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! The old one stills works by redirecting to the new one, so you won’t lose anyone that uses the old link.
- 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
