Most freelancers try to earn more by working more. But what if the key was in working even less? 👀
I started treating my Contra profile like a product: I published projects strategically to attract dream clients, applied selectively to stay visible, and invited past clients onto the platform to centralize everything.
Last but not least, Digital Products are the ones that made me work less 😏 to have a passive income possibility.
Of course, nothing dramatic happened overnight. But visibility grew, better clients came in and income grew without adding more hours.
The shift was simple: stop selling time, start building assets.
If you had to increase your earnings without working more hours, what would you build first?
This shift from selling time to building assets is such a powerful mindset change. Truly inspiring!
Thank you! Hope that it's useful for everyone!
Stop selling time, start building assets — this is the shift that changes everything. So good 🔥
indeed! we have to be super strategic on how our presence is shown online!
I love this strategy and I think it's gonna pay off big time for you
Thank you, and I truly hope so! Let's see what 2026 brings!

I was featured on Contra’s ‘Best Spanish-Speaking Freelance UGC Creators to Hire in 2025’ last year and I plan to be on that same list this year.
I got to work with Contra’s: Indy AI, Civilian, and Talkspace and can’t wait for what’s next! More UGC for tech/AI clients incoming…
Well deserved 👏 Strong positioning and great momentum going into this year.
