A great way to drive traffic to your social media profiles is by adding them to your Gmail signature. The benefit of adding the social media icons in your Gmail signature is more exposure and brand awareness. This step by step tutorial will guide you in three easy steps in creating custom social media icons to place in your Gmail signature. 

I have compose the workaround in order to get the icons uploaded to your Gmail Signature since they Gmail does not allow to upload your own images.

Using this tutorial will help you link Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest, and so many more. Let’s get started….

1. Find Social Media Icons On  Iconfinder

The first step is to find the social media icon you’ll be placing on your signature on Iconfinder.com Search for example, “Twitter” and set the size slower to 0-32px.

    Hi Nancy,

    Thank you for the tutorial. I had social media button in my gmail signature, but a few days ago, the icons disappeared. In their place are generic image boxes. The link still work to my social media sites, but the logos are no longer visible. I tried to just add them back by using your tutorial, but when I put the social media icon in my signature and then select it, there is no option to change it and add my social media url. Any suggestions?

    Thank you,
    Linda

    • Hello Linda,

      Thank you for the wonderful feedback. I am sorry your having issues adding the media icons. When you add the social media icon you have to hover on top of the icon then from the menu bar the picture with a link were it lets you add your Url to make the picture a hyper link. I hope this helps. If not, please reach out to me on my contact form and I will be more than happy to help.
