We also offer the ability to add a subdomain, helping you brand consistently across your links. This will also provide you with the ability to promote your TourLink for custom conversions. Here's a step-by-step to creating your own custom domain and connecting your domain for use with smart links:
If you plan on advertising to your fans and have connected your custom domain to your smart links—add your retargeting pixels here to track fans that visit your TourLink. You have the ability to add the following retargeting pixels: Facebook, Google, Twitter, Snapchat, and TikTok. Don't have a pixel yet? Create one here.
To earn affiliate revenue on iTunes/Apple Music or Amazon, enter your affiliate code(s) on this page as well.
Retargeting allows you to serve ads directly to individuals who have clicked on your links in the past.
Promote this landing page with a Facebook & Instagram Ad campaign. You can build the perfect ad campaign to put your new landing page in front of your audience, find new fans, and drive more engagement, all for less than $2 a day.
If you’d like to organize your TourLinks, you can create tags for them (e.g. “Tour Name”).
After you've double-checked everything, press Launch and you're good to go!
