Instagram is one of the best social networks for <\/span>brand building<\/span><\/a>, but it\u2019s also a great tool for funneling traffic to your site and growing your email list. <\/span>An estimated 87%<\/a> of brands believe that email marketing is critical to their success, so it\u2019s important to leverage every possible avenue for growing your list and email campaigns.<\/p>\n

With more than 2 billion active monthly users, Instagram gives you a massive potential reach to build your list. And it\u2019s easier than you think to start creating your list, running re-targeting campaigns and nurturing your list.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this guide,<\/strong> we\u2019ll show you how to create an email list from Instagram in just six steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

6 Steps To Collect Emails From Instagram To Build Email List<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Before you can start funneling traffic from Instagram to your business or brand, the first thing you need to do is make sure you have your email marketing campaign<\/strong> in order.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this guide, we\u2019re going to assume that you already have an opt-in form on your site and have a campaign up and running.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Now that that\u2019s out of the way, let\u2019s look at our 6-step strategy<\/strong> for using Instagram to funnel traffic to your opt-in form.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Link to Your Opt-in Form in Your Bio<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

First and foremost, make sure that you have a link to your opt-in form in your <\/span>Instagram Bio<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>This is the simplest and one of the most effective ways to drive more traffic to your opt-in form and grow your list.<\/p>\n

Instagram now allows you to add up to five links to your bio,<\/strong> so you can link to your opt-in directly if you want. You can also use a link in bio tool if you prefer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t really matter which method you use as long as you\u2019re linking to your opt-in form in your bio. This way, when people visit your profile, they\u2019ll read your bio to see what you\u2019re all about and sign up for your list with the tap of a button.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Include Your Email Sign Up Link in DM<\/span> Responses<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While we highly recommend that you setup an opt-in form on your website for your list, you <\/span>can <\/span>collect emails other ways, too. <\/span>One way is through DM responses. Meta (owner of Instagram) gives you the tools to do this automatically.<\/p>\n

How?<\/strong><\/p>\n

By setting up an automated welcome message through Meta Business Suite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
