What should freelance transition coaches post on LinkedIn?

Posts that name the job market and the job titles of the employees you coach, memes about their trade, the fears that stop them, and student stories that start from the job they had. Method posts on finding clients bring reach from people who are already freelance, and few buyers.

What is the best day to post on LinkedIn for freelance transition coaches?

For this mentor, Tuesday brought 18% marketing and comms employees over 6 posts and Thursday 15.3% over 6, against 3.2% on Monday. What a post is about moves the buyer share as much as the day, so put your strongest topics on Tuesday and Thursday.

How do I know if my LinkedIn posts bring clients?

Look at who reacts, not how many. Group reactions by role, measure the share of your ideal clients per post, and follow the people who keep coming back. A free Netwarm scan does this for you.

Is it safe to analyse my LinkedIn audience?

Yes. Netwarm only reads public reactions to your own posts. It never logs in as you, never asks for your password, and never messages anyone for you.
