I need to recap with you guys, because WTF. I'm far from the top 1% freelancers in the world. BUT. In just 1 week: βœ… I completed my Contra profile βœ… got certified by Framer as an Expert βœ… onboarded 2 awesome clients to Contra All of this, while also working 10h/day on projects. I was postponing using Contra for so long. Because I thought I suck so much I don't deserve to be amongst all these amazing professionals. I created the account back in 2024, and ditched it almost immediately, like it was the biggest mountain I had to climb in my life. It took just ONE week to get a year of milestones done. Just a bit of encouragement for those of you who are still wondering if they should dive in and work on the milestones they want to achieve. I still suck. I still did it. You are better than me. Do it.

@UXNoraiz Shahid This milestone I mentioned was not about getting clients, but to showcase struggles, delays, and my growth as a professional when I finally took action.

@Deni Bel That's great to hear. Please give some tips on how you landed your first client despite too much competition on the platform.

@Anil Singh I cannot give tips on how to get Contra clients, as I'm too new here. My clients, as mentioned in the post, I onboarded myself. Contra's freelancing tools are useful to keep track of project management, so we use it.
