I know. You don’t like LinkedIn.
It’s full of corporate jargon, people announcing career milestones that they’re “thrilled to share,” and inspirational posts that sound like they were all written by the same AI.
I get it.
But here’s the thing: you don’t have to be on LinkedIn every day to use it strategically.
If you’re looking for work - whether it’s in Bitcoin or anywhere - it’s highly beneficial having at least a presence there.
Because - when you send a proposal or a job application - what’s the first thing the recipient will do?
Google you. (Or Grok you…) And one of the first results they’ll find is your LinkedIn profile.
Even if you connected with someone in a Telegram group or met at a conference - people will check LinkedIn for reference and context. Especially with all the recent scams on Telegram, they might double check you are who you say you are on LinkedIn, where your real name is attached to your proof of work.
That’s why LinkedIn is one of the best places to be findable.
So when people come across your profile, it should make three things immediately clear:
What do you do? What are you good at? What are you looking for?
And then it should back those claims up.
Your work history tells people where you’ve been.
Your headline tells them what you want to be known for.
Your About section gives context.
Your posts and comments show how you think.
Your Featured section can point people to your actual proof of work.
Together, they create a picture of you that is much more useful than a CV alone.
So even if you don’t want to spend a lot of time on LinkedIn, at the very least, make sure your profile makes it obvious why someone should talk to you.
That’s one of the things we’ll be working on during Jobtober. We’ll give you practical challenges to improve your online presence, your reputation and your proof of work so that the right people have a much easier time figuring out who you are and what you can do.
You don’t need to become a LinkedIn influencer. You just need to make sure that when someone is looking for someone like you, they find your profile and become curious.
Jobtober starts October 1st and is completely free.
Is your audience listening?
Podcasted! is a podcast-as-a-service that makes it easy for people to understand what you do.
They turn your website or other material into engaging AI audio conversations. You provide the material; they turn it into an evergreen audio asset you can embed on your About page and share with your audience.
It’s a simple way to reach people who will understand your work better by hearing it explained on the go, than by reading your website.
And for Bitcoiners who love learning, Podcasted!’s Bitcoin TL;DR turns complex Bitcoin content into digestible conversations.

Findability Thought
Being findable doesn’t mean being everywhere. It means being visible in the places where the right people are looking.
Every week, somewhere in the Bitcoin ecosystem, someone is looking for someone exactly like you.
Can they find you?
