LinkedIn and Freelancers


Who is a freelancer?
Any person who instead of being employed in a company chooses to be self-employed and work with clients independently is called a freelancer. Basically, this is an alternative type of employment in which that person wants to work without enlisting himself/herself under a company or brand. They get work through various sources and perform a variety of tasks.



Why LinkedIn?
Here is where LinkedIn comes into the picture. It is the best digital marketing application or site of today. There are hundreds of companies that are running Ads for employment and recruitment, this gives the perfect opportunity to the freelancers to develop a connection through LinkedIn and get business. In the last 5 years freelancing business in LinkedIn has increased at a staggering rate of 50%. This means that LinkedIn is also taking freelancing business seriously and continuously improving the tools to increase business connections for freelancers.

All a freelancer needs to do is to enlist himself on LinkedIn and fill in the required details and the services he wishes to provide. This way a profile is created, now it is time to market the profile and let other companies who want a service of the existence of this profile. So, this next step can be called creating a presence on the digital platform.   

Prospects for a freelancer
Building a connection: LinkedIn provides an essential tool of chatting with your clients on their server. This way all the queries can be cleared beforehand and both the parties can be sanguine about the business they are going to have.

Efficiency: Over time LinkedIn has proved to be an efficient medium for freelancers. It is not too difficult to make connections and get your clients. If the marketing strategies are chosen wisely then there is ample amount of scope in LinkedIn for freelancers.

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude.
