How to Add a Link in a Facebook Post (Simple Guide)

Adding a link to your Facebook post is a great way to share content, promote a website, or drive traffic to your blog or YouTube channel. Whether you're posting from your phone or computer, it's very simple to do. In this post, I’ll walk you through how to add a clickable link on Facebook step by step.

✅ Step-by-Step Guide (Mobile & Desktop)

📱 On Mobile (Facebook App):

  1. Open the Facebook app and tap on “What’s on your mind?”

  2. Type your message or caption.

  3. Paste the full link (including http:// or https://) into the post.

    • Example: https://www.myblog.com

  4. Facebook will automatically generate a preview of the link (image + title).

  5. You can delete the link text after the preview appears (optional).

  6. Tap Post.

💻 On Desktop:

  1. Go to facebook.com and click “What's on your mind?”

  2. Write your message.

  3. Paste your link directly into the post box.

  4. Wait for Facebook to fetch the preview.

  5. Optional: delete the plain link (the preview stays).

  6. Click Post.


🔗 Tips for Better Link Sharing

  • Use a short URL: Use tools like bit.ly to shorten long links.

  • Add a call-to-action: For example, “Click the link below to read more!”

  • Use eye-catching thumbnails: Facebook grabs images from your link — make sure your website/blog has a good featured image.

  • Check the preview before posting to make sure the link works and looks nice.

Unfortunately, Facebook does not allow clickable text (anchor links) like on websites. So you can't make words like “Click here” into a link. The full URL must be visible or shown as a preview.

💡 Bonus: Add Links in Comments or Stories

  • You can also paste links into comments if you forgot to add them in the post.

  • In Facebook Stories, you can’t add a clickable link unless you’re using Facebook Business Suite or have access to link stickers (available to some pages).
