From the Desk of Nate Kievman

Dear Business Owners, Marketers, and Job Hunters:

MySpace, Facebook, Twitter€¦

Just reading those names conjures up images of happy people chatting… laughing€¦ reconnecting.

Be my friend… Write on my wall… Follow me, follow you.

So much fun, so much to get done! You could spend hours a day, if you’ve got nothing better to do.

And – despite what some people want you to believe – those visions rarely include big bucks, hot prospects, or new business.

Social networking sites are a great way to get your name bouncing around the Internet up your recognition and boost your credibility level a couple of points.

But how many people do you actually know who have achieved a strong return on investment for the time they’ve spent? And no, hooking up with your best friend from 5th grade or your long lost high school sweetheart doesn’t count when it comes to making money!

And don’t start listing all the big name guru’s who promote their eBooks and programs.  I’m not saying they aren’t telling the truth, but if they’re already an Internet celebrity, it’s a whole different ball game, isn’t it.

What social marketing means for most people is spending hours each day thinking up witty comments and comebacks that position you as a knowledgeable and engaging expert in your field – without sounding like you’re selling anything. All in hopes that one or two people will be interested enough to contact you privately.

Sounds exhausting and not very effective.  But that’s the reality of it for many.

And I know this from research, and more importantly, personal experience.

I remember the expectations when I first caught social marketing fever.  I was going to rule the Internet and have customers beating a path to my door.

But, after spending weeks and weeks on the various sites, all I had to show for the countless hours I invested were lots of great friends and acquaintances and almost zero dollars. There was a lead here and there, but turning those into cash was no easier than a cold call.

I calculated the earnings per hour spent to acquire one client who I had found through Facebook and it worked out to be less than minimum wage.  I was so frustrated by then that I gave up on social networking altogether.

At most, I’d respond to people who reached out to me or occasionally read comments, but reading about all the money to be made through social marketing only made me groan.  My LinkedIn profile remained untouched for months.

Yet I kept seeing people put out product after product claiming to show people how to make money using social networking. What was going on? What was I missing? It was so frustrating.  I decided to find out the truth.

Makes Perfect Sense Now, Doesn’t It

I started by asking questions whenever talking with business associates, friends, and other social networkers.  Much of it during casual conversation.  People were eager to talk about the different sites and tell me about their experiences.  And it didn’t take long for a pattern to emerge€¦

There were certainly business people who used the different sites to build their credibility and gain exposure.  And a few who shared some stories about how they made some money while doing so.  But time and time again, the focus quickly shifted to finding lost friends, classmates, and former co-workers.

When I heard the occasional story about generating income, connecting with prospects, or finding a new job they were ALMOST ALWAYS talking about LinkedIn.  And when I started getting down to the €œnuts and bolts€ of things, it was easy to see why€¦

The founders of these social networking sites created them with the idea that people would join to stay in touch with friends and family and connect with other members who share the same interests.  Hardly a road map to prosperity for the members€¦

Just take a look at the mission of each website€¦

MySpace was a pioneer of social networking sites.  Who hasn’t had a MySpace page at one time or another?

I enjoy using Facebook, but their mission is so vague.  It started out as a way for students attending the same college to connect online and grew from there.

Because of recent changes, I believe there are more possibilities to use it for business than most people have discovered.  In fact, my team and I are testing out some very creative strategies right now.  And I’ll be talking about those in the near future!

Twitter is huge right now, no doubt.  And I’ve gotten a few leads from there myself.  If you can manage your time and not get sucked into the Twitter Zone, learning to write in sound bites is a great marketing skill.

But bottom line NONE of these sites were conceived or promoted as a business networking resource for users. So finding it difficult for even the most savvy entrepreneurs and job seekers to use a social networking site to meet their business goals really isn’t surprising.  It’s like trying to make a buck while attending a friend’s party or your 15-year high school reunion.

How well do you think that would go over?

Think you could make it work?

Would you even want to try?

Now that doesn’t mean it isn’t possible, but in all my research (and experience) it was rare to find someone who could prove a substantial business success from social networking and it was even more rare that the income it generated was recurring.

So What’s The Answer?

Gathering all of this information was eye opening.  And thankfully, it not only showed me what didn’t work it showed me what did€¦

Early on a few people mentioned LinkedIn. They talked about getting solid job leads and being contacted by prospects in need of their product or service.

It was clear from what just about everyone I spoke with said that using LinkedIn for business was easier and more effective. Rarely did someone complain that they spent hours on the site and saw nothing in return.

In fact, it was all pretty clear cut the more time they invested on LinkedIn, the more results they received in return.  And over time, I identified some people as LinkedIn Power Users.  People who discovered ways to use LinkedIn that gave them powerful and quantifiable results such as:

	Five- and six-figure business deals
	Job offers that bumped them several steps up the corporate ladder
	Recurring revenue streams that operated on auto-pilot
	Scores of highly targeted website traffic
	Direct access to thousands and even tens of thousands of new prospects

And another surprising fact was that people were not spending countless hours blindly reaching out to anyone and everyone that would listen.  Their actions had specific targets that resulted in highly effective marketing efforts.

So, I was definitely curious about the difference.  Why were people seeing results on this networking site and not the others?

Although I had a set-up a LinkedIn account, I hadn’t been there in months.  In fact, until I went to research the site myself, I had forgotten I even set one up.

Even so, I didn’t even have to log in to discover the #1 reason.  Take a look at LinkedIn’s mission compared to the sites above€¦

When I first started looking into all of this, everyone (myself included) lumped these sites together and called all of them social networking sites.  But you only have to read LinkedIn’s mission to see that they are truly a business networking site.  Not that people aren’t social on LinkedIn, but it’s certainly easier to further yourself and your business on a website whose mission is to do just that!

See, when you talk about creating an income using social marketing, you are really talking about getting new business or finding a new job using a community-oriented website.  But by the very definition of social networking, it means that the vast majority of people join for fun and not to have someone connect with them for financial gain.

But joining a business networking site means you take out a lot of the €œwalking on eggshells€ you have to do on the other sites to try to generate business without annoying everyone.  Of course, that doesn’t mean you can spam people, blindly pitch all of your connections, or resort to non-stop selling but with a networking site designed specifically to help you accomplish your business goals, the possibilities are endless.

Making It Happen

Armed with these newly uncovered strategies and some I came up with myself, I returned to LinkedIn and started applying them step-by-step.

I was blown away by the results.  And there isn’t anything I did that you couldn’t do too!

While investing an average of just 15 30 minutes a day using all the Linked Into Marketing methods, imagine if you could:

	Create several recurring income streams that consistently bring in more than $5,000 each and every month.(What would you do with that extra $ each month? Pay off bills, buy a new car, take a trip, or save, save, save?)
	Partner with a respected expert in an associated industry for a joint venture that generates just under $27,000 in sales in less than 60 days
	Receive 3 high-paying corporate job offers (yes, even in this economy!)
	Assemble an Advisory Board of highly respected professionals for your business that give you instant credibility, priceless masterminding resources, and results in several lucrative partnerships!
	Regularly get your message in front of more than 100,000 LinkedIn users to generate an endless supply of warm leads
	Quickly become a recognized and sought after expert in your market and have people beating a path to your door. Well, I accomplished all of the above and more for myself and for clients.  And as I mentioned in the video, I’m not some Ivy League grad-type that was born into a family business and I haven’t spent years at IBM or Microsoft.

I’m simply a guy with a strong work ethic, a sincere determination to succeed, and a powerful desire to help others along the way.  If I wasn’t 100% certain these strategies will work for you, I would NEVER promote them.

Now of course there is no way to guarantee that you’ll have these EXACT results, but I can promise you that everything you’ll discover has been proven to work by me, by the Power Users I’ve studied, and by my clients who pay thousands of dollars to spend the day with me to learn everything you can find out right here in the newest edition of LinkedIntoMarketing.

Tip Of The Iceberg

There are too many strategies, tricks, and tactics to cover them all here.  Linked Into Marketing is overflowing with them.  And there are case studies, step-by-step action lists, and example after example too.

You can read it cover-to-cover or focus in on the sections and methods that work best for you.

If you’d hire me to lead you through this personally, you’d have to cover my daily rate (which is in the thousands) for a full 5 days to go over everything included inside.

Every client who pays for one-on-one coaching agrees that it is money well spent.  Each one sees a substantial and immediate return on investment.  Whether you are job hunting, marketing your business, or both, these methods work and work fast (if you apply them).

Imagine finally landing that dream job (and at a dream salary)€¦

Or gaining 10, 15, or even 25 new clients from a brand new pool of hot prospects€¦

Or partnering with other successful entrepreneurs to create lucrative joint ventures that give you a continuous cash flow.

This is what makes LinkedIn the #1 €œzero cost€ business networking site in the world. Market yourself and your business the right way and you’ll be smiling all the way to the bank WITHOUT shelling out one red cent in advertising.

Market the wrong way (what does your profile REALLY tell others about you?  How do you approach that CEO or Hiring Manager?) and it can cost you big time.

You never know how many of your friends, clients, potential employers, and even your competition will check you out.  Like I said, there are over 39 MILLION LinkedIn members with over 85,000 new sign ups every single day. Can you afford to take that risk?

That very thought has caused people to tell me they were going to cancel their membership.  They were so worried about looking foolish or unprofessional that they’d rather run away from a loaded gold mine, than learn the right way to prospect.

If you’ve thought about signing off for good, you certainly can.  But when a potential boss or client starts poking around the Internet before making their final decision, what will that do for you especially if your competitors are already making a name for themselves.

And how many hot jobs or hungry clients will you miss out on altogether because they networked on LinkedIn for referrals, but you were nowhere to be found?

Hopefully you can see why every business owner, marketer, and career-oriented person should be using LinkedIn. And the high price you might pay if you are not.

Everything you need to know to quickly and easily become a LinkedIn Superstar and reap all the benefits is at your fingertips.

This can mean thousands and thousands of dollars in revenue, increased salary and benefits, and high-profile exposure.

I could limit all this insider marketing plans to my clients and protect my six-figure coaching revenue, but my calendar is jammed full.  I simply can’t take on any more work.

In fact, the recurring revenue streams I am blessed with from using these very same approaches, has allowed me to set my work schedule around my life rather than my life around my job.  My wife and I have a brand new baby (our third) and I want to be more involved than ever.

While people who have already bought this book told me they would have gladly paid $197 or more to add it to their marketing arsenal, I want to keep the price down.  I know there are good people out there who have suffered financially over the last year and who can use LinkedIn to bounce back.

If you are out of work, worried about being out of work, or looking for ways to market on a shoe string budget, then this offer is for you.

Act right now and save $130!

You can have instant access to the full version of the newly updated (and expanded)
