(Newswire.net — September 4, 2013) Syracuse, NY —
Forbes recently reported LinkedIn’s plans to raise about $1 billion in a share offering. As its stock trades near an all-time high, the company feels that now is the time to cash in on the site’s popularity and success.
The website, launched in May 2003, has more than 225 millions user in over 200 countries and territories using the platform for recruiting, reputation management and branding. Individuals find themselves using the site to look for jobs, connect with old coworkers and classmates and even generate leads for their own business.
The announcement of stock sales is just one example of the two-way street inherent to a business platform such as LinkedIn. Unlike its social network cousins, Facebook and Twitter, LinkedIn is predominately used as a tool for businesses and individuals to make money. The powerful platform for online business networking has lead to the creation of many summits, courses, and books giving insight into how to best harness the power of such a network.
A new webinar, complete with video and informational PDF, helps individuals learn how to most effectively gain leads from the website. Created by internet marketers Jonathan Green and Greig Wells, The Missing Link is a crash course in lead generation that proves to be valuable to a wide range of business models. Green and Wells recently spoke at the Rockstar Summit, a local marketing summit held in Las Vegas and have produced several other webinar type products including Flyer Domination, Webinar Smasher, and Six Hour Product Expert. After perfecting their LinkedIn Lead-generating strategy for six years, the duo is now selling the course for just $7. Cheap compared to the price of a stock in LinkedIn, and another example of how LinkedIn earnings are a two way street.
Wells is known for his LinkedIn expertise and has spoken at several summits and conferences including the Rockstar Summit. He is the author of LinkedIn Insider Secrets to your Job Search. Green runs a hugely successful marketing empire by generating leads both locally and online and is the owner of organicconsultingsolutions.com
