New LinkedIn Update: Swipe Up Links On Stories
- FEATURE UPDATES
LinkedIn has officially rolled out swipe-up links on its Story tool.
Said to be very similar to Instagram’s swipe-up feature, this game changing platform tool will help to:
- Drive Traffic To Your Profile Or Company Page
- Increase Views/Engagement On Your Post/Article
- Drive Traffic To Any Blog Article
- Drive Traffic To Your Landing Page
- Promote Your Products Or Services
This new feature will also enable users to add a ‘see more’ prompt to content, which can then be linked to a relevant website.
In order to add links to your story then all you have to do is:
- Create an amazing story by adding photos or videos.
- Tap on the link icon from the top right corner of your screen.
- Add destination URL under ‘add link’
- Click on ‘done’
- Let people know to swipe up by adding appropriate CTA sticker or text
- Finish by clicking on ‘share story’
- Watch the results.
But it’s important to note that stories are available only for 24 hours since uploaded, so be sure to check story insights before it gets to disappear.
