I signed my first freelance medical writing contract today.

Consistency on LinkedIn is what most of us miss.

It was three months back, that I tried my best being consistent with my posting.

I wanted to try my hands on medical writing and was doing my best to make that recognition on LinkedIn. Cut to the chase, I was looking for work. With slim experiences, it was not so easy to make people believe what I am capable of. And that’s when I started sharing my content on LinkedIn.

And then something happened.

One of my connections, who happens to be an expert today in the field of Medical Communications recommended me to someone who was looking for pharma writers.

We communicated about the project. Though it took longer than expected, I finally signed in today as their team.

It is an International portal that will be disseminating medical content online.

Consistency works. But what I would like to highlight is to be consistent in a way to give people trust in what you do.

I know when our family members still struggle to process freelancing culture; it is difficult for us to give it a thought. But it is worth trying.

I know there’s a long way to go. I know I cannot still be consistent in LinkedIn the way I want. But not giving up is what we can all do. Run, if not, walk, if not, crawl, if not, creep but never give up on what you want to truly do.
