Tracking links are your key to earning credit for the traffic and conversions you generate. This section ensures you understand how to use your tracking link correctly, even when platforms limit clickable links.

How to Use Your Tracking Links on Key Platforms

  • Instagram & TikTok:
    1. Use tools like Linktree or Beacons to display your UTM link in your bio.
    2. Encourage followers to click the bio link using CTAs like:
      • “Start your tech journey today—link in bio!”
    3. Use Stories (if available) to include clickable links via link stickers.
    4. For regular posts, guide your audience to DM you for the link if clickable links aren’t allowed in captions.
  • LinkedIn:
    1. Paste your UTM link directly into the post.
    2. Use a professional CTA, such as:
      • “Learn how Yellow Tail Tech can prepare you for a tech career—click the link!”
  • YouTube:
    1. Place your UTM link at the top of the video description for maximum visibility.
    2. Mention the link during the video, e.g., “Check out the link in the description to start your journey!”
