How Do I Find My Unique Social Media URLs?

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with ActiveRain, Community Manager

Don't fret if you're not sure how to find your own url on social media sites.  They can be a little tricky, This post will help you easily get what you need from a few of the popular sites.

Social sites generate tons of traffic so it is important that you syndicate your content there.  We want as many eyes to catch your posts as possible.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

On the top right, you'll see a settings icon (it looks like a gear).  Click it and scroll down to Account Settings.  You'll see your username listed under your name.  This is your unique url for Facebook.  Anytime you place this link somewhere, it will take your readers to your page.  Looks like this:

 

If you don't like what you see, click 'edit' on the right and it will allow you to change your username, thus changing your unique url.  Here are a few guidelines you should read over before you change your username.  

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Go to your Twitter account settings.  Right there under your username you'll see your unique url.  Looks like this:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Once you're logged in, click the arrow next to your profile page on the top right.  You'll see the link for "My Channel" appear in blue.

Click it and you'll see your unique page url at the top:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Once you're logged in, hover your mouse over the Profile tab and then click 'Edit Profile' from the drop-down menu.  Directly under your photo you'll find your unique LinkedIn url.  Looks like this:

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

This one isn't as pretty as the rest.  Hover your mouse over the Home Icon on the left.  

   

A drop-down menu will appear and you'll want to click 'Profile' from here.  You'll then copy the url you see in your address bar.  Looks like this:

Not as pretty as the customizable ones you can make on other sites but that's the link you'll use.  You'll be hiding these urls behind social media icons so don't worry about the look of your web addresses.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 

Click your name on the top right which will bring up a drop-down menu like this:

From there, click 'Your Boards' and copy the url that appears in your address bar.  Looks like this:

If you have a specific Real Estate board, click that board from this page and you'll see your unique url change with it.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I hope this has cleared up any confusion you may have had.  I'll do my best to update this post as these sites may change their account settings at any time.  If you need help with anything or unclear on other sites, give us a ring at 1.888.643.3837.

i am trying to setup Google authorship on AR.  Tried to link my google+ account but the logins are not the same.  Didn't know this would be a problem when I set them up and now it appears it is a problem.  

How can I use one login on Google+, Facebook, linked in and another one on AR?

Richard & Bernadette - Each site has its own login.  Whether you choose to make the username/password the same for all sites is up to you.  Read this blog post on setting up Google Authorship and give us a ring at 888.643.3837 for any one-on-one help.  We're always here to help....well from 7-4pm Pacific :)

It would be nice to have the option to use a G+ page in place of the personal profile, like with Facebook.  My G+ page is where my real estate content is.

This was very helpful!! I thought I had everything under correct by doing it myself. Until I read this and realized all my links would link you to the sign in page of every account. Not my own page. Thanks for the easy step by step guide!!

Hi Kerrie,

thanks for the article. However, now with G+ retired, could we have that Slot modified to now accept the link to our Google Business page?

Thank you!
