Upwork don run many newbies street. 😂 If you know what's good for you, start taking LinkedIn seriously. 30 days of intentional networking, positioning and visibility on LinkedIn can put you in front of your first potential client. But you have to be strategic about it. Here are a few things you should start doing: 1. Optimize your LinkedIn profile. Your headline, banner, About section and Featured section should communicate what you do, who you help and the results you can deliver. 2. Stop sending random connection requests. Identify your ideal clients and connect with people who can actually hire you or influence hiring decisions. 3. Take commenting seriously. Everyone knows this already. Don't just drop "Great post" under people's content. Leave thoughtful comments that demonstrate your expertise. Make people curious enough to visit your profile. 4. Target one ICP at a time. Don't try to sell your services to everybody. If you're a copywriter targeting SaaS founders, focus on SaaS founders. Understand their problems and speak directly to them. 5. Write case studies. Show people what you've done, the problems you solved, the strategies you implemented and the results you achieved. Don't just tell people you're good at what you do. Give them reasons to believe you. 6. Build relationships with CMOs, CEOs and marketing managers. These are people who may have the budget and authority to hire you. Start conversations. Engage with their content. Let them become familiar with your name. 7. Post consistently. Share educational content, industry insights, personal experiences, lessons from projects and breakdowns of how you solve problems. Give people a reason to remember you. 8. Use your Featured section as a portfolio. Add your best writing samples, previous projects, case studies, testimonials and relevant work. Make it easy for potential clients to assess your abilities. 9. Send personalized DMs. Don't jump into someone's inbox with "Hello, I'm a copywriter. Do you need my services?" Build context around your outreach. Identify a problem you can help solve and communicate how. 10. Follow up. Some clients won't respond to your first message. That's fine. Follow up professionally without becoming desperate or annoying. 11. Study your potential clients. Understand their businesses, products, marketing strategies and target audiences. The more you understand their problems, the easier it becomes to position your services. 12. Ask for recommendations and testimonials. If you've worked with clients before, ask them to recommend you on LinkedIn. Social proof can make a huge difference when someone is considering hiring you. And please, don't make the mistake of treating LinkedIn like another platform where you just post and disappear. LinkedIn is a networking platform. Build relationships, demonstrate your expertise, become visible to decision-makers and make it easy for people to hire you. Give yourself 30 days of intentional effort. Your next client might not come from another job application. It might come from someone who has been reading your comments for three weeks. 😂
