Starting LinkedIn Guide Updated

This morning I updated my free downloadable guide, 5 Simple Steps for Getting Started on LinkedIn.

The biggest challenge of the updating process was restricting myself to the basics of getting started.

There is so much more to LinkedIn than is in this brief guide but I am convinced that those of us who have been using LinkedIn for a long time can easily underestimate how complex the platform can appear to people who have not had that experience.

Apart from anything else, LinkedIn does not have the most intuitive of user interfaces.

So the guide provides just five basic steps for getting up and running.

For those who want to explore further, the guide also has links to blog posts I’ve written about different aspects of operating on LinkedIn, such as how to use LinkedIn Groups.

Here is the link again to download a copy of the guide. I hope some people will find it helpful.
