Is it cost, trust, delegation, or simply not knowing where to start?

I don't know if I'm making the right move or not. 😅

I've moved from Upwork to Contra, hoping for better opportunities.

Will it work out? Honestly, I don't know yet.

But I'm keeping my expectations high and giving it a shot.

So, say hi! I'm new here.

And if you're already on Contra, I'd love a few tips:

Hi Hun! I've been on Contra for years now (i suspect since the early days) and have had a lot of work from it over the years, including long-term clients. I landed my first clients fairly early (within a couple of months, I'd say) into using it but here are some tips if...

Hi Contra! 👋 I'm Lisa, a marketing strategist and writer.

I spent 15+ years leading marketing in tech. Most recently that was at SoftwarePricing Partners, a consultancy that advises software and AI companies, where I built the brand and thought leadership program and grew inbound pipeline 70%. Before that, I was one of HubSpot's first 50 customers.

That background shapes how I approach every client: clear strategy, real data, and an early read on where marketing is heading, especially AI search.

Now I bring that to businesses of all kinds: brand and messaging, content, email, SEO, and making sure customers (and AI tools) can find you. And because I'm also a published feature writer, the words get done too.

Open to new clients. Say hi!
