’s only one place for a clickable link on Instagram. In this video, I share exactly what that link should be.
