Songlink - How songlinks can help your music marketing

What is a songlink?

A songlink (or songlink) is the easy way to route fans to your music on whatever service they use.

Fans across the globe are listening to their music in many different apps and services. Some are Spotify users, while others subscribe to Apple Music, Deezer, Pandora, Boomplay, or Amazon Music.

Songlinks bring all links to a landing page (a kind of mini-website) that features all the services on which your music is available. So your fans have an easy way to choose the service they use.

What are the benefits of using a songlink?

Songlinks boost your fan engagement

Smart links make it really easy for fans to start listening to your music. They can choose which service they want to use, and don’t face the frustration of clicking on a service to which they’re not a subscriber.

You can collect data

Songlinks help you get a better picture of your fans by giving you access to detailed audience stats. Whenever fans click on your smart link, their behavior is tracked and then collected in your Linkfire Insights.

They’re professional

You’ve probably seen lots of your favorite artists using songlinks on their socials. By using a songlink, you immediately signal that you’re taking your career seriously, which can be a major plus when managers or labels review your profile.

Ticket link

As any touring musician knows, promoting live events is tough.

For one thing, tours are spread across the globe. That’s multiple dates in different countries— sometimes sold through different ticket sites—which need to be promoted to specific audiences.

And secondly, touring schedules can be changed. Illnesses, poor sales, and logistical errors can all lead to concerts being rescheduled or even canceled.

Linkfire ticket links take care of both of these problems. It’s easy for fans to choose their preferred date from your ticket link’s landing page (wherever they are in the world) and you can schedule rescans of your link so the touring schedule is always kept right up to date. Read more.

Playlist link Playlists are becoming an increasingly popular way for fans to consume music. Indeed, landing on a major Spotify or Apple Music playlist can give new artists huge exposure. Read more.

Pre-release link

The best music marketing begins way before music is actually released. By building hype around an upcoming album or track, you get your fanbase excited and ensure a maximum audience on release day. With Linkfire, you can create pre-release links for Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify, and Facebook Messenger. Read more.

Content link

These are ‘direct links’ that take visitors to one destination—skipping a landing page. The advantage of using a content link vs a regular link is that you can still customize the link and collect audience analytics.

You might want to use content links for routing your fans to a social profile, an article you like, a video on Youtube, your merchandise store, or a review of your new album. Read more.

Bio link

Bio link is perfect for platforms where you have to make one link count, like your Instagram bio. Think of it as an ever-evolving microsite where you can promote everything you have going on, from new releases to gigs to merch.

Bio links are available on all Linkfire plans.
