Why Every Emerging Artist Needs a Website (And Why Link-in-Bios Aren’t Enough)

🌱 1. Your Website Grows With You

Social platforms change. Algorithms shift. What’s hot today might be gone tomorrow.
But your website? It’s yours forever.

Think of it like planting a seed in your own garden.
You get to shape how it grows, add pages, update your bio, show your shows, and drop new music. It’ll always reflect who you are.

You’re not renting space on someone else’s app. You’re building a home.

🚪 2. A Website Makes You Look Legit

You might not feel “established” yet, but here’s the secret:
People take you more seriously when you have a website.

Bookers, bloggers, agents, they want one place to go and instantly get what you’re about.
No endless scrolling. No guessing. Just a clean, clear home for your story, your music, and your next move.

It’s like showing up with a resume… versus scribbling your name on a napkin.

📱 3. Link-in-Bios Are Limiting

Linktree? Sure, it’s easy. But it’s also not you.

Most link-in-bios feel generic AND they’re not searchable on Google! They don’t show your personality. Worst of all, they send traffic away from your stuff.

With your own website, every click is yours.
You can show off your photos, embed your music, list your shows, collect emails, all in one beautifully branded place.

🔍 4. It’s a Game-Changer for SEO

Search engines don’t rank Instagram bios.
But they do rank websites.

If someone Googles your artist name and finds a clean, fast, up-to-date site — that’s a win.
It’s how you get discovered, get booked, and even land on playlists and press without lifting a finger.

Bonus: websites made with About My Sound are built to perform. That means faster load times, better rankings, and more fans finding you naturally.

💡 5. It’s Easier Than You Think

You don’t need to code.
You don’t need to “be ready.”
And you don’t need a label or a team to start.

With tools like About My Sound, you can build your own artist site or EPK in minutes. No stress, no drag-and-drop headaches, no weird templates.

Just real websites for real artists, ready when you are.

🎤 TL;DR – Link-in-bio ≠ website.

If you're serious about music, even a little, you deserve a digital home.

Start now, grow into it, and let it support you every step of the way.
