The LinkedIn Challenge is an 8-week group coaching program (plus a mid-program regroup buffer of 2 weeks) designed to help freelancers build a steady client pipeline without posting daily or getting lost in the scroll.

You’ll walk away with a repeatable routine that consistently gets you clients, a tracker of dream clients who can actually afford you, and the confidence to finally escape the feast/famine cycle.

Why I built this challenge

In 2024, I almost launched this as a free 30-day email challenge.

It was going to be simple: one email a day, one action step, one mindset reframe.

But the more I listened to my community, the more I realized…

👉 Tips aren’t enough.

👉 Freelancers don’t need more noise.

👉 What you actually need is a repeatable system, a bit of structure, and a community that gets it.

image

So I scrapped the freebie — and built a real solution instead.

This is the system I used to book $80k/year in freelance clients on LinkedIn before I ever posted consistently.

It’s ADHD-friendly, low-pressure, and completely human-first.

image

The best time to land Q2 freelance contracts is right now.

Most freelancers wait until they need clients to start looking — and then panic when no one’s ready to hire.

But the ones who are fully booked all year? They show up right now.

Companies are finalizing budgets. Campaigns are ramping up. And decision-makers are ready to hire.

If you want steady work by April or May — this challenge will get you there.

Ugh… getting clients…

image

Getting clients is so hard. So you put it off all week… and sit with the anxiety of never knowing where your next gig is coming from.

image

Reaching out feels icky or scary.

So you avoid it. And the feast/famine cycle keeps spinning.

image

Real talk? LinkedIn feels overwhelming. You don’t know what to say or who to message. So you keep avoiding it.

👀 Which one is you?

You know what? It doesn't even matter.

Because we are about to change how you get clients – together.

You’ll get a step-by-step routine, built for ADHD brains, that takes the stress out of networking and makes LinkedIn actually work for you.

No pitching. No weird cold DMs. No daily posting.

Just a simple, strategic system that helps you connect with the companies you actually want to work with.

I’ll teach you the same routine that’s helped me book myself out for an entire year in advance – 3 years in a row.

After working with Rachel, the biggest shift for me was being more proactive about my own client outreach and getting outside of my comfort zone.

You’re probably thinking…

“But wait… why isn’t this $1,200 like your 12-week 1:1 coaching?”

Because this program is designed to be accessible.

It’s the system I used to build an $80k/year freelance business (working 20 hours/week) — without daily posting or endless cold pitching.

I want you to have it too.

image

This is for you if…

  • You’ve been freelancing for at least a few months — but your client pipeline still feels shaky
  • You’re tired of chasing job posts, pitch calls, or newsletter gigs that dry up fast
  • You want a repeatable system that works even if you forget to post or ghost LinkedIn for weeks
  • You know you’re talented, but getting clients feels inconsistent, awkward, or too much
  • You’re done letting fear, burnout, or ADHD paralysis stop you from building the business you want
  • You want 2026 to be the year your freelance business feels stable, strategic, and fully yours

It’s not for you if: You’re looking for a done-for-you service or haven’t decided what you offer yet.

FAQs

‣

Do I need to be posting on LinkedIn every day for this to work?

Nope. This challenge is built around connection — not content. If you want to post, great! But it’s completely optional. You can get clients without becoming a LinkedIn thought leader.

‣

What if I miss a week (or fall behind)?

That’s why we’ve built in a two-week regroup buffer in March/April. Every resource is also yours to keep forever — so you can always come back when life life’s better.

Plus, if you want to join in on the accountability and coworking of a future cohort it’s only $50. I’ll be running this program multiple times a year.

‣

I’m brand new to freelancing — is this still a fit?

If you know your service and who you want to work with, yes. If you’re still figuring out your niche, services, rates, etc. you may want to start with 1:1 Coaching first.

‣

Will I get feedback or support during the Challenge?

Yes! You’ll have access to coworking calls, community threads, and ongoing support inside Circle. Rachel checks in throughout the week and personally responds to every question and DM.

‣

Are refunds available?

No — this program is non-refundable. You know upfront exactly what’s inside, and the system is designed to deliver results if you follow through. Part of the reason I’m able to offer it for such a low price is by not offering refunds.

‣

Is there a payment plan?

Yep — you can pay $250 upfront or in 2 monthly payments of $130. Just select the payment plan option at checkout.

‣

How much time should I set aside each week?

Most folks spend 1–2 hours a week on the Challenge. You can break that up into short sessions or batch it during coworking calls. The system is designed to be flexible and ADHD-friendly — not another “daily habit” you’ll forget (or get sick of) by Week 2.

‣

What if I’m awkward about networking or hate pitching myself?

Good news: you don’t have to pitch yourself at all. This challenge will show you how to connect with potential clients in a way that feels natural, respectful, and non-cringe. You won’t be cold pitching at all.

‣

Does this work for every type of freelancer?

Not every niche thrives on LinkedIn — this challenge is best suited for freelancers targeting industries that are active on the platform.

You’ll get the most out of this challenge if your ideal clients are in:

  • Tech, Finance, or Startups
  • Marketing, Branding, or Sales
  • HR, Career Coaching, or Leadership Development
  • Healthtech, Mental Health, or Wellness
  • Legal, Compliance, or Cybersecurity
  • Education, E-Learning, or Coaching
  • Sustainability, Real Estate, or Supply Chain
  • Creative Services (design, copywriting, video, etc.)
  • AI, Data, or Automation
  • Parenting
  • Health & Fitness

Not ideal for:

  • Hospitality
  • Fashion, Beauty, or Lifestyle (I’ve seen success with this one, but it’s a toss up!)
  • DIY or Home Decor
  • Food & Beverage
  • Weddings or Events
  • Astrology or Spirituality
  • Pet Care & Training (This one’s a wild card! Some people have success, some don’t.)

This method works best for service providers like:

  • Freelancers: writers, designers, developers, strategists, researchers
  • Consultants: marketing, branding, PR, ops, sales, HR
  • Fractional folks: CMOs, COOs, CTOs, Heads of Content, Growth, or People
  • Specialists: SEO, content marketing, paid ads, UX, email marketing, data

Basically, if you sell a done-for-you or strategic done-with-you service — and your dream clients are on LinkedIn — this will work great for you.

But it doesn’t work super well for:

(These titles can really benefit from content marketing on LinkedIn but most people don’t appreciate DMs from these types of people in my experience.)

  • Coaches (especially if your offer is 1:1 personal coaching or group coaching programs)
  • Product-based businesses or course creators selling to consumers
  • Creative entrepreneurs in lifestyle spaces (like spirituality or fashion)

If you’re not sure whether this is a fit, send me a DM — I’ll give you my honest take. 💜

‣

What does the LinkedIn Challenge actually look like inside?

We run the program in Circle, our community platform.

Each week, I’ll post a lesson and checklist that’ll help you build your system without overwhelm.

I’ll also DM you to make sure you have the support you need. Yep! Every single week.

You’re welcome to use the Challenge Chat or my DMs to ask for help when you need it, too. Whether it’s sending me screenshots of your DMs to help you reply, mindset crises, or the nuances of LinkedIn etiquette – I’m here to help.

Each week, there will be multiple coworking sessions you can choose from for accountability.

I’ll hold 2 Office Hours sessions where I’m in the hot seat to answer all your questions. These are recorded so you can watch the replay if you can’t make it live.

We’ll do this for 5 weeks. Then, we’ll take a 3 week break where you’ll try to implement the system on your own.

After that, we’ll come back together for 3 more weeks to fix anything that didn’t work during our break.

Once the challenge ends, you’ll retain lifetime access to my Get Clients System so you can return to the resources, templates, and lessons any time you need them.

If you want to join future challenges (we re-run the challenge twice a year), you can join again for just $50 to get access to the chat and events again.

‣

Do I need LinkedIn Premium or LinkedIn Sales Navigator for this?

It depends on your account… some people (like me) have legacy accounts (I’ve been using LinkedIn actively since 2012 – thanks to my old political career). But if your account is newer or you have fewer than 500 connections right now, you might benefit from a subscription.

Why? Because LinkedIn uses your “social selling index” to determine how many connection requests you can send and the search results you can see.

I’d recommend trying the first couple weeks of the challenge and, if you’re running into problems, upgrading to LinkedIn Premium Career. It’s $30/month and it’ll make a massive impact on how efficient you can be with this system.

You do not need LinkedIn Sales Navigator. It’s super expensive and honestly not that helpful for how much it costs. Premium Career is plenty.

If you can’t afford Premium, you can apply for the LinkedIn for Journalists program to get a one-year subscription for free. If you’ve never signed up for Premium, you should also be able to get a free 30-day trial!

image

You’re not behind — you’re right on time.

You don’t need to be perfect.

You just need a system that works — and a little support along the way.

You made your Q1 goals. Now let’s build your Q2 income.

This is your chance to shift from “I hope I find clients” to “I know exactly how to land them.”
