Congratulations on hitting 50K! Any advice for anyone starting on Contra? I've been here for two months and it's so hard to get work going, but I'm hopeful.
I would suggest you look at the jobs that are more relevant to you and try sending proposal to them only. Client on Contra are looking for the exact work example rather than someone who's "Jack of all and master of none."
Happy to answer any of your question in specifics.
it's monday so let's talk how did your last week go? i'll share how mine went!
- i just sent off a proposal to an inquiry i got earlier this week
- i went to a woman's founder event on wednesday! (picture tax below 🤭)
- i attended a 3 day online conference called "paid talker challenge" by Kendra Taul & i now have a whole new service offering i'll be sharing about SO soon 👀
i'd call that a pretty productive week! what about you? i'm nosy
In the last 14 days I've landed my first 2 clients with glowing reviews, got accepted into the exclusive Contra Labs for top-tier talent, and I'm currently negotiating high-ticket monthly retainers. ☕️
