What if your fans had space where they could share photos, videos, and build a community together? With Photo Guestbook and Video Guestbook, you can create this space within your link in bio.
We’ll showcase the benefits of these mini apps and share how you can use guestbooks to build a stronger connection with your fans below.
Why Should Musicians Create A Guestbook?
A Guestbook is a virtual space where fans can share photos or videos through your link in bio. Here’s a couple of reasons why you should consider crafting a Guestbook for your audience:
- Guestbooks create community. Oftentimes, it’s difficult for your audience to put a face and name to other fans. Just providing a simple opportunity for fans to see and hear each other in an online space can help you bolster the strength of your community.
- You can get to know your top supporters. Fans that are happy to contribute to your Guestbooks are likely more dedicated, making them high value fans. Guestbook gives you the space to recognize your top fans and connect deeper with them.
- Guestbooks are a safe space for fans. Guestbooks are nestled within your niche link in bio, creating a safe space for your fans to express themselves without having to worry about the eyes of the entire internet.
- Submissions can be used as content with your fan’s permission. Guestbook can be a great place to source content straight from your fans! Just make sure to check with your fans individually before sharing anything on your socials, or using any derivative content in a commercial setting.

Video Guestbook is just as flexible as Photo Guestbook. Consider some of these video prompt ideas to jumpstart your link in bio:

- Ask for responses to a question: Ask a question in your cover image and have your guests record their responses.
- Start a viral video challenge: Do you have an idea for a video challenge or TikTok dance to your new song? Share this guestbook and have people participate. All of the videos will be displayed in the same place.
- Crowdsource video content: Looking for a specific kind of footage for your music video or next promotional campaign? Have supporters submit recordings and get recognized in their next video.
