Starting off with the 1st blog of 2022, we are going to look at LinkedIn Profile Contact Information.
To make any changes to your contact information, click on ‘contact info‘ as circled here
The ‘contact info’ section contains the following information
- LinkedIn Profile URL (website link to your profile)
- Option to add up to 3 website links with descriptions
- Phone Number ( Choose either home, work or mobile)
- Address
- Twitter Handle
- Birthday
Here is an example of my contact information below.
The aspect I want to focus on today is the ability to add 3 website links with descriptions to your contact information.
Once you are a 1st connection with someone on LinkedIn, they will be able to see your website links and descriptions/ calls to action
You may want to use these links to promote a new service or a new product.
Or you may want to add a link to your client reviews page or a link to your newsletter subscription and instruct people to ‘sign up to our newsletter’.
This can be easily done using the the pencil feature at the top of the ‘contact info’ section.
To enable you to add a description to your website link which is customised and make sense to you and your prospective clients, simply choose ‘Other’ from the drop down menu.
This will then trigger LinkedIn to open a new description box under your website link.
You then add your description of the website link here. You have a character limit of 30.
Now you know how to add 3 website links with descriptions to your LinkedIn Profile – how can you best use this feature?
I hope this was useful and actionable for you.
That’s it for today
Thanks a mil!
