Not in Contra, but thanks to Contra
Got my first lead from contra for a fully responsive website developmenet and design.
Congrats on the first lead from Contra, Abhishek!
Hey Contra friends! 👋❤️
My name is Yash Patel, and I'm 23 years old, from the beautiful state of Gujarat, India. 🇮🇳
I'm writing this post because I genuinely need some advice and support from this amazing community.
I've been working in the tech and digital marketing industry for the past 3 years. My skills include:
💻 Web Development (React, Next.js, Shopify, WordPress)
🎨 UI/UX Design & Website Design
📈 Performance Marketing (Facebook Ads & Google Ads)
🚀 Building websites and digital experiences that help businesses grow.
I love what I do, and I'm confident in my skills. But there's one thing I'm still struggling with — getting my first freelance client.
It's been over 3 months since I started trying to find freelance work, and I haven't earned a single dollar yet.
I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because I really want to learn, improve, and build something for myself.
At 23, one of my biggest dreams is to become financially independent and support my family. ❤️
I have the skills, I'm willing to work hard, and I'm ready to give my best to every opportunity. I just don't know how to get that first client who will trust me.
So I have a small request for my Contra friends:
If you're an experienced freelancer, how did you land your first client? What advice would you give someone like me who's just starting out?
And if you have a moment, please visit my Contra profile and check out my work. I'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback.
Even a small piece of advice, a comment, a connection, or sharing my profile could mean a lot to me.
I'm not looking for shortcuts. I'm just looking for an opportunity to prove what I can do. 💪
Thank you for reading my story. I hope one day I'll be able to share my first freelance success here with all of you. ❤️
Sending love from Gujarat, India! 🇮🇳

really honest post, thanks for sharing it. where have you been looking so far, platforms like this or reaching out to businesses directly?
Apex Moto Compound is an arrive-and-ride operating system built on Base44 for high-performance track venues. Traditional track days suffer from fragmented operations like manual gear sizing, long check-in queues, cold post-ride meals, and chaotic weather interruptions. Apex Compound connects venue hospitality, rider calibration, and track telemetry into a single automated platform.
Riders choose their circuit, size their squad, map the bike ECU, and sync paddock food orders in a streamlined five-step booking pipeline. Upon checkout, the system instantly generates a digital pass with a pre-staged locker bay, reducing paddock check-in to sixty seconds. Trackside food orders calculate checkered flag relative timers, holding tickets until eight minutes before session end so meals arrive hot. In the Race Control Tower, live telemetry monitors circuit grip and soil moisture, automatically rerouting outdoor heats to weatherproof indoor tracks during sudden rainstorms and cascading safety delays directly to the kitchen queue.
