    With a membership of more than four hundred million, LinkedIn is one of those social media platforms that can increase your business or your frustrations—and quite possibly both. But let’s face it, with too many frustrations, chances are you won’t give LinkedIn the attention it requires in order to make it the useful tool it’s designed to be.

    Never fear! There is someone who can fix that for you so you can take full advantage of all this powerful platform has to offer.

    Let me introduce you to Debbie McCormick, LinkedIn expert and writer. Debbie knows all too well the roadblocks, mishaps, and blunders so many have made on LinkedIn, as she has experienced them all herself.
