Introduction

You may have seen posts on Facebook groups from particular people that have attractive images that, when clicked, take you to their website. Why not use it for yourself? It looks great, converts much better if you target the right audience, and it’s not that difficult to do. You can currently do this from within SU Social for Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter, and these are known as clickable images.

What is a Clickable Image Post?

You can create posts with a lot more interaction by using the Clickable Image Post functionality. These posts will essentially be large photos that draw attention and can be clicked to take people to your website. It’s a fantastic way to attract interested visitors to your website, and your conversion rates will soar as a result. For all campaign types, including Standard, Scheduled, and Volume Campaign, Clickable Image Post is an option.

Using Clickable Image Posts

Follow these steps to make posts with clickable images:

➡ Create a new campaign by clicking on the ADD CAMPAIGN button under the PUBLISHER section’s  CAMPAIGNS tab and choosing the kind of campaign you wish to launch. Or you can just click on the name of the existing campaign you wish to use in the campaigns list.

1. Navigate to the What to Publish tab.

2. Select CLICKABLE IMAGE POST

3. Fill up the appropriate text box with your post text. You can also use spintax here.

4. Input the clickable image post details:

  • Pick a title for your post.
  • Include the image’s URL that you want to display. Make sure to enter a direct link to the image that you want to use, not to a page that contains that image.
  • The URL that you want the user to be routed to after clicking the image should be added.
  • You can also provide your own custom description if you don’t want the URL description to be generated automatically.
  • Source URL – this is for Pinterest only.

➡ When you are done creating the post, it should look something like this:

➡ Then select the ADD TO POST LIST button. Once sent, the post will show up as follows in the Posts List tab: 

💡You can now set up your campaign as normal. For additional information on setting up your campaigns and what you need to know about each one, check how to add a Scheduled campaign, a Standard campaign, or a Volume campaign if you are new to SU Social.

Keys to success

📌 For use with the clickable image post, you must set up your own clickable image post server. Furthermore, remember to configure it under Settings > Connectivity; this is a global setting that will be applied to all of your clickable images.

📌 If there are no clickable image servers added, you will instead see the error message below.

📌 You will need to upload the image elsewhere or use an image that is already available so that everything is set up before you begin; you cannot upload it using the SU Social.

It would be fantastic if you had it on your website because you could utilize it from there. If not, simply submit it online anywhere that accepts uncomplicated image uploads. You can accomplish this using http://imgur.com; it’s simple to post a photo there and obtain a direct URL; and you don’t have to register if you don’t want to.

📌 Use a high-quality image in your post to ensure that it looks amazing. Use a wide image whenever possible because social networks prefer them. Get the direct URL for your photo to be used in SU Social.

📌 It is highly recommended to utilize at least a minimal amount of spinning for the title of your article since different titles will result in different URLs for SU Social to publish. This is particularly beneficial when posting to numerous Facebook groups because it will ensure that you use various URLs for the same message, lowering the likelihood that Facebook may block those URLs. You can also utilize a few different servers as an alternative.

Conclusion

Clickable Image Posts are a great way to increase interaction on social media platforms and drive traffic to your website. SU Social provides an easy way to create and use clickable images on Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and Twitter. It is important to remember to set up your own clickable image post server and use a high-quality image for the best results.
