I'm really slow with the new breed of social media and namely Instagram. I notice this is where majority of customers now go to, Flickr is slowly losing importance (still use it) and Facebook just doesn't work for me.

So I can post an image with fat watermark. I figured out I can use "User agent switcher" plugins on browser to trick it to "android mode" to enable uploading. Thats sorted.

The problem is that links I post below the photo don't actually work and people are lazy to cut and paste into browser (can you even copy on the app?). Let's say I want them to go to my latest blog post or a specific photo page to get them buying prints. How do I do this?
 
Sorry what link are you posting?

Got an example of what you're trying to do?

Edit : Do you mean in the Instagram photo description? If so I don't believe you can, people tend to say "link in bio" and amend their main url

"Instagram prevents links in photo captions or comments from being clickable. Other than paid ads, the only clickable link within Instagram is on your profile page. A common tactic is to add “link in profile” to a photo caption, sending followers to your bio where they can click on the website link"
