Let’s go to the Nineties Now

The other day, a friend called me with his plan for the summer, and I weirdly loved it.

Leave the phones at home.
Carry cash.
Take taxis instead of calling Ubers.
Write down phone numbers.

Basically… live like it’s 1995.

Being born in 1996, I think I’ve lived through a lot.

Global chaos aside—recessions, pandemics, the usual plot twists—I’ve also watched technology grow up right alongside us. When I was five, our family computer was basically a piece of furniture. Huge monitor, loud dial-up internet, and the patience of a saint required just to load a webpage. Fast forward ten years and suddenly I had Wi-Fi and my own laptop. Everything got faster, easier, and way more accessible.

🌐 7 Ways Freelancers Can Use LinkedIn To Increase Lead Generation.

LinkedIn has quietly become one of the most powerful client acquisition channels for freelancers but most people still treat it like an online resume. The real opportunity comes when freelancers use the platform as a marketing engine. By optimizing their profile, sharing expertise through content, and engaging consistently with their network, freelancers can turn LinkedIn into a steady pipeline of inbound leads instead of relying on unpredictable referrals or gig platforms.

Key Takeaways

• Treat your LinkedIn profile like a landing page
A strong photo, clear banner, and a specific bio that explains who you help and what results you deliver makes it easier for potential clients to understand your value quickly.

• Share expertise publicly to build trust before selling
Posting insights, case studies, frameworks, or lessons from client work helps position freelancers as experts and warms up potential leads before any direct outreach happens.

• Social proof and engagement drive discovery
Testimonials, recommendations, and thoughtful comments on others’ posts increase visibility and credibility which often leads to profile visits and inbound opportunities.

Why It Matters

Freelancing is becoming more competitive as more professionals move toward independent work. Platforms like LinkedIn reward individuals who build authority in public rather than quietly marketing behind the scenes. For founders, creators, and operators building personal brands, the lesson is clear. Distribution and credibility increasingly live on professional networks, and those who treat their profiles like active media channels rather than static resumes are far more likely to attract high quality opportunities.

Incase you missed it —
How We Traded Romance for Digital Surveillance

Dating apps have ruined dating. Or at least, they’ve rewritten it so thoroughly that the old version feels medieval – like something our parents swore once existed, explaining how things used to work.

They’ve made us socially strange. Not incapable of connection, but closed off, weird and over-calibrated. Always aware that there might be something, or someone, one swipe away.

We carry an entire catalogue of potential partners in our pockets…. Seeing this spelled out is kind of creepy, strange, but also hopeful, and helpful?
