A link in bio
that ships your release.
Your bio link has one job on release week and a different job the other fifty-one weeks. The trick is a page where the top block changes and nothing underneath it has to.
- No signup
- Live in 30 seconds
- Every tap counted
Sample page for musicians: Wren Callow. New single “Lowlight” out now. Autumn dates on sale. Blocks in order: New single — Lowlight (featured), Apple Music, Official video, Autumn tour tickets, Vinyl & merch, Mailing list, Instagram.
This is the actual renderer — the same code that serves a published page. Your version starts here and you rename it from there.
The one that matters
What goes at the
top for musicians.
The first block gets a disproportionate share of every tap, and on a phone it is often the only thing anyone reads. It is worth being deliberate about.
The new release — one block, featured
On release day the only thing that matters is the first tap. Put the new single, EP or album in the featured slot with the word “new” in the title, pointed at a smart link or your platform of choice. Everything else on the page stays exactly where fans learned to find it, so you are only ever editing one line.
Then, in order
Everything else, and the reason it sits there.
Drag any block in the builder — this is the order we would start from, not a rule.
Second: the other streaming services
Apple Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, SoundCloud — whichever you are actually on. Fans are loyal to their player, not to yours, and a listener who cannot find their app closes the page instead of switching.
Third: tour dates and tickets
One block, one destination, titled with the season or the tour name rather than “Live”. If you have no dates, remove the block — an empty tour page is worse than no link.
Fourth: merch
Merch converts from people who already listened, so it belongs under the music, not above it. Link the shop, not a specific shirt, unless you are pushing one item.
Last: socials and the mailing list
The people tapping these already follow you somewhere. Keep them, keep them at the bottom, and put the mailing list above the socials — it is the only audience no algorithm can take away.
Once it is live
What the tap counts actually tell musicians.
The most useful thing analytics tell a musician is platform split. If most of your taps go to Spotify, your pre-save campaigns should stop treating Apple Music as an equal partner. If YouTube is quietly outperforming both, the next single needs a video, not a lyric card.
Watch the release-week shape too. The 30-day trend plots views and taps by day for the whole page, and a release has a recognisable one: a few days of spike, then a decay that flattens out. The day it flattens is your signal to demote the single and promote whatever you want people doing next — tour tickets, the vinyl pre-order, the mailing list. Guessing that date costs you a week of attention.
Views and total taps are counted on the free plan from the moment you publish. Per-link taps, the 30-day trend and the referrer breakdown are part of Pro at $48 a year. If you stop paying, your page stays live at the same URL with every link working — Tapline has no expiry job today, so Pro you have paid for stays on.
