In case you didn't already notice, LinkedIn has slowly been growing and mimicking the same patterns we've seen with Facebook and Instagram. It's turned from a place to put your resume into an actual home base for business professionals, C-Level Executives, and other serious business players to hang out and exchange value. This allows anyone with an internet connection the ability to get in front of their target audience for free, and build reputation, influence, and generate inbound leads at no cost - with only minutes a day invested. 


But as time passes, this opportunity is getting smaller and smaller as LinkedIn has begun to capitalize on its popularity. Soon we'll be seeing more ads, more sponsored content, more barriers to get in front of your target audience unless you pay money. 


And that's precisely why you NEED to learn the platform now and POUNCE before the algorithm starts to take from your free organic reach slowly. 


 join Estie Rand and Joe Apfelbuam at the Annual LinkedIn Influencer Summit, where 8 top LinkedIn Influencers will share their proven systems for going viral, hacking the algorithm and closing deals to give you the best head start in 2020!
