Hang on to your hats, because you’re about to be blown away by our latest feature. Today we’re officially launching Smart.bio by Tailwind , a FREE link in bio tool that will help you drive traffic from Instagram like never before!

instagram bio tips - Smart.bio free link in tool demo

If you’ve dabbled with another link in bio tool before, you’re probably used to having either static button links for your content or linked post images on your landing page.

Now with Smart.bio, you can use both!

Any static links will live at the top of your custom landing page as button links.

These are handy for newsletters, links to your other social profiles OR content that’s relevant to your followers time and again.

Linked post images will appear under your button links, and allow your followers to click through to products, pages or blogs featured in your latest Instagram feed posts.

It’s the best of both worlds! And that’s not the only thing that makes Smart.bio the most advanced FREE link in bio tool around. It also has features like:

  • Complete customization options for your landing page, including title, link style, and buttons in any color
  • In-depth performance analytics that measure page views, link clicks and your overall click-through-rate (CTR)
  • Personalized calls to action (CTAs) under your linked post images to help give your followers context and encourage clicks

With Smart.bio by Tailwind, you can make the most of every Instagram post to drive traffic and increase sales. And did we mention it’s FREE, now and forever?

Wait. What Does Link in Bio Mean On Instagram?

‘Link in Bio’ refers to a clickable hyperlink at the end of your Instagram profile bio.

Instagram allows for one website or URL to be included in your bio, making it valuable real estate for driving traffic and sales from your website or blog.

How to put a link in your Instagram bio:

You can add or change the link that appears in your bio by going to your Instagram profile > Edit Profile > Website. Once you enter your URL of choice, click done to save!

The hyperlink will now appear underneath your bio text on your Instagram profile.

But wait. If you can just add your entire website to your link in bio, why would you need a link in bio tool?

There’s a couple of reasons that adding your website URL to your Instagram profile and calling it a day may not be helping you get much traffic. They are:

  • Your website URL is not trackable which means you’ll never know just how many people are clicking on your website from Instagram unless you use a trackable URL or a link in bio tool.
  • Your followers may get lost when they search for the specific product or post they saw on your Instagram and give up before they find it.
  • Your followers may never click your website because they already assume they’ll have to search for that relevant content and simply don’t want the hassle!
  • You might be switching your website link multiple times a day if you feature lots of products and posts. Talk about a headache!

All of these reasons spell bad news for your plan to drive traffic to your website from Instagram. That’s why link in bio tools are so handy (and it’s a major bonus when they’re FREE like Smart.bio by Tailwind!)

Plus, your Smart.bio landing page updates automatically when you schedule with Tailwind for Instagram. That means when your linked post goes live, the clickable image will appear on your landing page without any extra lifting on your part!

How to Add Spaces in Your Instagram Caption & Bio

Have you ever written a fantastic long-form caption that’s sure to wow your followers on Instagram, only to find it’s a jumbled mess of unreadable text, hashtags, and emojis after publishing? ☹️

We’ve been there, and it’s frustrating.

Long captions (even with the potential to inspire and motivate) are difficult to read without spaces.

Truth is, most of your followers will give up before they begin! ‍♀️When that happens, engagement tanks and your follower growth slows.

Well, kiss your caption concerns good-bye!

We’re going to teach you how to make spaces in your Instagram captions SO effortlessly that this issue won’t even be on your radar anymore.

You’ll be able to write easily readable captions in no time.

You could even write full microblogs as Jenn Herman does in the example on the right.

The best part is, you won’t have to worry that your followers can’t make heads or tails of your content.

First, we’ll go over some common workarounds that users have found to add line breaks to an Instagram caption.

Then, we’ll show you the effortless way to add spaces that beats all of these spacing fixes!

Ready? Let’s go for it!

Best Practices for Using Spaces and Line Breaks in Instagram Captions & Bios

No matter which of the four methods you use, these are some common best practices for using spaces in Instagram captions that you should know. For line break and spacing success:

  • Do: Break the habit of hitting the space bar after the end of a sentence. Extra spaces will cancel out even your best formatting efforts!
  • Do: Include emojis at the beginning or end of an important line. Breaking up your thoughts mid-sentence with emojis is distracting!
  • Don’t: Add emoji right from your phone keyboard. This creates an automatic space after the emoji and a whole lot of headaches!

4 Methods for Adding Blank Spaces

Method 1: Write Your Instagram Caption Out in Your Notes App First

As you may have already realized, it isn’t possible to include a line break on the Instagram app itself.

Even if you press Enter while typing your caption on Instagram, any formatting will disappear once you hit “Post!”

You also can’t go back into your caption and make formatting changes – they won’t appear.

That’s why one of the first fixes for adding line breaks is to draft your caption in Notes.

To do this, open your Notes app (or a similar app – your email drafts will also work!)

Then, type out your full Instagram caption, or even your Instagram bio with space included.  

Here’s an example of how to put space in an Instagram caption with Notes!

Once your caption is complete, select the text, copy and paste into the caption field on your Instagram post.

You can do this either in the app or in your Instagram scheduling tool!

Okay… this is where it gets tricky.

For the formatting to work on Instagram, you’ll need to remove any spaces after the period that ends the last sentence before the line break.

We habitually hit that space bar after a period.

But adding a space after your punctuation will guarantee your line break formatting won’t work.

We had to try a few times ourselves to get it right!

How to Put Spaces in Your Instagram Bio

Oh, and did we mention you can also add spaces in your Instagram bio?

The same trick will work in this section, too! 

To recap, you can add blank spaces to your Instagram caption using the Notes app with these 3 steps:

  1. Type your Instagram caption into the Notes app with spaces included.
  2. Select then Copy & paste your caption into the caption field of your Instagram post.
  3. Remove any spaces after the period that ends the last sentence before the line break.

Method 2: Use a Line Break Generator App 

Instagram Text Spacer apps are another common workaround for adding space in captions.

There are several browser versions available, like Hashtagie and Apps4Life.

how to create line breaks and spaces on Instagram

You can also download apps like Insta-Space on iPhone and Android to draft your captions with spaces before posting to Instagram.

To use a line break generator app:

  1. Type your Instagram caption directly into the app, or copy and paste from Notes.
  2. Once you’re done adding your line breaks, copy the text from the app.
  3. Open Instagram or your Instagram scheduler, and paste the edited text into your caption.

This workaround is useful if a little clumsy.

You’ll have to juggle a few browsers or apps at once on your phone to get your nicely spaced caption ready for Instagram!

Method 3: Hide Your Hashtags With Periods

You may not be as concerned with spacing out long captions as you are with hiding your hashtags!

Although hashtags are useful for pushing your Instagram posts or videos to relevant search streams where more users can see your posts, they make captions look cluttered. 

One common workaround is to push hashtags under the visible part of the caption!

You can do this by including period “spaces” between the end of the caption and your hashtags.

This hides your hashtags under the “See More” button so that users will have to click in order to see the full caption (and your hashtags).

The downside of this workaround is that periods or other symbols make visible line breaks.

Formatting them can also be tricky because if you include a space after any of the periods, Instagram’s zero-space formatting will remove the line break.

How do I hide my hashtags on Instagram?

To hide your hashtags, type your Instagram caption in the app.

Then, hit return, add a period, and hit return again. Remember, don’t hit the spacebar, or the formatting won’t work!

Keep adding as many periods as you like to reach your desired length, and then add in your hashtags. #️⃣

However, there’s an all-in-one tool available that includes all your emojis, hashtags and line breaks in your Instagram caption draft without losing your formatting!

Plus, you can banish ugly hashtags in your captions forever by automatically hiding them in the first comment!
