Smart link & release page

A smart link is one URL that sends each fan to their platform of choice (Spotify, Apple, YouTube…) on a branded page — the link you put in every bio and post. Most tools split this across paid tiers; maddafakka.org gives it away free: all platforms auto-detected, a custom URL, click analytics, a QR code, an Instagram-story card, a free bio page / mini-website (link-in-bio with themes, socials and link blocks) and automatic placement on a live chart. Make this before you announce — it's the hub everything else points to.

The steps

  1. 1Create your smart link from your Spotify/Apple/YouTube link (here it's free, ~30 seconds).
  2. 2Set a custom URL, theme it to your cover, and grab your QR + story card.
  3. 3Put the link in every bio, post, and pitch — one link, every platform.
  4. 4Watch per-platform click analytics to see what's converting.
  5. 5(Optional) claim your free bio page / mini-website (link-in-bio) so all your music, socials and links live on one branded page.
