Now, let's look at the pros and cons of placing a Spotify link in the Instagram bio.

+
The link will always be visible in your profile. You can add just one link to the Instagram bio. Mainly, artists place their songs on different music platforms so that users can choose the most convenient way to listen to them. In this case, it's challenging to select which link to add to the bio.
Users can only listen to your track, as Spotify opens on Instagram. In other words, there is no way to add your song to the playlist.

Generally, artists post their tracks not only on Spotify, but also on Apple Music, BeatStars, Pandora, Bandcamp, etc. This is done so that fans can choose an appropriate music platform, and of course, it helps to widen audience coverage.

Another Instagram limitation is the number of characters in the bio. There should be no more than 150 of them. On Taplink, you can tell everything you think is necessary, without limiting yourself.

There are 18 blocks for creating a Taplink page: text, avatar, social networks, messaging apps, video, music, etc. We will use blocks for links, social networks, and music.

Let's now look at how to make a Taplink page and how to create the first link. We'll try this with an example of adding a link to a track.

  1. When you've signed up, you will see a page with various designs. You can choose any premade option or create the new one. We will create our own. To do this, tap Empty template.
  2. Let's start filling in the page by adding an avatar. Hit the profile icon at the top part.
  3. Tap Upload image.
  4. When you've uploaded the avatar, you can pick the desired Avatar size.
  5. Then tap Save changes.

Now, when the profile is created, let's start adding the link.

  1. To attach a link, tap Add block.
  2. Select Link
  3. Come up with a name for a button and write it in the Headline field.
  4. Add a link to the track in the Website field.
  5. Tap Save changes.

That's it! You've added a link to the track. This is how it looks like:

When users follow the link, the song will be played automatically.

It's possible to add an artist's Spotify profile link using a block named "Social networks". 

Let's look at how to do this at Taplink.

  1. Tap Add block.
  2. Select Social networks.
  3. Tap Spotify.
  4. Add the name of the button to the Link text field.
  5. Attach a profile link to the Spotify link field.
  6. Tap Save changes.

Done! You added a link to the artist's profile on Spotify.

By the way, pay attention to the music platforms represented at Taplink: Apple Music, Apple Podcast, Amazon Music, Deezer, Yandex Music, Spotify, SoundCloud, BeatStars, Audiomack, MixCloud, Pandora, LÜM, Bandcamp, Stitcher, and Last.fm.

At Taplink, you can add links not only in the format of buttons, but also in such a way that the track will be placed on your page as in a playlist. 

Here's how to do it:

  1. Tap Add block.
  2. Select Music.
  3. In the Link to the track, album, or playlist field, insert the link.
  4. Tap Add.
  5. Hit Save changes.

Done! This is how your link to the track can look if you publish it using the "Music" block.

Please note: It's possible to listen to only 30 seconds of the track. Users need to go to Spotify to get the full version.

In the same way, you can share a playlist on the Taplink page:

Now, when the Taplink page is created and all the necessary links are added, we can put a link to it in the Instagram bio.

There are three ways to do this:

  • Come up with a unique name for the Taplink page.
  • Add your domain.

We will use the first method and create a personal name for the page.

  1. Tap Publish at the top of the screen.
  2. Write a name for your page in the Enter the website address field.
  3. Then hit Connect.
  4. Copy the link from the Your website url field.

Then you can proceed according to the steps of adding a link to the Instagram bio, which we described above.

You can design the Taplink page as your heart desires. There are more than 300 designs and various design tools like Section to make your unique and on-brand page. And there are more than 60 page templates for different topics, music is one of them. 

This is what the templates for musicians look like:

All you need is to add your data and place a link to your Taplink page in the profile bio. 

Let's look at how exactly the templates help musicians to make money on Instagram. It's not only links to their songs on Spotify and other platforms, there are two more things.

You can sell tickets for your concerts on the link in bio pages. To do this, simply add the "Form and payments" block. 

Here's how the payment form looks on a Taplink page:

This is a timer:

To take stock of what we've discussed, let's look at the pros and cons of adding a Spotify link to Taplink.

The link will open immediately on Spotify, not on Instagram. 
You can add a timer.

If you add a link to your Instagram, the main rule is to keep your profile public. People will be interested in you if they see not only the link in the bio but also your profile grid.

You can add a Spotify link to your Instagram profile to enlarge your audience on this music platform. Then followers will be able to follow the link, rate your tracks, add them to playlists and subscribe to your account.

You are not limited on the number of links at all! Moreover, you can add a timer before the release of a new track, as well as sell tickets for your upcoming concert.
