If you want freelance work on the side, you’re not going to get it from LinkedIn so I wouldn’t worry about anyone finding out that way. You have to hustle.
There are tons of good creatives out of work who have gone freelance so you’ll have to compete with them for projects. Talk to people you know, join freelance groups online (eg. Facebook and Fishbowl) and put feelers out. Avoid staffing agencies as they take a massive cut.
Try networking with startups. They often need help and have a range of projects / scope. That way you avoid the ad industry hearing about it.
Reach out to staffing agencies directly through their sites and try making a connection that way. I think there’s also a setting on your LinkedIn profile that lets recruiters know you are looking but it doesn’t show directly on your home profile.
But you’ll have to be on the offense. Freelance is always about staying on your toes and reminding people you exist. You’ll have to make a lot of the first point of contact I think if it’s not clearly stated on your profile.
Yeah no. Don’t find illegal side hustle through recruiters please. Just hit your network up and see if they need a hand on some stuff.
Freelancing is just giving people a hand. Call your friends and see if they need a hand.
Careful, if your agency finds out they can fire you. Happened to my SO years ago.
Best way is to just use your connections. Usually can be discreet, and really learn how much you can take on. Work on a logo or brand messaging for your friend’s cousin, write a script for your college buddy’s new business, hit up your old coworker who switched to freelance and tell them you are open to help in the future if they need it.
I did maybe a dozen freelance gigs last year just helping people out with no hustle involved. You can probably do double if not triple that if you put in the effort.
