Tired of Getting Ghosted on LinkedIn? Try This Client-Getting Strategy Instead

Publication Date

Summary

If you want a freelance business that actually supports your lifestyle (instead of draining the life out of you), you need to start thinking like a business owner—not an employee

🛑 This Is Employee Behavior

Turning on job alerts. Scanning LinkedIn posts for freelance openings. Applying to gigs and hoping someone picks you.

Yes—someone does get hired that way. It could even be you. But the odds are slim, and the time investment is steep. This is not scalable or predictable.

🗣️ What I’m really saying is: this is employee behavior.

If you're a freelancer, you're not just a service provider. You're a business owner.

🙋🏻‍♀️ You’re the Whole Business

Big businesses have:

Sales teams
Marketing departments
Referral systems
Repeat clients
Inbound strategies

As a freelancer, you are the sales team. You are the marketing. You run the systems. But don’t panic—it’s easier than it sounds.

That’s why I created the Get Clients Guidebook. It gives you everything you need to run your own mini sales and marketing operation in just 30–60 minutes a day.

📉 What’s Not Working (And Why)

🥵 I know freelancers who spend over 90 minutes a day:

Digging through LinkedIn job alerts
Commenting on every "hiring" post
Applying to dozens of gigs

They often don’t land a single client for months.

Meanwhile…

📈 What Actually Works

😁 I also know freelancers who spend just 30 minutes a day following the Get Clients Guidebook. Some of them had zero previous experience in writing, freelancing, or marketing—and still landed their first client within 21 days.

🥳 One freelancer I know has been in the game for 10 years. She was stuck applying to gigs every day. Last month, she switched it up—using my templates to reach out to people she was already connected with on LinkedIn.

In just 1 week: 7 discovery calls
In 2 weeks: fully booked through January

Why? Because she stopped waiting for work and started getting clients like a business owner.

💡 A Better Way to Get Clients

When you attract your ideal clients through:

No-pressure direct outreach
Genuine connection (a.k.a. networking)
Referrals and strategic visibility

…you stop relying on job boards, and start building a business with consistent leads from multiple channels.

💖 This Is a Pep Talk, Not a Shame Storm

I’m not here to shame you—I’m here to pep you up.

I want you to feel empowered, not overwhelmed. Because yes, you are in charge of your freelance business. But you’re also fully capable of doing this differently.

When you chase work through applications and job listings, you’re waiting and hoping someone chooses you.

When you take ownership of your outreach, you become the one doing the choosing.

And that’s where the magic happens.

💼 Your Next Move

You don’t need to spend 90 minutes a day competing with hundreds of freelancers.

You need a repeatable system that helps you build genuine relationships and land discovery calls with your ideal clients—without burning out.

✨ That’s what the Get Clients Guidebook is for.

🧠 FAQ: Why This Works

What if I’m new to freelancing?

This approach still works—it just might take 3–6 months of consistent action. The guidebook gives you starter templates, outreach prompts, and a daily rhythm.

How much time does this take per day?

Just 30–60 minutes. You’ll use that time to message people, post strategically, and follow up—without feeling spammy.

Do I need a website or fancy portfolio?

Nope. You can get started with a simple Google Doc and a strong LinkedIn presence.

What if I’ve tried outreach before and it didn’t work?

Chances are, you either didn’t stick with it long enough or didn’t have the right system. The Get Clients Guidebook walks you through how to make it feel natural and effective.
