Utilizing the opportunities on LinkedIn as a Freelancer
With over 590 million users globally, LinkedIn is a proven digital platform for professionals to grow their careers. With the freelance industry expanding rapidly in recent years, freelancers need to take advantage of every resource available to them. As such, freelancers should consider using LinkedIn to expand their professional network and land new gigs.
Many people now know the concept of LinkedIn and how important it is to their professional growth and development.
According to LinkedIn, around 180 million users, which makes up 25% of its users, are senior-level influencers. This explains the enormous potential and value folks over there have.
As freelancers, sometimes jobs don’t come from freelance marketplaces such as Fiverr, Upwork, Toptal, and the like. What do you do in this scenario? Should you give up or intensify your research to get clients? LinkedIn is a great option to look for opportunities if you choose not to give up.
According to this research, more than 57 million companies are on its platform, and around 15 million open job openings are posted.
