I spent all of my time on Facebook. I am not looking or a job. My referrals come from my friends, family, people that see or talk to me on a regular basis through twitter and facebook updates. The audience is bigger on facebook and that's where my target market chooses to hang out. But maybe I have to give Linkedin a shot. Good suggestions. Thanks for the update.

LinkedIn will soon become the most effective way of building your professional career and creating a personal brand. However, one will have to invest time in learning the effectiveness of this site and ways to use it properly. In addition to the above tips, I would also suggest a new book called "How to REALLY use LinkedIn" by networking expert Jan Vermeiren.
