·         How to customize your URL:

·        How to publish an article:
LinkedIn’s self-publishing platform was opened up to its users in 2014 and gives people a wide audience to publish their content. If you are already writing a blog for your website each week, why not also post it on LinkedIn? You want to be recognized as a subject matter expert and industry thought leader. LinkedIn’s powerful publishing platforms can help you do that. Note: currently companies ca not publish long-form posts using their organization’s name or publish from their Company Page, but individual members can.

·         Understanding where, why, and how many project samples to upload:
You can enhance your LinkedIn profile page by displaying samples of your work on your profile such as blogs you’ve written, presentations you’ve done, PowerPoints, website screenshots, brochures, graphic design work, photography, videos, etc. Items can be added, edited, moved or removed from your Edit Profile page. There is no limit on the number of documents you can upload or the total length of your profile, but not all document types are supported.
