# Your First 30 Minutes

You have an account. Now let's make it earn its keep. These five steps are the ones that matter most on day one, and none of them takes long.

## 1. Look at your mini-site

We already built your mini-site during signup, using the details you gave us. It is your link in bio: one page with your photo, your bio, and your links.

Open it and see what fans will see. You can change the banner, add your social and streaming links, write your bio, and drop in content blocks whenever you want.

## 2. Put your URL in your bios

Your ForeverFan URL is the one link you should have everywhere: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, your email signature, anywhere you show up online. It is the front door for everything you do here.

Copy it from your mini-site page and paste it into your social profile bios now, while you are thinking about it. Every visitor who taps it is a chance to gain a fan.

## 3. Create your first link

Think about the one thing you are pushing right now: a new single, a presave, a show, a poll. Make a link for it.

Each link type does a specific job, and most of them can collect a fan's email or phone number along the way, so promoting something and growing your list happen at the same time.

## 4. Turn on a welcome sequence

A welcome sequence is a set of emails that goes out automatically to every new fan the moment they join. You set it up once, and from then on every fan gets a proper hello without you lifting a finger. This is on a paid plan.

It is one of the highest-value things you can set up early, because it works on fans you gain while you are busy doing everything else.

{% endcontent-ref %}

## 5. Peek at your audience

As fans come in, they land in your audience: one table with their contact details, where they are, and how they found you. It will be empty or small at first, and that is exactly the point of everything above.

Have a look so you know where your fans live and how to find them later when you want to send something.

{% content-ref url="/pages/eh3EtcpccYxFnV1L28gM" %}
[Your Audience](/your-audience/audience.md)
{% endcontent-ref %}

That's the core loop. Links bring fans in, your audience holds them, and campaigns and sequences let you reach them. Everything else builds on this.
