For Independents · 5 min read · Updated 5/10/2026

What should an independent put on their public profile?

At minimum: a one-line headline that names who you help and how, two case studies with outcomes, one productized service package with a price, and a way to reach you on LinkedIn. Skip the resume.

Why

Founders scan. They are deciding in 20 seconds whether to read more.

What

  • A headline that names a buyer and a result
  • Two case studies with named outcomes (numbers beat adjectives)
  • One productized package with scope and price

How

Write the headline last. Draft it after you've listed the case studies — the pattern in your work usually is your positioning.
