Customizing your LinkedIn profile URL is another great way to make yourself more memorable.
You may have noticed that the default link to your LinkedIn profile is often unnecessarily long because it includes numbers, hyphens, and other characters.
However, you can customize your profile’s URL link to something shorter and more memorable.
Tapni’s custom link feature allows you to fully customize your link by replacing the URL with the text of your choice.
In addition, you can also include an image.
This way, instead of a long and complicated URL link, you can just have your name, surname, etc., which will ring more bells to your freshly made contacts.
