if you just want the tdlr…then here you go….
polywork
badges - clickable under your name and profile picture. Instead of doing a search on LinkedIn you can search on Polywork based on interests
polywork (in my mind) isn’t a ‘posting content’ site. it’s a networking focused site (which is why i like it)
check out the opportunity section of polywork, there are job postings, freelance gigs, and people wanting to get guests on podcasts
honestly if you wanted to kick start your podcasting career and get on other podcasts i would just use polywork to do that
polywork is a place where you need to connect with someone in the dm’s then move it to email, i still dont think a ton of folks ‘live’ on polywork even though they just release a mobile app
one of my favorite parts of polywork is the dm feature. it shows you what that person is interested in collabing on
check out the interest portion of someones profile…this is a great way to start up a convo in the dm’s with something that the person is actually interested in
activity section - you can see all the posts that person has done recently…you probably aren’t going to get a response with someone who hasn’t posted anything in 90 days so be aware
make sure you look at mutual connections, if you have someone in common bring up their names in the dm!
