David Silverman: I’ve wrapped up working and I’m trying to figure out how much time is enough to invest in networking when work takes over everything.

• Start with the goal question (what do you want to achieve next):
• Secure a minimum of 2 additional months of freelance employment
• Define what’s stopping you from expanding your client base:
• Not enough having existing clients to fill the 2-month gap
• Lack of confidence in your ability to do cold outreach
• Reworking how to present yourself
• Focus on one warm contact first because one conversation could instantly close the two-month gap.
• Treat outreach as micro-commitments that explore fit and value before availability, details, or constraints.
• Share availability only when asked so curiosity and momentum grow instead of stalling too early.
