How hard is it to find real work on Contra or any freelance platform when you are just starting as a software team?
That is the question we are asking right now.
At LuvionSoftware, we are not here only to promote what we build. We are here to understand how independent teams, founders, designers, and developers actually start building trust on platforms like Contra.
For a software team, the challenge is not only “getting clients.”
It is learning how to communicate clearly:
What do we build?
Who do we help?
How do we prove we can deliver?
What should our first offers look like?
How do we show experience before the platform has generated enough social proof?
We believe the best way to start is not by pretending to know everything.
It is by listening first.
So we are asking the Contra community:
If you were starting today as a software team on Contra, what would you focus on first?
A strong portfolio?
A niche service?
Better positioning?
Daily content?
Direct outreach?
Case studies?
Lower-ticket first projects?
We are currently exploring the best way to use this platform as a team not just as a profile, but as a real channel for partnerships, client work, and long-term relationships.
If you have already found work here, we would appreciate your perspective.
What helped you get your first serious opportunity?

Well... Fiverr finally suspended my account. 😂
Honestly, I think we both moved on a while ago.
In the meantime, I brought some clients over to Contra, earned the referral bonuses, and now I get to focus on a platform that doesn't take 20% of every project.
Sometimes getting kicked out is just the universe helping you commit.
Even mine was permanently suspended, then I came across contra and have started my journey here.
Built this interactive Services section in Framer.
The goal was to keep it clean while making the content feel more engaging with smooth interactions.
I'd love your feedback.
What do you think of this interaction?
Amazing work
