42 Rules

What’s it about?

Do you know how to use LinkedIn to achieve your business goals? There are millions of registered users on LinkedIn. Relatively few of them seem to have any real understanding of how to effectively use LinkedIn. With registered users on LinkedIn projected to grow to 70 million by the end of 2009, business professionals are searching for ways to leverage this new communication medium. Although Social Networking is exploding, there are very few resources that teach what users are craving – solutions to increase their desired business success.

42 Rules to 24-Hour Success on LinkedIn is a user-friendly guidebook designed to help you leverage the power of LinkedIn to build visibility, make connections and support your brand. There is a theory that everyone in the world is connected by no more than 6 people. You know who you are, but who else in this socially-networked world knows you?  This career book can help you answer those questions and more.

Author Chris Muccio is an award-winning entrepreneur who draws upon insightful experiences from his successful career in Corporate America to guide business leaders on the most effective strategies to uncover profit and growth opportunities resulting in rapid and sustainable improvements within their business.
