what do you do when you want to promote your music video but you also want to
promote the spotify link the amazon link google play all at the same time what's
the best most effective way to do that all for free i'm going to walk you guys
through it from start to finish in this video stay tuned
what's up everyone my name is Cracka Lack welcome back to Cracka Lack TV.
Today all my artists out there i'm going to show you how to make
a landing page for your single what this landing page does for you is now you
don't have to say click here to check out the song on
itunes click here to get it on spotify if you want to watch it on youtube click
here you don't have to do that i'm going to show you guys what i feel is the best
landing page to promote your songs and the reason why
is it lets you embed the youtube video and it lets you make it automatically
play as well that's what i feel is the the game
changer if you're new to the channel make sure you subscribe hit the bell to
be notified for future uploads more good content just like this i'm
gonna jump on the computer right now let's say you're using a distributor
like distrokid they give you one of these right see this distroking
if you're not using distrokid i highly recommend it
i'll do a whole another video talking about distrokid versus tone ore vs cd
baby but okay so distrokid they give you one of
these right and this is what we're gonna make so
you see right here it's got the picture at the top it's got the spotify link
the apple music action google play this is what you want to promote
the only thing that sucks is a lot of times it's artists
that are asking me what they should do and what they should promote
they just spent a lot of money on getting a music video so it's like they
want to promote the music video but at the same time
they also want to send people to their spotify to get the streams up and you
also there's people have apple music how do
you promote everything at one time this way you let the fan pick what they
want like me i don't have an iphone i'm not an apple
music itunes guy i'm a spotify in youtube so if i'm at
the gym and i see one of your ads or something
swipe up and it takes me to this i'm gonna listen to the song on spotify
but now if i'm at home and i'm laying in bed or if i'm doing some
labor type work where i just have videos going
i'm gonna click on the youtube link so i can watch the music video alright you
guys so this is what we're gonna design right here
this in my opinion is the best option for a landing page for
your song right this would be the link that you
would promote this would be like if you're running a facebook ad where you
have a snippet of your music video and then you can add the button to like
learn more watch more listen now this is the link
that you would promote you want to put this link
in your bio on instagram if you want an instagram story ads
this is the link that i highly recommend you promote right now do it yourself hop
on instagram start going through stories you'll
notice like every three to four stories there's a sponsored ad and if you're
like a fan of rap music these big artists are
going to be targeting you so what i was doing was i was screenshotting
let's say a tech nine and it's a sponsored ad and it's a
10 second clip of his music video then i'll swipe up to learn more
and it takes you boom to a page like this g-eazy
clip of him swipe up it takes you straight to his spotify i've been
researching and seeing what the the big dogs are doing and usually
what they're doing is is right you know they have a team
a whole company that's job is designated to
find the best way to go about doing this so the only problem is again
let's say you're promoting this link right here what about that music video
that you just spent some some money on that you want people to
see you know yeah technically you could add one of these links right here that
say youtube and i'll take them to that but you want that music video so
what i love about this page is you got the music video right there it's
automatically playing and then you can add all the links right
here all right so i'm gonna walk you through how to make one of these
and then also cheat code i found this site right here it's like
odyssly.com i'm gonna put a link to this in the
description but if you go right here they'll do all the hard work for you so
all you have to do is give them one link so for this example i'm gonna be doing
this for artist basic he just dropped a video
today and i'm gonna make the the landing page for him
i'm just gonna copy the link to the spotify song
i'm gonna paste it through the odyssly and then they do the hard work for you
they make this landing page and technically you can promote this as a
landing page but again you want to showcase that music video
that you did and yes you can click youtube right there and i'll take you to
the music video so what i like to do is right here
i'll make the odyssey on one side and then i'll open up
smart url dot it this is all for you too now it's just a bunch of copying and
pasting right the first one it asks for is apple music itunes url so i'm gonna
click on apple music copy go back over here paste it should
automatically start loading these for us social platforms it lets you have
these buttons as you see in the top right corner of the screen it's got a
facebook a twitter and an instagram button so if you wanted
to link to your social media you can right there
as well so now here's his basic music basic music and then he does have a
website so that'll be
itunes is there and this uh smart url it automatically generated this for us
okay so now we're gonna go add new retailer we're gonna type
spotify
we got to go back to that song dot link click on spotify copy paste
all right and as you see right now it's it's already generating the page at the
bottom okay so now we're gonna click add new retailer
and uh you you can add as many of these as you want
really like the main ones is going to be like the apple music the itunes spotify
i know people still use title google play all right now i'm gonna click
apple music
paste all right you'll see it load at that bottom there
for some reason there's two itunes so what i'm gonna do is scroll
up delete this on the left side you see there's a trash can
all right google play some copy the link go to the very bottom add
new retailer and all you're going to do is just keep
clicking add new retailer and then add as many as you want and you just copy
and pasted links from the song.link page
all right all right so let's say you're done with all the retailers then you're
going to scroll down to the bottom we're going to go to the left side here
add audio or video player and this is where you're going to
do the video player enabled put your music video link
so i just copied it i'm gonna paste the youtube link
bam so now you see it's got the the name of the song
the music video it's got the artwork it's got all the stories
right there you can customize it as much as you want the header spot
that's fine background settings now it lets you pick out a smart url
that it slash and this would be like the name of the song so i'm gonna
try the stfu you know it's already been used so i'm gonna do
basic stfu one last thing that i am doing is i'm
gonna add the name it had just did the name of
the song now it shows the artist name the name of
the song another thing if you want to change the order
of all of the like the streaming the itunes spotify
scroll up and you'll see on that left side it's got
these up and down arrows and you just click it
so let's say i want spotify to be first and then
apple music to be second then itunes then google play then amazon music bam
there you go now after you save it you can click go
to it's going to give you a link at the top
and you'll see right there smart url dot it
slash whatever you put and then that's what you would copy and paste
i would say this is the link that you would want to promote when you drop a
new song especially music video alright
