This post essentially says nothing. The tl;dr is, use LinkedIn to network and build a client base.
I'm rather surprised that you felt that there wasn't much content. I spent around seven hours writing and editing the post and it draws on several years of in-the-trenches experience.
The article was well written. Obviously not everything someone would need to know to start freelancing is written in this article, but it does present some very valuable information.
Thanks for writing and sharing.
