Life of an Internet Entrepreneur

Testament to just how many social networking sites seem to have popped up in the last few years, Brad and Debra Schepp, husband and wife and co-authors of 18 other books aptly titled their latest book “How to Find a Job on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, and Other Social Networks“.

The 256 page book could not have come out at a better time, given the economy, and the relevance to 9.8% of Americans (and counting).

Taking from the skills undoubtedly sharpened over the last 18 books they wrote, Brad and Debra take a step by step, detailed look into how one can harness the power of social networking specifically to land a job or freelance work.

This exciting book has been on my reading list for quite some time. Steven D. Levitt and Stephen Dubner’s Freakonomics will open your eyes to the hidden aspects of all sorts of interactions by teasing out information with careful analysis of data through statistics and logic.

Levitt is considered one of the top Economists in the country, and Dubner has an easy-to-read style of writing which keeps you entertained as well as informed.

Some of the most interesting (and controversial) bits of information Levitt has in the book:

Legalizing abortion was the single most important event in lowering crime rates.
