I am from Argentina and the Patagonia region is truly beautiful! I truly recommend that!

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?

Hey Contra folks 👋 design is… let’s say not my strongest muscle. I’m currently experimenting with Canva and doing my best to not commit visual crimes on my portfolio.

I’m refreshing my profile and would genuinely love some honest advice on the very basic thumbnails I'm creating.

If you’re up for it, feel free to drop feedback in the comments or DM me 🫶

Thank you! @Canva @Contra HQ @Contra @Figma

Nice direction so far 👀 One thing that might help — increasing contrast between headline and background could improve scannability. Thumbnails live or die on visual hierarchy.
