I'm about to start my freelancing journey on Contra, and I'd love to learn from those who've been here longer than me. π
For the freelancers who've already been through the early stages, I'd love to hear your honest experiences.
What do you wish you had known when you started? Have you landed clients through Contra? And what actually helped you get your first opportunity?
If you could give just ONE piece of advice to someone starting on Contra today, what would it be?

One of my posts went SUPER VIRALLLL. π
80K+ views. 300+ likes. 50+ UpGoats. Hundreds of conversations.
All from one line I wrote straight from the heart.
"The miracles you're looking for are in the work you're avoiding."
I wrote it because that's genuinely how I felt. No strategy. No expectations. Just something I believed in.
I never imagined it would resonate with so many people, let alone become one of the most talked-about lines on my profile.
And now, looking at these numbers, the line hits differently. Sometimes, the sign you're waiting for is the work you've been putting off. Maybe the miracle really is on the other side of doing it. π€
Congratulations, Anky! Itβs encouraging to see your hard work paying off. I just joined Contra and Iβm still figuring things out, so seeing posts like this gives me a little extra motivation. Hopefully, Iβll have my own milestone to share here someday!
Hits different when people told you freelancing wouldnβt work. π€«π
Hit $25K earned on Contra (a couple weeks ago) and turned 22. ππΈ Honestly feels surreal, but Iβm proud of it.
Next stop $50K. π Weβre just getting started.
Huge achievement at 22! π Your consistency is paying off. Wishing you even more success on the way to $50K! π
Best advice I can give to other freelancers is, if you have few hours with nothing to do, go outside, go drink coffee and do what you love to do. It will fill you with energy you didn't know you can have! β¨
definitely disconnect from screens can bring a wave of fresh ideas
