Common challenges for solopreneurs & freelancers

You're doing all the marketing yourself—but you barely have time

Between client deliverables, invoicing, and project management, LinkedIn feels like another endless task. Most solopreneurs either skip it entirely or post sporadically, which means no consistent visibility and no pipeline. You need a system that works with your schedule, not against it.

Your LinkedIn efforts aren't generating actual leads—just vanity metrics

You post thoughtful content, get a few likes from other freelancers, and wonder where the paying clients are. Visibility without positioning is worthless. Most solopreneurs don't have a clear strategy for turning LinkedIn activity into actual client conversations.

It's hard to stand out when thousands of freelancers offer the same service

Every copywriter, designer, and consultant on LinkedIn is claiming to deliver results. Without a differentiated voice and clear value proposition, you blend into the noise. Larger agencies have brand recognition; you have authenticity—but you're not leveraging it.

Generic comments make you sound self-promotional, not like an expert

When you comment 'Great insight!' or 'Love this perspective,' you look like everyone else. Your ideal clients need to see you think differently, solve problems strategically, and understand their specific pain. Comments that don't demonstrate expertise won't convert to client conversations.

How Remarkly solves this

Purpose-built features for solopreneurs & freelancers

Step 1

Comment on posts from your exact ideal clients

Remarkly identifies posts from decision-makers and leaders in your target industries—the people who actually hire freelancers. Instead of hoping the right people see your content, you show up directly in their feed with substantive engagement.

Step 2

Generate comments that position you as the expert, not a vendor

Remarkly learns your expertise and generates comments that demonstrate your thinking, experience, and value without being salesy. Comments that make people think 'I need to talk to this person' rather than 'they're trying to sell me something.'

Step 3

Build consistent visibility on a solopreneur schedule

Set your weekly commenting target, approve AI drafts in minutes, and maintain steady visibility without the grind. Consistency over months is what builds the inbound momentum—Remarkly makes it sustainable for solo operators.

Real comment examples

Scenario

A marketing director at a mid-size SaaS company posts about the challenge of creating brand consistency across content channels

"Brand consistency breaks down in most orgs because nobody owns the 'why' behind the voice. The tone guidelines exist, but the person writing the homepage doesn't know why the product story starts with the customer's problem instead of your feature. We've found that one 30-minute conversation about the reasoning behind core messaging decisions cuts inconsistency by 80%. Happy to share the framework we use if it helps."

Why it works

Demonstrates strategic thinking about a real business problem, adds specific value (the framework), and creates a natural opening for a DM without pitching. This positions the solopreneur as a strategic partner, not a vendor.

Scenario

A founder of a bootstrapped B2B startup posts about struggling to balance product development with market feedback

"The trap is thinking these are competing priorities. In the bootstrapped phase, they're the same thing. The feedback loop is how you know what to build next. We've talked to founders who spend 20% of their week in customer conversations and ship faster than teams that spend 100% on feature work without that signal. It's not about working more—it's about working on the right things."

Why it works

Validates the founder's challenge, introduces a reframe that feels like advice not a pitch, and subtly signals that the solopreneur has worked with multiple successful founders. This builds credibility and inbound interest.

Scenario

A hiring manager posts about the difficulty of writing job descriptions that actually attract the right candidates

"Most job descriptions read like legal documents because they're trying to prevent bad hires instead of attract good ones. The ones that work lead with 'here's the actual problem you'd own' and 'here's how you'd know you're winning' instead of a feature list. Candidate quality goes up when you write to someone, not at everyone."

Why it works

Offers actionable reframing, demonstrates hiring expertise, and makes it clear the solopreneur has seen patterns across multiple hiring processes. A hiring manager reading this might immediately think 'I need to talk to someone who understands how to write for people.'

Immediate tactics for lead generation

Comment on posts from decision-makers in your target industries before prospecting

Spend 1-2 weeks building visibility with thoughtful comments on posts from your ideal clients before sending any outreach. When you do send a DM, they already recognize your name and have seen your thinking.

Always include a specific insight or question—never generic praise

Comments that start with 'I totally agree!' get ignored. Comments that start with 'Here's what we've seen...' or 'The missed angle is...' get replies and DMs. Specificity is how solopreneurs stand out.

End comments with a genuine question about their experience

A question invites dialogue and shows you're interested in their perspective, not pushing a solution. Comments that end with a question get 2-3x more replies, which keeps the conversation visible in the feed.

Track which industries and roles engage most with your comments

After 30-50 comments, you'll notice patterns in who replies and who DMs. Double down on those segments—they're your actual ideal clients. This focus dramatically improves your lead quality.

Frequently asked

Common questions about Remarkly for solopreneurs & freelancers

As a solopreneur, can I really spend less time on LinkedIn but get more leads?

Yes. The key is strategic commenting instead of post-and-pray content. Remarkly helps you comment 15-20 times per week on high-leverage posts—which takes 20-30 minutes and generates more qualified leads than posting once a week for 2 hours. Focus beats frequency.

How do I make sure my LinkedIn comments don't sound self-promotional?

Remarkly generates comments based on your expertise, not your services. The best comments demonstrate how you think and what you've learned—they make you interesting to prospects without ever mentioning your offer. When they DM you, you can talk about working together.

What types of clients should I be targeting with LinkedIn commenting?

Target decision-makers and leaders in industries where you deliver the most value. If you're a brand strategist, comment on posts from CMOs and founders. If you're a bookkeeper, engage with posts from CFOs and small business owners. Go where your buyers congregate.

How long before I see actual client leads from LinkedIn commenting?

Most solopreneurs see their first inbound inquiry within 2-3 weeks of consistent commenting. Qualified leads that turn into actual projects typically show up at 60-90 days. LinkedIn is a compounding channel—the value builds over time.

Is it risky to build my personal brand as a solopreneur if I want to eventually hire or scale?

No—personal brand is actually an asset when you scale. Your LinkedIn presence becomes the foundation for your company's brand. People come to work for you partly because of the credibility and thinking you've already built. You're not painting yourself into a corner; you're building from a position of strength.
