My friend Lewis Howes (the guy with the best linkedin profile tips) and I have an ongoing conversation about the businesses wasting time on social media.
He holds that there is one sight that is pure business.. LinkedIn
I agree with that.
In this video, Lewis explains how he build a huge network of business professionals using, and taught others to do the same.
When I first met Lewis, he was networking but not known well. I was immediately impressed with his talent to find ways to help in every situation and provide what people in his network needed.
Lewis had just written his first short book with linkedin profile tips and I expected it to be the usual basics of linkedin networking and social media ideas shared by so many so called social media experts. I was immediately impressed though.. Lewis gets social networking and even in that first book went well beyond the usual yada yada.
Now Lewis speaks around the world about Linkedin. I’ve seen Lewis speaks, and watch many of his online video presentations. Unlike so many of the linkedin profile tips presentations, Lewis gets to the meat of using Linkedin for profitable business.
If you want profitable social media, and are ready to get down to business and avoid the games, I suggest you start following Lewis Howes.

There are so many profitable ways to build your business with social media… market research, customer service and prospecting. We share many of those ideas here.
But like Lewis says.. the pure business network is LinkedIn.
Go beyond the simple resume page and linkedin profile tips. You can use Linkedin.com smater and watch your business network explode.

On the radio show, we were talking to Peter Winick about author platforms.. how he leverages the content of authors and experts to create new streams of income.
Since many of the people I talk to about social media have specialized knowledge they use in their businesses, I know this goes well beyond books and thought you’d learn from what Peter shared.
Peter and I have combined forces to offer a very special program for author looking to learn how to make more money as so many best selling authors do.
