A profile page with a song is the single most-requested thing people say they miss from the old internet. It's also surprisingly hard to do on today's networks: Instagram has no page in the sense that matters, Facebook won't play anything, and building your own site means hosting, domains and music licensing you don't want to think about.
Here is how to do it in a few minutes, legally, on POINT. The same ideas apply if you'd rather build a page yourself.
1. Get a page that's actually yours
Sign up at welcometopoint.com, confirm your email, and pick your Point, the username that becomes your address: yourpointspace.com/u/your-name. That link works for anyone, logged in to POINT or not, which matters: a profile page nobody can open isn't a profile page.
2. Pick the look
Open the Space editor. Under Look you'll find:
- Themes: light, dark and dusk are free; POINT+ adds midnight, forest, rose, sand, ocean, ember and mono.
- Background: plain, dots, grid, glow, plus premium patterns and a custom image.
- Font and accent color: the accent colors your links, buttons and the ring around your photo.
- Layout: how your photo grid tiles.
There's a live preview beside the editor on desktop, so you see every change before you save.
3. Add the song
Under Profile, paste a link into Your song. Four services work:
| Service | What listeners get |
|---|---|
| YouTube | The whole song, for everyone |
| Spotify | 30-second preview, full song if they're signed in to Spotify |
| Apple Music | Preview, full song for subscribers |
| SoundCloud | Full track, good for independent artists |
Save, and the player appears in the Song block on your Space.
Two things worth knowing. First, the song won't blast when the page opens. Phones and browsers block autoplay with sound, and that's not something any site can get around anymore, so the player shows with a play button. Second, POINT never hosts the audio. The player is the service's own embed, which is why it's legal and why the artist gets paid.
4. Fill in the rest
- About and location: a line or two.
- Into: pick up to twelve interests. They show on your page and help people with the same interests find you on Explore.
- Links: up to five, for your business, your other profiles, whatever.
- Top Friends: pick up to eight. The order you pick is the order they show.
- Photos: pin photos at the top of your grid. Photos from your posts follow automatically.
Under Blocks you choose which of these show, in what order, and whether each one is visible to everyone or only friends.
5. Decide who sees it
Your whole Space can be public or friends-only. Public means anyone with the link sees it, which is the right choice if you want to share it on other networks or put it in a bio. Friends-only means strangers see your name and photo and a note that they need to add you.
Either way, posts default to friends only. You switch individual posts to public when you want them seen more widely.
6. Share it
Your Space has a share button that produces a card with your photo, banner and link, sized for Instagram stories and texts, and a QR code. Pasting the link anywhere shows a preview.
That's it. No hosting, no HTML, no license to clear, and it looks right on every phone.
If you'd rather build it yourself
You can absolutely make a personal site with a song. The honest checklist: a domain, somewhere to host the page, a responsive layout, and for the music, embed YouTube or Spotify rather than hosting a file. Hosting a song you don't own, even on your own site, is a copyright problem. Embedding the official player isn't.
The reason POINT exists is that most people who want a page with a song don't want a weekend project. They want the page.
