Artist-branded pre-save and release links
Share your pre-save and release links under your own name, not your distributor's URL. linkembed gives musicians a branded link for every drop.
You spend months on a track, then the link you share with all your followers to pre-save it on Instagram and TikTok doesn't even say your name. It looks like a string from your distributor, not you. A musician branded link fixes that - your name in the URL instead of theirs.
The branded link problem musicians run into
- Release day posts need one memorable path, not five different vendor URLs across platforms.
- You want posters and merch to use a QR that will not change when the distributor tweaks query strings.
- Sometimes you need a fan club link that should not be public scrapable without a light gate (password or email).
What a better link experience looks like
listen.yourartist.com/single-name (or your workspace on linkembed.io while you test) becomes the spoken line in every interview. Behind it, either an embed of allowed content or a redirect into the store or pre-save flow you already use.
How linkembed supports that workflow
Create a redirect link pointing at your distributor https URL, then apply UTM templates if you care about campaign reporting (how to track link clicks with UTM parameters). Print QR from Share so flyers match the stream link (how to create a QR code for any link). If you want the tab to stay on your name while a doc or playlist embeds, use an embed link instead (how to embed a page on your own domain).
Custom domains require Creator or higher; analytics retention scales with tier (pricing).
FAQ
Q: Does linkembed replace my distributor?
A: No. It is the branded layer in front of the URL they give you.
Q: Can fans still see the final store URL?
A: On redirect links, the browser will land on the destination. The branded value is what you print and say out loud.
Q: What if embedding the player fails?
A: Some providers block iframe embedding. Fall back to redirect (what is iframe embedding and when to use it).
Q: Can I run multiple singles in one workspace?
A: Plan limits apply per pricing; Pro raises caps if you manage many releases.
Q: Do I need a custom domain on day one?
A: No. You can ship with yourworkspace.linkembed.io until you are ready for Creator.
