Of course, when making your own music website, it’s important to add your music. In Taplink, you can add tracks, playlists, or albums directly to your site. Visitors can check them out without leaving for other platforms.

Our template doesn’t have a music block, so we’ll add it manually.

When you’ve got a concert coming up and tickets are on sale, don’t forget to highlight it on your music website and add a buy button.

Those selling merch might be interested in the product section.

With Taplink, you can sell both digital and physical goods. You can sell digital products directly from your music website and earn money. Just add the digital product to your musician’s website and connect the payment providers. Read the step-by-step guide on setting up digital products.

To sell physical products, you can add an image, description, and a button linking to the platform where they are sold. Here’s how to do this:

01. Tap Add block.

02. Select Image carousel.

03. Add an image of your product.

04. Enter the product name.

05. Write its description.

06. Paste the link to your product page on the external platform.

07. Enter the button title.

08. To add another product, tap New slide and repeat steps 3–7.

09. Save the product settings.

When creating your music website, you’ll probably want to remove blocks you don’t need.

You can also move blocks up and down on your musician’s site. To do this, hold the drag icon next to the block and move it (number 1 in the screenshot).

You can also move an entire section with multiple blocks at once. To move it, hold the drag icon above the section and drag it up or down (number 2 in the screenshot).
