Here’s a question that puzzles most social media users … Why do some of my posts get more views than others? It’s a difficult question to answer. Each social network has a different algorithm. Each algorithm promotes and demotes posts in their own unique way. Learning why some posts go viral while others don’t is nigh on impossible. However, there was one thing I noticed with my posts. It seemed that posts with links got less engagement and fewer views. This was just an anecdotal feeling, nothing more than that. So, to test my hunch, I spent a few months researching.Do posts containing a link perform worse?I conducted a mix of third-party and first party research. All my third-party analysis is based on some great research conducted by others (which I’ve linked to below). The first party analysis was conducted using Brandwatch, a consumer intelligence platform—thank you to Brandwatch for helping us out here. So, do posts containing a link perform worse? Here’s what we found: Tweets with a link achieve 7.2% fewer retweets (Buffer’s own analysis)Tweets with a link garner 28.76% less reach (Buffer’s own analysis)LinkedIn impressions decrease by 3x when posting a link (AgoraPulse)Engagement rate for LinkedIn posts without a link is 70% higher (SocialInsider)Plus, Instagram and TikTok actively discourage link sharingWe couldn’t find any conclusive findings on Facebook or Google Business Profiles, but we’d assume those algorithm’s act in a similar way. So the headline seems clear, posts on social media containing a link seem to perform worse.To dig a little deeper, let’s dive into our analysis.We analyzed 174 million tweets with and without linksThanks to our friends over at Brandwatch, we were able to analyze a huge number of tweets (174,525,132 tweets to be exact).Specifically we looked for a statistically accurate sample of tweets published between July 15th, 2022 to August 16th, 2022 that either contained a link, or contained the phrase “link in bio.”We decided to compare two styles of tweets: Tweets that contained a linkTweets containing the phrase “link in bio”Both of these tweets are attempting to achieve the same thing. They’re both trying to drive people to external content. Except, link-based tweets do so directly in the tweet while, link in bio posts encourage people to click on the bio and access the content that way.We compared the average number of retweets, the number of impressions and the average reach for both types of tweets. Please note, impressions refers to the sum of all followers of the authors who tweeted or retweeted the post, while reach is a number assigned to the tweet which attempts to estimate how many users actually saw the post. Here are the results. Tweets that refer to a “link in bio” generate: 8.98% more retweets than tweets that include a link21.24% more impressions than tweets that include a link40.38% more reach than tweets that include a linkWhy is this? Well one hypothesis is that Twitter, and other social networks, simply don’t want users to leave the app. So they limit the amount of visibility link-based tweets get. However, posts that refer to a link in bio seem to circumvents this limitation. Without an actual link in the text, the post achieves maximum visibility and gets more retweets because of it.How to use a link in bioTo achieve maximum visibility for your posts on social networks, you’ll want to avoid using links and instead direct your audience to your link in bio. Which begs the question. Which  tool should you use?You’ll need a tool that’s customizable to fit your brand. One that’s able to store lots of content and links to direct your audience to the right location. But there are lots of tools that just this (including Buffer’s own—Start Page). However, there’s one thing unique to Start Page that sets it apart. As of today, Start Page users can schedule new posts to appear on their page at a specific time and date—all for free.

Forms are often an integral part of a buyer’s journey, and most companies already use web forms as part of their marketing strategy.
In fact, 74% of companies use web forms for lead generation, and 49.7% say their online forms are their highest converting lead generation tool.
Forms can vary greatly in purpose — you might use a form to get more sign-ups to your email newsletter, collect email addresses to send coupons and special offers, create gated content for viewers, or allow leads to sign-up for free versions of your product.
Ultimately, a form is often the fastest and most effective opportunity for you to collect leads and nurture them into sales.
But creating a form can feel like a tricky endeavor, particularly since a form’s design can have a major impact on whether a visitor fills it out, or abandons your site altogether.
Here, we’re going to dive into how to create your first web form to get you started.

How to Create a Web Form
For our purposes I’m going to show you how to create a form in HubSpot’s free form builder, but you could also use Google Forms, WordPress, HTML, or another tool of your choice.
1. To begin creating your form within your HubSpot account, go to “Marketing” > “Lead Capture” > “Forms”.

2. In the upper right, click “Create form”.

3. In the left panel, click “Regular form”. Then click “Next” in the top right.

4. Select Blank template to start with a blank form, or a pre-made template for a specific use case. Once you’ve selected your template, click “Start”.

5. Here, you have the option to drag-and-drop any elements on the left side that you’d like in your form. Generally, although not always the case, shorter forms perform better, so try to only ask for the most critical information from your form recipients.

6. Once you’ve chosen your desired form fields, click “Option” at the top middle of the screen. Here, you can decide what message you want your recipients to see when they complete the form.

 
7. Finally, click “Style & preview” at the top right of the screen to preview how your form will look on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Additionally, you can make some changes here to the style of your form — for instance, choosing a round or sharp-edged “Submit” button, or changing the colors and fonts of your form.
When you’re ready, click “Publish” at the top right of your screen.

8. Once you click “Publish”, you’ll see this pop-up. Copy and paste the code into your website to embed the form onto one of your web pages, or share the link with recipients via email.
