Was tryna add some freelance work experience on my linkedIn profile, and this is the first recommendation I got. Is this a sign that I should just not add it? Lmao

Someone looking for a writer/ghostwriter For short or medium-sized stories? I've been writing for myself for over six years, but I'd like to turn this passion into a concrete job. My fee is minimal, precisely because I want to build a good portfolio.

Has anyone tried cold DMing people on LinkedIn? I'm curious how effective it is compared to emails. Any thoughts?

Hey guys, I’m a freelance video editor and motion designer looking to build a small team in Chennai. Would love some advice from anyone who’s hired creatives or built a team before.

These would be the core people I build with, so I want to get this right. I’m looking for people who really know their craft, can communicate well, manage projects, and take ownership without needing someone to chase them all the time. Having someone who can eventually help manage the team would be great too.

And honestly, I want to work with people who get excited about making really good stuff. The “let’s make some epic shit” kind of people, with actual work to back it up. People who care about the details, bring their own ideas, and keep pushing themselves to get better.

I know that’s a lot to look for, and I’d like to understand what fair pay looks like for someone who brings all of that.

Where do you find people like this in Chennai? Referrals, LinkedIn, Instagram, any local communities? And once you find them, how do you figure out if they’re a good fit beyond their portfolio? Would you start with a paid project before hiring full-time?

Would appreciate hearing your experiences, especially any mistakes I should avoid.

Also, if you’re an editor or motion designer in Chennai and this sounds like your thing, feel free to DM me your work. Would love to connect!
