I LOVE LinkedIn!

A Podcast Guest who KNOWS LinkedIn

It might sound crazy but I am passionate about LinkedIn. I’m the author of LinkedIn Profile Optimization For Dummies and LinkedIn Makeover: Professional Secrets to a POWERFUL LinkedIn Profile.

I am the pioneer of LinkedIn Profile Optimization and founded the very first LinkedIn profile writing service back in 2009. My company, Vision Board Media works with executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals from all over the world. Back in 2009, it was just me; we now have over 40 writers.

I speak all over the country on the topic of LinkedIn and how it relates to personal/professional branding, job search, sales & prospecting, and thought leadership.

I am active on both LinkedIn and Twitter with an extensive network on each. I am always happy to market your podcast to my network. Typically I begin marketing a week out and will send out 1 or 2 tweets per day leading up to the podcast. Once the podcast is live, I’ll tweet about it several times a day for a week or two and will continue to tweet out links occassionally for the long term.

Previous podcast Appearances

I’ve done a slew of podcast interviews! I love talking about LinkedIn, a subject that I am absolutely passionate about. There is no question that can throw me– I’ve heard and answered them all. And I never hold back information. I’ve been told many times that a short interview with me provides a better overview of LinkedIn than e-courses that cost hundreds of dollars. Your listeners will benefit from my knowledge and they’ll find themselves entertained as well.

From a podcaster

“Your episode performed above average. We see about 2,000 downloads in the first 30 days. You got about 2,500. Your monthly downloads after the first month have been higher, too, probably because you continue to promote the show. Most of our guests don’t do this.”
