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)

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid advice in a fun format March 24, 2010

By Donna Lynn Shannon

Format:Paperback

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars How to Be a LinkedIn Rockstar August 25, 2010

By PJ Hummel

Format:Paperback

I had a chance to take a class given by the authors of this book. They're a very interesting and funny couple and they went through the basic book content in a fast paced hour and a half presentation. I have to admit I'm old-school and didn't understand LinkedIn and why I should care. After the presentation however, I was hooked and determined to become a LinkedIn Rockstar. I brought the book back to my office and had numerous staff members read over the steps. We will be launching our new and improved LinkedIn profile shortly. Thanks for all the great information presented in a fun and easy to understand way. I'm looking forward to your next book.

Best,
PJ
