5.0 out of 5 stars Sandra Long is an outstanding LinkedIn Advisor.
Verified Purchase“LinkedIn for Personal Branding” is precisely what Sandra Long succeeds at in connecting with all of us who are fortunate to have this road map on our desks. The key word is right there in the book’s title. Personal. It may sound simple but it’s not. Just because we know who we are doesn’t mean we know how to best present ourselves to our respective business communities. Sandra Long takes a macro approach to understanding one’s personal brand. It’s no secret that while it is uniqueness that differentiates us, it is the way we choose to “sell” that specific quality (or qualities) that can create a winning brand. It will only win if it’s real, if it is honest. And this is where Sandra Long becomes a world-class mentor. Her writing is so honest and so intelligent it’s like reading a popular page-turner….except that it’s a LinkedIn manual? No way. It’s exactly what we all needed. Sandra Long helped me to re-approach my personal brand as a voiceover actor. I now have a deeper respect for my accomplishments and can see, of course, that I’m the only one who could have known it. My brand doesn’t feel like something cool that anyone could have chosen from a catalog; instead, it’s an honest reflection of what I’ve accomplished because, well, I’m me. I highly encourage everyone to take a seat in Professor Long’s classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars An A to Z Guide on How to Define and Amplify Your Personal Brand on LinkedIn to Achieve Your Goals
Verified PurchaseSandra Long has written the definitive guide to personal branding on LinkedIn. The author provides an A to Z overview of how to establish and amplify your “best you” persona (what you want to be known for--knowledge, skill and personality) on the world’s biggest professional online community.
In her thorough review of all LinkedIn sections, she offers both strategic advice and practical tips to help the reader create their winning profile and establish their presence through content creation and relationship-building. I learned so much about the foundations of branding and networking on LinkedIn.
Another highlight is the author’s guidance on the different brand-communicating activities, including posting articles, making mentions, and recommending and endorsing others. My biggest change is to spend more time liking and commenting on the other’s posts, something I only sporadically did because I didn’t see it as a way to express my personal brand. It is.
Sandra Long provides fresh perspectives on many new LinkedIn features, including the about essay, featured section and professional portfolio. The author shares and demonstrates how you can communicate your personal brand using this new functionality. Examples of profiles, including the author’s, illustrate the key points and helped me redesign my profile.
There is value for everyone in this book, from people looking to create a personal brand, extend the value they provide to their community, build awareness for their services, seek a job or find sales leads. It is a must-have resource if you want to create a professional, consistent, interesting and compelling personal brand on the largest professional online platform. Every chapter will give you ways to communicate your “best you” to achieve your goals. Why not invest in your future now?
