Seeking Honest Feedback on My LinkedIn Profile!
[My LinkedIn Profile link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hafizhamzaumer/] Hey everyone! 👋 I've been building my LinkedIn presence for a while now and currently have about 4,000 connections — but I'm still on the journey of landing my very first client, and I know a lot of you here are in the same boat. Instead of guessing what's holding me back, I'd love some real, honest feedback from this community. Could you take a few minutes to check out my LinkedIn profile and let me know: ✅ What's working well? ✅ What's missing or unclear? ✅ Any changes you'd suggest to make it more client-attracting? Whether it's my headline, bio, content, or overall positioning. I'm open to all constructive feedback. Here's the best part: This isn't just about me. Whatever insights come out of this, I'll be sharing them back with everyone here — so if you're also struggling to convert connections into clients, this could genuinely help you too. Let's grow together! 🚀 Drop your thoughts in the comments, or feel free to DM me if you'd rather share privately. Really appreciate any time you take out for this. 🙏 Special thanks to @Erin Booth , despite being such a well-known influencer, the amount of time and genuine effort she puts into responding to each of us personally truly speaks volumes. It's this kind of consistency and care that naturally earns respect and trust — no wonder she continues to build such a strong, lasting connection with this community. 🙌
Anyone else looking for work right now?
I’m curious if I’m the only one finding it hard to juggle everything at once. 😂 Client hunting, sending proposals, improving your profile, upskilling, building your portfolio, keeping up with the house, and still trying to have a life somewhere in between. 😅 There are days I feel like I’m doing a little bit of everything but not enough of anything. If you’re also currently looking for clients/work, what are you focusing on right now? Would love to hear where everyone is at and maybe we can keep each other motivated along the way. 🤍

Yes, absolutely looking for work right now and yes the juggle is real. I am doing all of this alongside a full time job which adds a whole other layer to it. Some days I feel like I have made progress and other days I wonder if I am spreading myself too thin. My background is 9 years of corporate admin and operations so the skills are there. Email management, document control, SOP writing, vendor coordination, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, AI tools, all good. But landing that first client? That is where I am stuck right now and honestly it is the most frustrating part when you know you can do the work. Right now I am focusing on LinkedIn outreach since I have around 4000 connections there, but i want to make more valuable connection in that platform and also willing to have real conversations instead of just sending cold pitches. Would love to stay motivated together, would be great to know how others are handling this same phase.

SEEKING GUIDANCE: Shifting My Career From Corporate to Freelance Virtual Assistant
Hey everyone, Need desperate help, and guidance I am Hamza, I have 9 years of corporate admin and operations experience and I am now moving into freelance Virtual assistant work to earn a good amount for me as well as for my surrounding. My skills include email management, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, SOP writing, calendar management, vendor coordination, invoice tracking, file management, basic Canva, Clockify, and multiple AI tools for research and daily tasks. I have a Fiverr account set up but still figuring out how to use it properly. On LinkedIn I have around 4000 connections. I am looking forward to accept the challenge alongside my current full time job so I need a realistic and logical idea like how many days does it actually take to land that first client if I stay consistent and committed? I know I can deliver the work, I just need the right guidance on finding that first client and using these platforms effectively. If anyone has been through this or offers mentoring, I would want to connect. Happy to compensate with amount too for your time. Thank you so much 😊

@Erin Booth Thank you so much for this The LinkedIn point hit different. I have 4000 connections but I have not been treating them like real people I can talk to. One question — when you say "tell people what you are doing and who you help" how direct should I be? Like should I straight up say I am looking for clients or keep it more conversational first? Because that is where I get stuck — The outreach point, because other than that i believe my skill set is good enough to get things started. Appreciate your time mam!

@Erin Booth I appreciate your advice. Could you please tell me what keywords I should use to search for and connect with potential clients on LinkedIn? Also, what are their profile headlines usually like? Even a brief idea would help me gain clarity. Thank you so much for your precious time, Ma'am.
