Cool! Intrigued about your use of LinkedIn!

I've been thinking about how to leverage LinkedIn for my own little agency. Thinking but not doing anything, because as soon as I actually visit LinkedIn, I get turned off by all the humblebrag posts and have to fight an urge to close the tab immediately :)

Are you mostly doing cold outreach, using LinkedIn ads, or anything else?

In the years I've picked up a structure that works quite well.

I have a very good personal curriculum and I specialize in a niche (mobile cross platform apps) so I believe the algorithm picked and start driving traffic to recruiters, which in turn message me about opportunities on the market.

My wife takes care of the sales pipeline so I get lead calls on my calendar after she vets and schedules a call with them.

So far it's been working quite well.
