I'm noticing some disturbing behavior on Linkedin.

I've been away for a while, and I'm longing for the days when all there was to complain about was pitch-slapping in the DMs.

Here are some new LI tactics that I'm NOT loving...

- - - - - - 

🙄 People selling their services in the comments section of my posts

Not just chiming in or offering anything useful, but literally saying, "These are the services I offer" – like a little ad in the comments. Most of them are other marketers or web designers.

Not cool.

- - - - - - 

🤨 Adding me to their email newsletter list just because I accepted their connection request

Um, I agreed to connect. Not subscribe! As soon as someone does this, I lose all trust in them and their business tactics.

Unsubscribe. Unfollow. Goodbye.

- - - - - - 

😡 Sending me calendar invites when we've never communicated before

This one is the WORST! I'm getting meetings on my calendar and in Zoom from people I've NEVER met!! Some of them are for webinars, some are demos, some are pitches – but NONE of them are with people I've ever met or talked to.

What the actual...???

- - - - - - 

I get it. Building a business is hard. But come on!!

Have you experienced any of this? Or is it just me?

👑 Websites & Marketing Overhauls for Financial Advisors & RIAs 👉 Sharing digital marketing tips

All three of these tweaks come from real samples I found on a professionally designed advisor website.

Take a look and let me know which is your favorite, and if you're planning to make any of these changes to your own site.

I help YOU build a personal brand in 90 days!

Founders today face two challenges:
Finding the right people. And getting seen by the right people.

I help you solve both.

Through Logic Pro, I help tech-driven companies in the US, Canada, and Australia hire vetted technical talent, usually within a week.

Through Aptitude Digitals, I help founders and CEOs build authority on LinkedIn, so they attract clients, partnerships, and opportunities effortlessly.

My approach is simple:

- Fast, risk-free hiring for growing teams
- Powerful personal brands that turn visibility into revenue

Whether you want to scale your team or your influence, I’ll help you get there faster,
without burnout or guesswork.

📩 DM me to talk about talent, branding, or how both can grow your business.

Most people talk about freelancing as an individual journey...

But what rarely gets noticed is the IMPACT !!!

When a Pakistani freelancer gets paid,
it’s not just income, it’s investment.

- In families.
- In education.
- In new businesses that start with a single transfer.

That’s why the way we move money matters.
Because smoother payments mean faster progress.

As someone who’s worked with remote teams for years,
I’ve seen how a simple payment can unlock opportunity,
not just for one person,
but for everyone connected to them.

To every freelancer building quietly from home,
you’re not just earning.

You’re empowering.

P.S. While writing this post, my $$$ just arrived.
Guess the timing couldn’t be better 😀😝
