In the ever-evolving landscape of social media, platforms like Instagram and TikTok have become essential for connecting with existing fans, new fans, and building your brand as musicians. Your bio is like your digital calling card, providing a brief snapshot into who you are as an artist and where else you can be found. While this tiny section may seem inconspicuous, it holds immense potential, especially when it comes to driving traffic to your Smart Links page.

Here are the steps to create a link in bio for your music:

  • Create a Smart Links page
  • Populate the Smart Links feature
  • Retrieve your Smart Links page URL
  • Add your Smart Link page URL to your social media bios
