There are a couple of routes that users can take to get started with Linq.

Route 1

Without a Linq Product or Before Your Linq Product Arrives.

Steps:

  1. Download the Linq App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit linqapp.com/welcome.

  2. Sign in using a single-sign-on option or with your email.

  3. Enter your full name, an accessible email, and optionally, a mobile number. The email or mobile number will be used for login. Without a mobile number, you won’t have text-based login.

    1. To log in later or elsewhere, use the same sign in method you used to sign up.

  4. Add a Profile Photo, which will appear on your page and contact card when shared.

  5. Enter your Job Title, Organization/Company, Location, and Industry to display under your profile.

  6. You may be offered a free trial; this is optional and can be accessed later in the Menu tab.

  7. If you don’t have a product, you can skip the Product Activation step.

  8. You’ll now see the Home Screen with Quick Actions, For You content, How-To Videos, and rewards.

Complete your page setup to make it share-ready.
