A clickable link to your posts is now available. It’s a sticker that you can add to images in your LinkedIn posts, placing it wherever you like in the frame, and in variable sizes. The link sticker is similar to those in Instagram and Facebook Stories, providing a simple way to add another referral link into your updates. You can add links to both video and image posts and you can also customize the text displayed based on the link.
The new option is still being rolled out gradually. It will be available in your post creation tools via a dedicated chain link icon and can be used only on the mobile version of the app at this stage. Adding a clickable link to posts could end up being a valuable option for driving traffic from the LinkedIn feed and can help users convert audiences easily.
