Linkedin and cold emails Sep 26, 2024

And, on a couple of occasions, Linkedin has proved to be just perfect.

I haven’t been seeking new clients for a while and I’m quite happy with the bunch of customers I have: interesting projects paid at my rates and on my conditions. Usually, clients come to me and when they do they will be more than welcome if we can agree on terms. Usually, they find me through word of mouth (referrals from colleagues and clients), ATA, Proz and my website.

Why not LinkedIn? Where do you find your clients?

I've found direct clients over there and some translation agencies as well.

According to Proz colleagues, it's seems LinkedIn is overrated.

It is. But ProZ is mostly useless by now.
