I got a message from a friend in New Jersey recently:

I was visiting my daughter in Vermont and saw your book at the local B&N.  Just for a smile I took one of my business cards and stuck it between a page where you used one of my quotes.  Thought whoever bought that copy might wonder how the heck that appeared.

Very clever on slipping your business card in there, I think that is hillarous!

But guess what – NEVER did I expect my book to be in a bookstore!  WOW! I asked my publisher about it and here is his response:

… if there is enough foot traffic at the store itself or in the region, either the store or regional book buyer will place an order with either of the two distributors we have our books in that do supply books to bookstores and libraries

I like it!  So when YOU ask the bookstore, or a library, for LinkedIn for Job Seekers, they can decide to order it in.  Next time you are in one try it out

Back in February my publisher booked a presentation for me in Silicon Valley and snapped this picture. I think we had about 80 people in this very small room – props to the 20 or so who were standing during the entire presentation (something I hate to do).

I’ve started my next project, which is a book on how to actually get financial return from using LinkedIn.

This is not a “get rich quick on LinkedIn book,” nor is it a “use LinkedIn to exploit your network” book.

There is a lot happening on LinkedIn, people are making deals, doing business, making sales, etc.  I want to share what they are doing and how they are doing it.

And I’m still looking for stories!  Do you have any stories on making money because of something you did on LinkedIn?  Or do you know anyone who did something on LinkedIn that resulted in revenue?

Let me know, I’d love to hear from you/them and hopefully include the stories in the book!  Just leave a comment and I’ll get back to you with instructions!
