How to figure out your LinkedIn Public Profile URL and customize it.

Customizing a LinkedIn Public Profile URL is a very easy task.

Steps:

1. Login to your LinkedIn account.

2.Move your cursor over Profile at the top of your homepage and select Edit Profile.


3.Click the URL link under your profile photo. It will be an address like   www.linkedin.com/in/yourname



4. You will be redirected to Edit My Public Profile Page. On the right hand side you can see 'Customize Your Public Profile'. Below it you can see another section 'Your Public Profile URL'. This is our section of concern.

5. Click on the pen/pencil like thing beside your URL to edit your URL. Type the new part of your custom URL.

6.Click Save. If all goes well this will be your new custom LinkedIn Profile URL. This is the URL you can use to share your LinkedIn Profile on the websites.


Things to Note:
  • Your custom URL can have 5-30 letters or numbers. Don’t use spaces, symbols, or special characters.
  • If the URL you want isn't available, please select a different one. We can’t make custom URLs available to other members upon request.
