Tips for LinkedIn Custom url
The purpose of URLs is to make it fast & easy to get to you.
So a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG URL isn’t going to help you.
Aim for 15 characters or less (then you can also get a Twitter account with the same vanity URL)..

Select a good url and stick with it.
Whenever you change your URL, you’ll lose people who have you bookmarked as well as breaking any links you have created elsewhere to your personal profile.
