5 minutes. 4 steps. Get found on Linkedin by email address

Email & Linkedin: Invest the 5 minutes

Email addresses. We all have one. Most of us have several. And it’s those emails that some people use to find you on Linkedin.

STEP 1: List –  Make a list of all the email addresses you’ve ever given to anyone. Include all emails that might be in one of your contact’s address book and you can still access. Don’t forget those whose incoming email automatically forwards to your main email address.

• Personal Emails
• Work Emails
• Gmail email addresses
• Emails you manage as part of your volunteer work

Step #2: Look – Compare that list to what’s already on your Linkedin Profile

• Go to Settings (upper right corner) and then click on Email to see the list.
• One of the emails will be identified as “primary” — the one you use to sign into Linkedin and the email where Linkedin notifications are sent.
• Are all the email addresses you have on the list?

Step #3:  Update — ADD Email Addresses to your Linkedin Profile Settings

• Go to Settings (upper right corner) and then click on Email
• Fill out the form & click “Add Email Address”
• Repeat as needed

Step 4: Verify  – Linkedin needs to make sure you control those added emails.

• Check your email inbox. Linkedin will have sent you a confirming email to the email address you just added.
• Click the confirmation link.
• Repeat for each new email address you added.
