Customize your Broadjam URL!

Would you like to make it easier for your fans, friends and family to find your Broadjam profile? No problem. Just personalize your profile address.

As a Broadjam member, you can customize the URL (web address) for your Artist Profile. Just go to your profile page and, under the short-description section, you can edit your Broadjam URL. Simply enter your desired text, click submit and you're done.

The default URL for your profile looks something like this:
www.broadjam.com/artists/home.php?artistID=87654321

But, why not simplify things and change it to this:
www.broadjam.com/name

Just make sure not to use any space! Dashes are fine, as in your-name-here, but spaces don't work well.

Personalizing your URL will provide a clearer path to your Broadjam profile. It's easier to remember and communicate. It will make it much simpler for others to locate your page, purchase your music, read your latest news, follow your performance schedule and much more.
