LinkedIn outreach for freelancers
For freelance designers, developers, writers and marketers who find clients on LinkedIn. A short sequence that connects and follows up on its own, from your own account, $29 a month.
Who it's for
You are the product. Work comes from people who know what you do, and LinkedIn is where they are. You want a few new conversations a week between projects, without turning a day a week into sales.
- You run one LinkedIn account: yours.
- You have a clear service and a kind of person who buys it.
- Small volumes are fine. A handful of good conversations a week is the goal.
Not for running outreach for your clients from their accounts. One workspace connects one LinkedIn account, and there are no client workspaces.
Between projects
Set it up once, let it run, stop enrolling when you're booked.

List the people who hire you
Search the lead finder for titles such as Marketing Manager or Founder. To stay in your city, paste a LinkedIn people-search link with a location into Search Export instead. Or upload a CSV of profile links you've collected.

Fill in the gaps
If you uploaded a CSV, run Profile Scraper so each lead has a name and company for your placeholders.

Build a three-step sequence
A connection request with a short note, a wait of four days, then one message. Enrol your new leads with one button.

Let it run while you work
Requests go out within the caps, 20 a day and 100 in any 7 days, from your cloud browser, with your laptop closed.

Stop enrolling when you're booked
When your next project lands, stop adding leads. People already enrolled finish their steps, and you pick it up again when you have room.
- Connect
- Hi {name}, I'm a freelance product designer working with early-stage teams. Would be good to be connected.
- Wait
- 4 days
- Message
- Thanks for connecting, {name}. If {company} ever needs an extra pair of hands on design, I'm happy to share a few recent pieces. No pitch.
What the plan covers
One plan, $29 a month, or $20 a month paid yearly. 20 requests and 30 messages a day suit a small sequence, and 300 lead finds a month leaves room for a new search every few weeks.
Paying yearly is $239, which works out at $20 a month. Paying every 3 or 6 months is $26 or $23 a month.
| Connection requests a day | 20 |
|---|---|
| Connection requests in any 7 days | 100 |
| Messages a day | 30 |
| Likes a day | 50 |
| Lead finds a month | 300 |
The plan connects one LinkedIn account. HeyReach lists $79 per sender and Expandi $99 per seat (public prices, November 2026). Both are built for agencies and teams running many LinkedIn accounts. If you run one account, you pay for one.
Be careful about
- Keep the sequence to one request and one message. A long sequence keeps writing to people who already answered.
- Check placeholders. If a lead has no company on file, {company} comes out blank, so write messages that still read well without it.
- Stop enrolling leads when you can't take work. A reply you can't act on is a wasted introduction.
- Read your LinkedIn inbox every day and reply yourself. Messages are checked for a reply before they go out, but don't rely on that yet: keep follow-ups to one.
- Automation is against LinkedIn's terms. Caps and pacing reduce the risk to your account; they don't remove it.
The safety page explains the caps, pacing and stops in full, and the guide to daily limits and pacing helps you pick settings.
