Be a LinkedIn Superstar!

Ever wished you could go from  the sidelines to being a LinkedIn Superstar, but didn’t think you had the know-how to transform your connections into a dynamic business network? I’d like to send you the chapter I wrote about how to do just that.

Although I’ve been mentioned in four books now, Success Secrets of the Social Media Marketing Superstars is the first book I’ve ever co-authored. As a co-author, you get to contribute. You, probably, like me, don’t get paid. You get a byline and a door open to publicity from making the inner circle, which in this case is truly humbling for me.

I’ll get to that part in a minute, but first I want to make one thing clear: everyone is a superstar at something.

Although this blog and the wiredprworks twitter account make some lists, I am not a superstar or a rock star or even kind of a big deal – unless you say so.

While I welcome new connections, the purpose of the relationships for me is to connect more people to information, to each other and to ways to improve business and life. So, that’s my “superstar” platform.

From the book . . .
