    64. How to Use LinkedIn to Get Clients in 2026

    Send us Fan Mail LinkedIn is one of the most overlooked platforms for service providers — and honestly, I get why. If you’re used to Instagram, LinkedIn can feel “corporate” and confusing. So I brought on LinkedIn specialist Molly Godfrey to break down how to actually use LinkedIn for lead generation in a way that feels strategic, simple, and sustainable. We talk about how to use your existing network (especially if you have a corporate background), how often to post, what content performs best, how to optimize your profile for conversions, and why relationship-building matters more on LinkedIn than gimmicks and hacks. If you’re a side hustler or service provider who wants to get clients from LinkedIn without posting every day — you’re going to love this one.
