Hey everyone,
I've applied to over 15 projects where I'm a strong fit, but I'm not getting responses from most clients. Only one notified me the position was filled, which I appreciated.
I know clients get busy and receive many applications, so I'm curious:
Is this normal on Contra?
What's the best way to follow up without being pushy? Should I:
Send a follow-up message after a few days?
Reach out through another channel?
Just keep applying to new projects?
I want to show genuine interest while respecting clients' time. Any insights or strategies that have worked for you would be helpful.
Thanks for any advice!

@Hichem Bennaceur It seems like you don't have any projects. Create case studies to build a superv first impression.
