Linkedln Success Secrets

There has never been a Linkedin Guide like this.
Success Secrets is not about the ins and outs of Linkedin. Instead, it answers the top questions that we are asked and those we come across in forums, our consultancy and education pro grams.

It tells you exactly how to deal with those questions, with tips that have never before been offered in print.

This book is also not about Linkedin's best practice and standards details. Instead, it introduces everything you want to know to be successful with Twitter.
