Are you guys sure Contra is the place to find clients, cause I have been here for month and a lot of the jobs that I applied to are still active with no movement. I don't even think anyone has been picked for these jobs cause they are just sitting there and is been at least 3 to 6 month. I'm paying for the pro expecting to get work but seems like I am just waisting my money here. Is anyone going through the same thing cause this is not right. In away I feel scammed. I need advice is this real?
You're not alone in this sentiment. I'll say, though, that if the job moves you'll get some notifications, even if you didn't get hired. Below is my notification from a job that (I think) hired someone else. But yeah, many people are finding it tough here...
And it seems that...
why are we even paying for this seems like a scam

I have a question,
How do we actually get clients on Contra ?
They find us by posts , or a job apply(only 3 a day) ..... Or something else i don't know

No tricks, just a sharper offer, case studies that explain my thinking, and clients who liked the work enough to say so publicly.
Grateful to everyone who trusted me early. More ad creatives coming 🎨
One of my templates flopped. The exact same design later sold every single day.
It's called Mitchy, a website template for professional services firms.
On Framer's marketplace it never ranked. And if you don't rank there, buyers never see you.
Easy to blame the design at that point. Redo the hero, change the colors, try again.
I didn't touch it. I put the same design on Webflow's marketplace instead.
It sold 4-5 a day, every day, for about 2-3 months. Webflow was profitable for us from the first month.
On Framer it still doesn't rank, even today.
That's why we sell on both now. One design, two markets.
If you sell software, have you ever found your buyers somewhere you didn't expect?
Such a good reminder that sometimes it’s about finding the right marketplace, not changing the product! Knowing where your audience is makes all the difference. 👏
