How to add an External Link on LinkedIn

🛑 𝗤𝘂𝗶𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝘆! 😱

No wonder your LinkedIn content isn’t going anywhere…

I see this all the time.

People want to share information & include an external link to another site like YouTube or a website.

You are basically telling people to leave the platform & go somewhere else.

I was totally guilty of this as well until I figured out that LinkedIn will dock your views.

They will only show your content to a few people.

So how do you do it?

1. Direct people to look for the link in the comments
2. Be your own first comment
3. To remain top comment the comment needs a few “likes”

Other strategy is called copy, post, edit.

1. write your post copy "NO LINK"
2. Post it
3. wait a few minutes then edit post & include you link

For best results DO BOTH!

I will show you as an example on this post!

I am going to include a link to our WYK career transition Summit where we will teach you more LinkedIn secrets to get noticed by employers!

Thank GOD! You are the first person on YouTube that I have seen who actually gives clear and useful information about how to add a hyperlinks to Linkedin post. But this video would have been SO much better had you actually demonstrated how to do this using your computer screen. Try to visualize what you are say is just not possible for people unless they are already and expert on using Linkedin. Please consider making another video that shows both of these methods for adding hyperlinks to a Linkedin message using your computer screen.
