Book Description

Publication Date: February 1, 2010

When you read this book, devoted entirely to your LinkedIn Profile, you will learn how to show yourself as the rockstar that you are! We show you step-by-step how to develop the multi-platinum LinkedIn presence you have always wanted. Throw in a little classic rock to make it extra interesting and... Well, you get the idea: inspiration!

This is no ordinary LinkedIn book. Each section of your LinkedIn profile is related to classic rock lore. Remember the Eagles, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix? How about Michael Jackson, Def Leppard, or the Carpenters? Their lyrics foreshadowed what we now call Social Networking.

Listen to the radio while you read the book - it was written under the influence of rock; it should be experienced under the influence of rock.

HOT NEWS - This is the ONLY LinkedIn book that includes the NEW LINKEDIN USER INTERFACE (unveiled Jan 2010). We also included the hot TWITTER INTEGRATION and great Twitter/LinkedIn communication strategies.

This book will make you a Rockstar on LinkedIn in a weekend. It's an easy and FUN read. Visit rocktheworldbook.com. Share your favorite song, cartoon, or memory stirred while reading.

How's that for an inspirational how-to book? Rather than just joining dozens of other books built around a textbook format: "We Will, We Will Rock You!" (Queen)

I highly recommend buying this book, it is an easy, captivating read. Extremely useful and accurate information is provided in the book. A great overall value for the price.

Networking is an ongoing process, and this book makes it fun. I found it easy to implement the advice given and quickly realized success as a result:

- My first level Connections tripled four days after sending out Invitations
- My profile turns up in more searches per day now than it did on a monthly basis before
- Many renewed business relationships with people I had lost track of.

Read this book cover to cover, then implement everything talked about inside. It will help you find answers to challenges you face today with the help of your Linkedin network, create new professional relationships for future work or business, renew old professional relationships, and remain in control of your information.

This is a great book on the LinkedIn society. While it covers a lot of the basics in detail, there is enough advanced knowledge and insightful tricks that even an experienced social networker like myself was able to get real value on several fronts.

I never understood the importance of the LinkedIn profile until I read this book. With logical structure and useful illustrations, O'Neil and Ruff lay out the steps one needs to take to create a profile that makes LinkedIn immensely more valuable. If you want to effectively use LinkedIn, you should read this book.
