If you use DistroKid, you automatically get a tool called "HyperFollow." When you upload your release, DistroKid generates a landing page where fans can pre-save your music.
How to find it:
- Log into DistroKid.
- Click on your new release (even if it's still processing).
- Look for the "HyperFollow" section.
- Copy that URL.
What Are the Limitations of Basic Pre-Save Links?
HyperFollow is great because it is free and instant. However, professional marketers often skip it in favor of advanced Smart Links (like Dynamoi, Feature.fm, or Linkfire).
Why upgrade?
- Pixel Tracking: DistroKid's basic link doesn't always let you install your own Meta Pixel or Google Tag. This means you can't retarget the people who clicked but didn't save.
- Data Ownership: Advanced Smart Links allow you to collect emails directly.
- Customization: You can change the background, button text, and order of stores.
Recommendation: Use HyperFollow for your first release. Once you start running paid ads, switch to a pixel-enabled Smart Link (like Dynamoi's) to ensure you aren't wasting ad spend on untrackable clicks.
