If you're one of LinkedIn's 40 million members, make sure you're getting the most from your profile. LinkedIn lets you list up to three URLs in your profile and you do not have to use the default labels.
Under "Profile," click "Edit My Profile," and then scroll down to "Websites." You can then add or edit the URLs. Their labels are:
My website
My company
My blog
My RSS feed
My portfolio
However, the final choice (Other) is the one you want. When you choose "Other," you can enter a better description, like:
Culinary camp for kids
Strategic planning videos
Elder care legal services
Discount eveningwear
Award-winning architect
Limit your new label to approximately 30 characters so it won't get cut off on your profile page. You can link to your website, blog, YouTube channel, Facebook Page, or any web address beginning with http.
This is an easy way to encourage click-through on the links on your LinkedIn profile. Put your profile URL in the in the comments and let's see your new labels.
