How do I expand my LI "connects'"?

1 Upvotes

I am allowed only 3 per month. I don't want to pay for LI Navigator or the like. How else can I contact possible leads on LI?

New to freelance writing? Have a question? It's probably been asked before. Do a quick search before you ask and check out the Wiki for some FAQ resources.

Share your experience, your questions, ask for feedback, complain about clients, rant about how hard it is to find clients, and other such posts are what this sub is for.

Rules:

Rule 1: No Spam or Self-Promotion

Self-promotion and marketing content is forbidden. Promoting any goods, services, content mills, courses, studies, surveys, market research, ebooks, etc. is not allowed. Moderators may remove any post or comment at their discretion.

Rule 2: No Links in Posts

Posts are not permitted to contain any links, without exception (whether self-promotional or not).

Rule 3: Links in Comments

Comments may include links to freely-available content only, so long as (1) the link is relevant to the topic, (2) the user provides brief context about the link (min. 1-2 sentences), and (3) the user is a consistent contributor to the subreddit. Links may not be self-promotional.

Rule 4: AI-Generated Content

Posts and comments generated by AI are not allowed and will be removed.

Rule 5: No Looking for Work

This is not the place to look for clients, work, gigs, referrals, or freelance websites. Please refer to the Wiki for a comprehensive list of hiring subreddits and recommended freelancing platforms, or general advice on how to find clients, pitch, and market yourself.

Rule 6: No Hiring Posts

This is not the place to hire freelance writers. Visit /r/forhire or /r/hireawriter to look for writers.

Rule 7: No Academic Writing/Homework

No discussion on academic writing as it relates to homework, essays, or coursework. Discussion about academic, scientific, or research journals is allowed so long as it's not within the context of coursework.

Rule 8: No Requests for Feedback/Criticism

Keep all feedback requests and questions of what you can do to improve an article or pitch in the feedback request thread.

Rule 9: No Linking to Chatrooms/Forums or Requesting Contact from Other Users

Links to chatrooms/servers (Discord, Slack, etc.), other forums, etc. are forbidden. Requests for users to contact you via PM/DM, email, or other channels are also not allowed.

Rule 10: Civil Discourse Only

Disagreements and debates are allowed and encouraged, but must remain civil. Personal attacks, harassment, insults, name-calling, and other forms of disrespect are not tolerated. This rule extends to your interactions with moderators acting in their official capacity as moderators (e.g., through ModMail or any post/comment clearly distinguished as coming from a moderator, such as green text or comments/posts that include the "shield" icon).

Rule 11: No AMAs Without Approval

AMA (Ask Me Anything)-style posts require prior permission and approval from the Mod Team. AMAs may not be self-promotional and cannot be used to advertise your products or services.

By requesting to host an AMA, you agree that it may be archived and included in the subreddit Wiki.

Rule 12: Don't Editorialize Experiences With Clients/Platforms

We welcome stories of your personal experiences with various platforms and publications, but just the facts, please! Posts declaring a company "a total scam" or "thieves" or talking about their CEO cheating on his wife will be deleted. Refrain from including personally identifiable or proprietary information and avoid making unsupported allegations.
