How to Put a Link in an Email

Have you ever wanted to include a link in your email but didn't know how to make it clickable? Well read on to find out how to make a link clickable, it's easy!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. 
   Write your email first.

   Write your email up to the point where you want to insert a clickable link. You can write your entire email then go back and insert links, but it will save time to link as you go.

2. 
   Copy the URL that you want to make clickable.

   Copy the URL of the link that you want to include in your email. Highlight the word or words that you want to be "clickable" (when someone clicks the words it will open the website).

3. 
   Click the globe button to make your link clickable.

   Click the little button that is a globe with a link (looks like a paper clip) on it. This will bring up a window where you will paste the URL. Paste the URL into the right side. Hit okay. Now your link is clickable!

4. Finish your email. You can make as many clickable links in your email as you want.

Tips & Warnings

• If you want to remove a link that you have included, highlight the linked words then click the globe that has a broken link on it.
• This also works in just about any text editor available. If you're writing an article for another website, this will usually work.
