Tutorial of the Week – Using LinkedIn to Find New Contacts
It’s been a while since I’ve focused on social networking for the Tutorial of the Week series, but a recent post by Jason Moriber on the Dripbook blog got my attention.
If you’ve ever wanted to contact someone in a certain position at a company, such as an Art Director, then you might find this unique tutorial to be particularly useful, because it allows you to find out who is actually currently working in that position.
It’s called Using LinkedIn to Find New Contacts Using the Search Function, and it shares an effective way to seek out Art Directors and other professionals via their company profiles on LinkedIn.
If you’re looking to dig a little deeper into social networking, you’re not alone. More and more professionals are finding new ways of connecting with each other and doing business using the internet. This tutorial will help you to find more use in a site like LinkedIn, which can be a bit mystifying for new users.

My daughter registered me for LinkedIn because I asked her for help with getting the message out about my mystery series for children.
It’s fun and entertaining to read about other writers’ experiences. However, as far as getting the message out about my books, I have not yet seen any result.
My mystery series is for children 8 and above. The books are full of lively action, featuring two very smart heroines, perhaps the youngest detectives in fiction. Each story has a different cultural background. I also want to impart the importance of values, such as family relationships, friendship, loyalty, integrity, courage.
Hi Agnes,
Have you tried joining relevant groups on LinkedIn? This can be a good way to make contacts and spread your message.
Good luck,
Thomas
