When to Use Links on IG and FB

This is episode 18 in my live case study for The Silhouette Project, building an AI Image business with Kre8or! Missed the previous episode? Watch it here!

It's important to pump the brakes when it comes to using links on Instagram and Facebook before you have a decent following. You want to let your following build your authority first. Get to around 100 followers and then you can start "responding to questions" and placing your links in the forms of answers to those questions in your stories.

This allows you to come off way more "helpful" than "salesy".

As always, if you follow on either platform leave a comment somewhere and say you're following from WA so I can follow you back. 👍🏼
