In my last video, I gave you a little preview of what’s inside our brand-new book, “Make LinkedIn Work for You, A Practical Handbook for Lawyers and Other Legal Professionals,” but today I’d like to talk about some different approaches to how you might use this book, since it may be a bit different from what you’re used to.

While we would love it if everyone read the book cover to
cover, we know everyone is busy and that approach probably isn’t the most
practical for most people.

The first thing I recommend is that you read this book with
LinkedIn open in front of you, whether that’s on a laptop or desktop computer
or on your mobile device. This is the fastest and easiest way to take action and
to get a real-time idea of what we’re talking about when we go through the
different elements on LinkedIn. We purposely did not include screenshots in this
book because they change so frequently, but it can be helpful to be looking at
LinkedIn while you’re reading.

Since this book is a combination of discussion about
high-level strategy for your use of LinkedIn and practical, hands-on tips, I’m
going to also recommend that you either keep a notes app open on your device or
have a piece of paper and a pen handy so that you can make notes about some of
the goals you want to accomplish, such as making a list of the kinds of people
or businesses you want to connect with on LinkedIn so that you have it to refer
to later.

I’ll give you some more tips about how to get the most out of the book in a future video. But if you don’t already have your copy, you can find it on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle versions, and it makes a great gift for the legal professional – or really, any business person – in your life.

Please leave me a comment to let me know how you liked the
book and how you have been using it!
