Event Details
Today, if you do are not using LinkedIn effectively, you are not really "in business." Learn from Bruce Bixler how to use social media, especially LinkedIn, to promote yourself and your business.

So, it is the perfect platform for marketing yourself and your business.
The key question today is: Are you using LinkedIn effectively?
