Lewis Howes released a pretty fine product called LinkedInfluence.

In it, he covers how LinkedIn, which is basically a free tool, can be HYPER efficient as a lead-generation tool.

Click for my full Linked Influence review, or keep reading for the potted summary:

Linked Influence from Lewis Howes

Linked Influence is a step-by-step guide to using LinkedIn as a highly effective lead generation tool. It will show you how to increase your mailing list, position yourself as an authority, connect with people you thought were out of reach and pretty much eliminate the need for cold-calling.

Delivery is professional, clean, and in bite-size chunks.

As a direct result of implementing the strategies in Linked Influence, I have MASSIVELY increased my, er, influence on LinkedIn. I am connected to a ton more relevant people, have grown my email list and am using it to drive traffic to my site daily.

When I owned a recruitment company, LinkedIn was considered hot. I attended many training sessions on the best use of it. They cost multiples of Lewis’s training and taught only a fraction of what he shares here.

This product will make you money. Get it here.

It’s been put together as an A-Z, which is cute, but doesn’t add to the article.

BUT. Well worth checking out.
