?LinkedIn Tips
TIP 1
Top Card Hyperlinks?-?NEW!?For members who utilize?Creator Mode,?this new option, which you may not have received as yet, enables members to highlight a specific website at the top of their profile. Steps below are courtesy of Kevin D. Turner
???Open your Profile
???Click the ? in your Top card to the right of your Profile photo, just past the [In] icon
???When the [Edit intro] pop up appears scroll to the bottom of the options to the *[Website] option.
???Enter any full URL
???Watch for the [Customize Link] option box to appear and then add your custom definition of the URL, up to 30 spaces, that will be the hyperlink displayed.
???Click [Save]
This is a great way to emphasize a webpage of your choice! I'm using it now to display our 'Clients in 21 Countries' map.

* If you don't see the [Website] option, then your randomized wave of this staggered rollout hasn't happened yet, so please check back later. When you see it, you'll have it.
TIP 2
The automation provided by 3rd party companies is a?violation?of the LinkedIn User Agreement .?Some of these firms are boldly claiming that they have the endorsement of LinkedIn and that incorporating their software to speed the process of invitations, auto-responses, etc. is acceptable.?THIS IS NOT TRUE!?Take a moment to look at this page of?LIUA Section 8.2.2 ?Quite simply, automation of this type not only looks bad, but it diminishes the start of an earnest effort to begin a professional relationship that may turn into business or lead you to business, later.?Just don't do it!?
TIP 3
A reminder to always write your profile?About?section in?first person tense!?Proven by LinkedIn's research to provide the best initial perception when read by Viewers of your profile. It's the start of developing the 'know-like-trust' factor.
