Hi! I’m Yamila, and I’m 23 years old. I’m deeply curious, proactive, and passionate about continuous learning.
Almost two years ago, I decided to leave my job to start building my own business as a strategic brand identity designer.
A few months ago, I joined Contra, but until now I hadn’t given the platform the attention it deserves. This year, I want to make the most of it with more intention, focusing on teamwork and growing alongside other professionals.
I have many goals for this new year, and I’m excited about everything 2026 brings in terms of new projects, connections, and challenges.
I’d like to share the latest project I worked on — one of the most challenging and, at the same time, most rewarding experiences I’ve had so far. I’m very happy with the result.
💙

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?
I love this strategy and I think it's gonna pay off big time for you
