Thank you for post.

I’ve been in freelancing for about 10 years and for some reason it turns out that if I have to look for a job, then somehow she finds me very quickly.

My key skill is word of mouth, when my clients tell their friends that I am a good specialist and I don’t have to find a job.

But I am not happy about Linkedin lately. I once wanted to fly to work in Dubai, made a website for Dubai deluxe-dubai.com, thought to develop online sales there, create a good online store and online magazine, and I did it one.

But when I added users from Dubai to Linkedin (now I'm in Thailand) and want to find new customers to develop a website from the USA, England, Australia - then linkedin offers me people to my list from Dubai zone and I just can not change it.

This is fun, but sometimes it hinders the establishment of new business connections from other regions in which you would like to work.
