Every month we run through a series of questions to help you run your freelance business like a bigger business—“self-coaching” your way to better results and a better life. 

Hey!

Creating a freelance business that fits your life starts with finding opportunities to make things easier wherever you can. 

For COO month, we’re going to cover four areas of potential automation and AI that will help you get bigger results with less effort and mental labor. 

#2 Am I automating networking?  

Ok so this one is big for my introverts (and extroverts who want to scale). 

Networking requires one-to-one interactions, but you can automate some components, especially introductions. 

I use a LinkedIn automation tool (Dripify) to send out introductions and follow up messages, and then go personal from there. 

This is really useful once you’ve figured out your niche and where you get high acceptance rates (aim for around 20% after tracking for a few weeks). It can free up ridiculous amounts of time, allowing you to “always be networking” without feeling like you’re in a constant grind.
