As a musician or visual artist, your work lives in a dozen different places online: Spotify, SoundCloud, Bandcamp, Etsy, Behance, YouTube, and more. Pointing your Instagram followers to just one of these means they miss everything else. A link in bio page solves that — and it takes minutes to set up.
Why Musicians and Artists Need a Link in Bio Page
Artists are particularly well-suited to the link in bio format. Your audience comes to you through many different channels and wants different things from you: some want to stream your music, others want to buy prints, and others want to see your tour dates or follow your creative process. A well-organized link page serves all of them.
What to Include on Your Artist Link Page
For Musicians
- Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud profiles
- Bandcamp page — especially for independent artists selling music directly
- YouTube channel — music videos, live sessions, vlogs
- Tour dates or ticketing link — keep this prominent when you're on tour
- Merch store — essential if you sell physical or digital merchandise
- Press kit or EPK — for booking agents and media
- Newsletter or fan club sign-up — your most loyal fans want to stay close
For Visual Artists
- Portfolio or gallery website — your main body of work
- Etsy or print-on-demand shop — for selling prints and products
- Behance or Dribbble profile — great for design and illustration
- Commission or inquiry form — make it easy for people to hire you
- Patreon or Ko-fi — for fans who want to support your work financially
- Newsletter — to keep collectors and fans updated on new work
Tips for Artist Link Pages
- Update your top link every time you release something new — put the latest release front and center
- Use a theme and cover color that reflects your visual identity
- Keep link labels specific: "Listen on Spotify" beats "Spotify"
- Consider adding a short bio with 1-2 lines about your sound or style
- If you're going on tour, add your ticketing link to the top of your page for that period
Using Your QR Code for Physical Promotion
meralink automatically generates a QR code for your profile page. This is incredibly useful for artists: print it on your physical art, include it in show programs, add it to flyers, or put it on your merch packaging. Anyone who scans it lands directly on your link page and can explore all your online presence from there.
Making the Most of Your Artist Link Page
Think of your meralink page as your digital merch table — it's always open, always pointing people to the right place, and always representing your work. Keep it updated, keep it beautiful, and make sure it reflects what you're most excited about right now.
