How to Add Link to the Introduction Section of Your LinkedIn Profile
In this article we explore how to add a link to the introduction section of your LinkedIn profile.
When you activate ‘Creator Mode’ via your LinkedIn profile, you can add a link in the introduction section of your LinkedIn profile. It’s just like the ‘link in bio’ option on Instagram, which means some creators are using this feature to point readers to a ‘menu of options’. This is a feature currently available to all LinkedIn members with free or premium accounts.

Custom Button on LinkedIn Profile
As a Premium Business subscriber, you can add a custom button to your profile. The custom button will link to the URL of your choice and can be edited or deleted anytime. This feature is only available to a select group of LinkedIn Premium Business subscribers.
You can choose to add one of these options as a custom button:
- Visit my store
- Visit my website
- View my portfolio
- View my blog
- Book an appointment
- Request services
Once added, the custom button is displayed on your LinkedIn profile, search results, messages and feed. LinkedIn advises that adding a custom button will replace the profile link available to members who have creator mode turned on.
