When it comes to social media, LinkedIn is probably the one that is misused the most.

If you have a LinkedIn profile, I’m pretty sure you have taken some time to add your education, your current job occupation and previous professional experiences. You have probably added some skills and have started to connect with former classmates and co-workers too.

You see, most of the people use LinkedIn just like that, as a sort of online CV and portfolio where they can showcase their work experience and expertise.

If that’s how you see LinkedIn (you’re not alone, I was using it like that too!), I have got some news for you: you’re missing out BIG TIME.

In this podcast episode, we’re going to discuss how entrepreneurs and small business owners can get the most out of LinkedIn and turn their profile into a magnet for attracting and building relations with potential customers.

Social media marketing and LinkedIn expert, author and speaker Melonie Dodaro of TopDogSocialMedia.com stops by the podcast to talk about how to master LinkedIn by crafting a killer LinkedIn profile, creating a LinkedIn social selling funnel and much, much more.

As you will see, LinkedIn is also an excellent tool for lead-generation!
