I know this has been asked probably five million times but I need some help getting to grips with Linked In. I have been freelancing (copywriting, journalism in niche area) for a few years now, always for the same two main clients, plus some smaller one-off projects.
My last child is off to school soon and I am looking to expand and find some more clients. I am on Linked In but I have connected with everyone I know and my 'connection count' is rather embarrassing (I am not the most social of people....friendless goon). I hear that Linked In is this magical tool where you can rustle up hundred of new clients, but how?
Do I randomly send invites to people I don't know who could use my services or is there another, better way? I have always got clients the old-fashioned way (through people I know in real life) so I am at a loss at how to harness Linked In.
Do you find having a good website is preferable to Linked In? I can see all the people I would like to target but I don't know how to approach them.
Any help gratefully received (this is a genuine question, not some crappy marketing ruse by the way).
