Branded LinkedIn Links

December 1st, 2011 

Which looks better this or a branded link (below)

I love LinkedIn and honestly find more value on this one social media platform than just about any other. Especially in a world of business to business, it can be critical for success. Even if someone doesn’t connect with you they might still visit your page (you can tell, but more on that later) to get a sense of what you are about. That single visit can be the make or break for any effort you are involved in.

One of the easiest tricks to polish your page is to brand your links. LinkedIn provides generic terms for the different places you can be found. Company or personal website, portfolio, etc. Most simply choose one of these options and plug in the information. This give their page the same generic look as any other. But there is a way to provide a bit more personal brand to the look and feel of this section. It’s as easy as choosing “other”.

I’ve created a short video tutorial on how to accomplish this and posted it below. Feel free to post your questions, comments and own personal tips below.

    Hi there! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My blog looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone. I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able
    to correct this issue. If you have any recommendations, please
    share. With thanks!

    Thanks for your post on this blog site. From my own experience, periodically softening up
    a photograph may well provide the digital photographer
    with a little bit of an artsy flare. More often than not however,
    that soft cloud isn’t what precisely you had as the primary goal and can usually spoil an otherwise good image, especially if you consider enlarging this.

    Hi there this is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if
    you have to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding skills so I wanted to get guidance from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Here are my thoughts on the Durabrand Waffle Maker.
    The midnight Walmart Black Friday 2010 sales will include apparel, household goods and lots of toys.

    For scrambled eggs, add the eggs to the pie iron and close, holding over the campfire
    until eggs are done.

    Do not try stunts like brushing teeth with baking
    soda, because this only irreversibly abrades the surface of your teeth.
    As for the UV sanitizer, you can use it every day or just once a week.

    t have all day to work out (I sure don. Adjustable dumbbells come in handy when you need to
    transport them as well. To do this, start by sitting in an
    upright position and then holding two dumbbells in both hands,
    making sure that the palms are facing each other and your arms should be hanging at your sides.

    Purchase from local manufacturers if possible; if not, purchase
    direct from the manufacturer to ensure the most freshness – all-natural beauty products don’t contain chemical preservatives, so their shelf-life may be shorter than their conventional chemical-filled counterparts. A process that has been smoother, firmer, younger looking skin for over 50 years is the galvanic treatment. One of the products I bought is the Rooting Bear Rub.

    In the event of a zombie apocalypse, residents of Montevallo, AL should have
    an effective plan for dealing with the crisis. The victim, 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, is in critical condition-which is to be expected when
    someone literally eats your face. People will be taking Darwin’s Theory to the next level and may even slay you just for supplies.

    But, being laughed at while preparing for a possible zombie 2012 apocalypse,
    or other consequences of the end of the Mayan calendar
    is going to be worth it – when the unimaginable and previously comically impossible actually come to life.

    It was an aerosol can of either Barbasol or Colgate.
    Cleaning cartridges should be replaced every
    month or two (though we may be up to six weeks), which can make you a bit expensive for some people.

    On the back of the card that comes with the razor, it states that you should, “Change the cartridge when empty holes start to appear in the gel reservoir”.

    The only problem I see with this Braun Series 7 is that it is quite expensive for
    most. If you want to eliminate your hair bumps,
    and do not have money for laser surgery, try the following steps.

    Dull, dirty razor blades are the leading cause of nicks and cuts.

    I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the layout of your
    website? Its very well written; I love what youve got
    to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people
    could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text
    for only having 1 or two images. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Howdy would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m
    going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a difficult time choosing between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something
    completely unique. P.S Sorry for getting off-topic
    but I had to ask!

    Do you ever run into any web browser compatibility problems?
    A couple of my blog audience have complained about my website not operating correctly in Explorer but looks great
    in Chrome. Do you have any ideas to help fix this issue?
