Biography
People started calling me ♦The LinkedIn Guy♦ after sharing tip after tip on how to use LinkedIn™ to generate more referrals at my networking group.
LinkedIn is a gold mine - when you know how to use it.✔ Unfortunately, most new users will soon become discouraged, frustrated and stop using LinkedIn. The reason for this is that there is a huge learning curve and very little effective guidance
There's a big difference between being on LinkedIn and MONETIZING LinkedIn. If you want LinkedIn to be more than a parking place for your resume, you must be very strategic.
►This is where I really make a difference!◄
I have spent 100's of hours using, learning and teaching LinkedIn. I wish there would have been someone like me guiding me. It would have saved me a lot of time AND it would have prevented me from making some serious mistakes. You can take advantage of this and capitalize on MY learning curve.
I help you turn LinkedIn into one of your most valuable assets. I show you WHAT to do, HOW to do it and most importantly, WHY you must do certain things to be successful. There are many hidden opportunities on LinkedIn that will take you months (if ever) to discover. I'll guide you there right away.
In addition, there are several major mistakes that people constantly make on LinkedIn. A few of them can even have your account suspended. Most of these mistakes can be avoided with a little information.
I am the author of ♦LinkedIn Power♦ - www.LinkedinPower.com This 15-video series teaches you exactly what you need to do to generate success on LinkedIn.
