Why Every Serious Writer Must Have An Active LinkedIn Profile
Don’t just be a writer, be a brand.
I don’t have to tell you how saturated the writing market is. There are countless freelancers, authors, and writers now. Quality writing may not reach the target audience and, hence, be overlooked.
You can get traffic from many places from X, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Facebook, etc. However, most of these places won’t get you an intellectually rich high-paying audience.
That’s where LinkedIn steps in. LinkedIn is a long-term game. It’s not X/Twitter where 10-second tweets may get you overnight success. Building a personal brand on LinkedIn takes time but it is extremely rewarding in the long run.
Think A Long-Term Audience That Buys
If you’re writing on Medium, will you consider more income streams in the future? Any sound-minded writer will do.
For any writer, one of the best ways to earn recurring side hustle income is by publishing an ebook on Amazon or other platforms.
For a successful ebook, you must have an active, engaging audience who is willing to buy your book. This kind of audience will be found on LinkedIn because the majority of people there are not writers, unlike Medium.
