Using Linked In to find freelance work

Feb 26, 2015 by jgordon@unitedmediaguild.org

Freelancers can use Linked In to find new clients — if they maximize the value of this social media tool.

The Freelancers Union offered this advice:

Most clients aren’t just looking for a generic copywriter or marketer. They’re looking for someone with specialized experience in their particular field.

Be careful that you’re not being convoluted about what you did. Make it easy: describe what you do in keywords. Put a few keywords in your bio. When you describe gigs, use keywords.
