Episode Synopsis


Every time a fan clicks something, your link shouldn’t just suggest a destination — it should open a world. Great links build loyalty. Lesser links risk losing attention — sometimes for a moment, sometimes for good.
Most musicians don’t realize they’re quietly sabotaging themselves with the links in their bios, emails, and videos — because what happens after the click usually returns more value to the platforms than to you.
In this episode, I break down 8 smarter ways to link people to your music so you stop bleeding attention and start building momentum.
You’ll learn:
-Why certain “smart link” tools aren’t actually that smart
-How to increase the visual and psychological surface area of your music
-How to improve the fan experience with contextualized links
-And more ways to make every click count
If you’re serious about growing your audience — without burning out on promotion — this is the episode to watch.
