This guide assumes that you’ve just created your ForeverFan account and are looking to set up all the tools on our platform. This is a quick walkthrough of our suite of tools and when you might want to use them.

In short, you can…

* create **Links** to share on social media to grow your fanbase and collect audience data
* create **Campaigns** to directly message your fans
* grow and analyze your **Audience Database**

## Your Links

There are several types of **Links** you can create with your ForeverFan account:

* Your Mini Site
* Funnel Link
* Forever Presave Link
* Poll Link
* Streaming Link

#### **Your Mini-Site**

In most cases, your **Mini-Site** is the most important to set up. For most ForeverFan users, this is the link that goes in their social media bio. Think of it as a home base for your fans, containing everything you would want to share with them — pre-saves, your artist profile on streaming platforms, upcoming shows, other social media profiles, merch, and more. In addition, your Mini-Site is a great way to collect fan emails and phone numbers.

#### **Forever Presave Links**

If you want to collect presaves on your upcoming releases, then you can set up a **Forever Presave Link** as well. Forever Presave links not only allow fans to pre-save your upcoming release, but to also pre-save *every future release* of yours.

## Campaigns

Campaigns are the best way to communicate with your fans directly. As you collect phone numbers and emails through your Mini-Site, Funnel, and Forever Presave links, that data will be stored in your Audience database.

#### **Email Campaigns**

Email campaigns can be sent to any fan who has shared their email with you. Head to your **Campaigns** tab → **Email.** You can customize a set of recipients, set up all of your email information, and schedule the campaign from this page.
