Custom Profile URL
When you signed up for LinkedIn® you were auto-assigned a profile link. It’s usually made up of your name and a bunch of random numbers. For example: /jane-doe-834635322
Yuck! This is a rubbish reflection on your Personal Branding.
You can change this in 60 seconds! LinkedIn® keeps a previous custom URL associated with your profile for six months unless you unlink it, so you should still update any places where you have shared the old URL.
- Your New Profile Must Be Unique: If /janedoe is already taken, consider adding a hyphen between your first and last name /jane-doe, or add country at the the end /janedoe-usa
- Short is Sweet: Just sayin’
- Promote your New Link: Add the link to your website, social media profiles, and business cards etc
