“For brands, it provides a platform to reach a highly targeted audience of professionals and decision-makers and establish relationships with them by sharing relevant content and showcasing their products and services. it’s a crucial tool for individuals to build a strong personal brand and establish themselves as a thought leader in their industry, leading to increased visibility, credibility, and career opportunities”. Damilola says.
On her thought process for writing the book. Damilola says she got the idea through the Holy Spirit, and was encouraged by some of friends. She then took a structured approach to write the book, starting by outlining the chapters and adding subtitles to them. This allowed her to have a clear vision for what she wanted to achieve with the book.

People have appreciated the fact that they were able to learn new things about LinkedIn and that the book provides clear and self-explanatory information. She also added that the feedback suggests that her book is serving its purpose as a comprehensive resource for people looking to effectively use LinkedIn.
“My goal for this book is to help individuals and brands effectively use LinkedIn to build their personal brand, establish their presence and authority in their industry, and reach their professional goals. By providing comprehensive and actionable advice on how to navigate LinkedIn, I hope to empower others to succeed on the platform.” – Damilola F. Badmus.
