Course Description

Overview

In today's short class, I'm going to share my experience using LinkedIn to find freelance work. 

We’ll talk about the important mindset shifts required to succeed on LinkedIn as well as some of the practicalities around crafting your ideal profile and setting yourself up for success.

LinkedIn is the largest professional network in the world, hosting the profiles of thousands of local professionals all the way to CEOs of the world’s biggest companies. 

In this class, we’ll go over some of the core lessons I’ve learned from marketing my own freelance services on LinkedIn and how you can unlock opportunities to work with your ideal clients through the world’s premier professional social network.

Regardless of whether you’re looking for your next big consulting contract, an opportunity to just work part-time or to find your next full-time job, LinkedIn is the premier location to market your professional services online.
