Getting Your Vanity URL on LinkedIn<\/strong><\/p>\n

A vanity URL is a domain name that points\u00a0to something to which it is related and indicated in the name of the URL. \u00a0For example,\u00a0http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/robertstarks<\/a> is the URL of my personal LinkedIn profile. \u00a0If you have a LinkedIn account and don’t know if you have a vanity URL, you can view your profile and check the URL displayed next to “public profile.” \u00a0If you haven’t claimed your LinkedIn vanity URL, you’ll likely see a string of random numbers and\/or letters making it very difficult to remember and not something you would want to put on your resume or business card. \u00a0To get a vanity URL, simply log in to your LinkedIn account. \u00a0Once signed in, in the upper right corner, hover the mouse over your name and you’ll get a drop down menu with two options including “settings,” and “sign out.” \u00a0Click on “settings,” and you’ll be taken to your account settings page. \u00a0Click on “Edit your public profile.” \u00a0Finally, click on “Customize your public profile URL.” \u00a0You can then create your vanity URL by simply typing the name you want and saving. \u00a0It’s that easy.<\/p>\n
