How I find jobs on LinkedIn + new jobs
|
Has landing new freelance clients been rough for you this year? You’re not alone. New client work has slowed for me this year, too, but one thing that is still working is building relationships. All of my projects this year have come from people I’ve connected with on LinkedIn through posts, comments, and DMs. Trust is harder to earn now, and it takes more effort than “Easy Apply” to land work. This week’s Content Connect sponsor, Taplio.com, is the tool I use to keep that relationship-building flywheel spinning. Here’s how: 1. Create connection lists. I make lists of people I want to build relationships with, including potential clients, marketing leads, and peers in my niche. Taplio.com helps surface their recent posts so I can engage meaningfully. 2. Comment with intention. Instead of random scrolling, I use their engagement feed to comment thoughtfully on posts from other professionals whom it makes sense to know. 3. Nurture two-way relationships. Taplio.com shows me who’s already engaging with my posts so I can return the favor. It’s an easy way to build reciprocity and show genuine interest in others’ work. 4. Keep the conversation going. Taplio.com highlights comments I haven’t replied to yet, which is huge. I can respond faster and keep the momentum going with people already in my orbit. And, that’s it! Taplio.com has made finding new clients so much easier for me! Check it out. P.S. You get a 7-day free trial to test everything out.

Hello Reader! It doesn’t matter how good a writer/strategist/editor/marketer you are, if the client can’t count on you, they’re gonna look for someone else. Clients remember the person who delivers on time, communicates clearly, and makes their life easier, not the one who turns in genius-level work three days late or disappears mid-project. I get it. Life gets busy. Freelancers are a one-man band with multiple clients. It’s freakin' hard to juggle it all. Afterall: What if you get sick? What...
