Freelancers
Freelancers use Distinctful to turn the work they already do into posts that bring the next client: one calendar for LinkedIn and every other channel, drafts in their own voice, and a short weekly routine that survives a busy month.
- Best for
- Designers, developers, writers, and other freelancers who want clients to find them instead of chasing every project
- Works with
- Instagram, X, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, and YouTube, plus Beehiiv or Kit when you send a newsletter
- Not included
- Invoicing clients, proposals, or a portfolio site
Why freelancers use Distinctful
Posting is how freelancers get found, and it is always the first thing to stop when client work piles up. Then the work ends, the pipeline is empty, and you start again from zero.
Most of what you would post already exists: the problem you solved this week, the mistake a client nearly made, the before and after. It just never leaves your head.
How freelancers use Distinctful
- 01
Capture the work as ideas
Save a lesson from a project, a question a client asked, or a post that stopped your scroll as an idea, from the app or from the AI tools you already use through MCP.
- 02
Plan the week in one sitting
Draft for LinkedIn first and adapt for X, Threads, Bluesky, Instagram, or YouTube in the composer. Schedule the week once and let it run while you do the work.
- 03
Point readers to how to hire you
Save your services page or booking link as an offer. When an eligible post goes out, Encore adds a reply that points to it and records whether the reply went through.
- 04
Keep partnerships organized
If brands start paying you to post, Deals tracks each one with its rate, deliverables on your calendar, and whether it has been paid.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a big audience for this to work?
No. Freelancers usually need a few of the right people to see their work, not a large following. A steady weekly routine on one or two platforms is enough to start.
Which platform should a freelancer post on?
Wherever the people who hire you spend time. For most B2B freelancers that is LinkedIn, often with X or Threads beside it. Distinctful posts to all of them from one draft.
Will anything post without my approval?
No. Every post, including drafts Chat writes for you, waits on your Calendar until you approve it. Encore only adds replies after you switch it on and choose the offer it promotes.
Which plan do I need?
