New to Contra, but not new to design. 👋 I'm excited to start this journey, connect with amazing people, and collaborate on meaningful projects. If you're looking for a creative partner, I'd love the opportunity to work with you.

I get a lot of comments like this one, and I wanted to share a few things I've learned about getting clients on Contra:

✨ Use less AI when applying or posting on the community, please!! People can tell. Make your message sound like you.

📖 Build case studies and show your process.

🎯 Apply only to projects that genuinely match your skills and portfolio. Fewer, better applications beat sending dozens.

And one more thing... I don't land every job I apply for and when I have a very slow month, I use that time to improve my portfolio and keep showing my work. Eventually, the right clients find me.

What advice would you add?
