Great Guide Towards Taping into Real Technology Skills!, By
This review is from: Using LinkedIn (Paperback)
This book is for any small business owner who wants to tap into the power of LinkedIn. What I like about this book is that you walk away with real technology skills. Using LinkedIn by Patrice-Ann Rutledge tells me what I need to know about leveraging LinkedIn to the max. This is also one of the first books I've seen that has step-by-step video tutorials, web links and audio sidebar interviews with experts that you can download to create a customized learning experience. My favorite chapters for entrepreneurs are: Communicating with Your LinkedIn Network, Saving Time with LinkedIn Tools, Advertising on LinkedIn.Melinda Emerson "Smallbizlady" Author Become Your Own Boss in 12 Months: A Month-by-Month Guide to a Business that Works
The best book I've found on LinkedIn,

This review is from: Using LinkedIn (Paperback)
Patrica-Anne Rutledge doesn't miss a beat. I also like the the Safari Online Video supplements. I've been really using LinkedIn for the past 6 months when I thought I might need another job since our government contract wasn't being renewed. The book has helped me to ferret out some of the more not obvious aspects.
