How to Add Social Media Icons into Your Email Signature

Have you seen email signature with social media buttons that links them to their social media pages? If yes, and wondered how to do that with your own signature then you are on the right place.

In this article we are gonna tell you how to incorporate social media buttons into your email signature in order to let your email contacts–whether they’re potential clients, customers, or hires–know that you’re active on social media. 
Here are step-by-step instructions for inserting professional, but fun social media buttons into your Gmail email signature (the steps for other email providers are very similar): 

Log in into your Gmail account 

• Hover over the “gear” icon and select “Settings”
• Under the “General” tab, scroll down to the email signature box
• Under your name and other contact information, select the “Insert Image” icon
• Find social media icons (Icon Archive and IconFinder have good selections, but you can also Google “free social media buttons“). Be sure to examine the copyright license to avoid any infringement before using any icons you find
• When you find social media buttons that you like, choose a size (we recommend 32 x 32), then right click on the image and select “Copy Image URL.” Go back to your email signature and paste the URL into the “Add an Image box.” If you’re satisfied with the image preview, click “OK”
• Next, highlight the icon you just inserted and click the link icon (the one that looks like a chain). Here, input the URL that you would like the user to go to if they click on one of your social media icons–for example, for a Twitter icon, we would enter http://www.twitter.com/AsukaviS
• Be sure to test the link. If problem-free, repeat the process for all social media icons you hope to include.

You’re done! Sit back, relax, and know that your email contacts now have an easy way of connecting with you on social media
