How to create a free smart link for your music as an independent artist or label
Fan Links or smart links are a great tool for artists or label managers to share multiple links to their music or social profiles with one URL.
With RouteNote distributing your music to so many stores, it can be difficult to predict which link you should share with fans. Using Fan Links via Push.fm you can quickly and easily create one fully customizable landing page with all the necessary links. It’s super easy and free to get started.
Step 1
Step 2
Click Create New Campaign, then Fan Link.
Step 3
Paste a link to your music on any major store. Push.fm will automatically discover many other stores that your music is on. Click Next Step.
Step 4
Push.fm will automatically populate the Track Title, Artist(s), random URL and Feature Image based on the link you provided. You can type a custom URL here if you want. If anything is wrong here, just enter your own details. Once complete, click Next Step.
Step 5
Here you can see all of the stores Push.fm has automatically discovered. You can drag the dots to the left of the store name to reorder, disable links to hide them, or add more stores by clicking Add New Service Provider.
Step 6 (optional)
To add a store, type in the Service Name. If recognised, Push.fm will automatically input the store’s logo. You can enter any text you want in Service Name such as a personal website or merch store. Paste the link in the Service URL. Choose what text you’d like beside the store. Click Next Step once done.
Step 7
Title your campaign so you can easily find it later. Click Launch Campaign to complete.
Step 8
You’ll be returned to the Manage Fan Links page where you can see a link to your campaigns. Here you can test the campaign and share the link far and wide. Here’s one I made earlier.
All features are available to everyone for free. RouteNote and non-RouteNote users can create Fan Links for free as well as view in-depth statistics for all campaigns. Head to Push.fm to get started.
