Hi everyone!
I’m curious to know - how long did it take for you to find your first clients here? I would be incredibly grateful for any tips or advice in the comments on how to speed up the process. Thank you in advance! ✨
I've heard of people getting their first in weeks, but personally I just got my first client after 6 months, 66 applications and 6 leads. (Some fields have less opportunities than others.)
Work on improving your score and case studies, and write applications focusing on how...
Thank you so much for the advice and for sharing your experience! It’s really motivating and helps me keep going. Wishing you many interesting projects and great clients as well!🙌

Most of my work happens across time zones, with clients on the other side of the world.
But I’m about to start a project for an Argentine brand, and it feels special in a different way. Closer, more familiar, more personal.
There’s something really nice about bringing the work back home for a moment.
Curious, where are your clients usually based?
Where are you from?
Confession:
Been working as a Product Specialist at Framer for almost 2 years and a freelancer designer for longer.
But in March was the first time I ever published a site of my own.
This is a milestone for sure.
