Looking for Advice: How Can I Get My First Project on Contra?
Hi everyone! 👋
I joined Contra with the hope of finding exciting freelance opportunities and working with clients from around the world. However, since creating my account, I haven't been able to land my first project yet.
I'm a frontend developer with skills in React, Next.js, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS. I'm continuously working on improving my skills and building projects to showcase my abilities.
I'd love to hear from experienced freelancers and other developers here:
What helped you land your first client on Contra?
How important are portfolio projects and profile optimization?
Are there any tips for getting noticed by potential clients?
I'm here to learn, connect, and grow as a freelancer. Any genuine advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Today I’m celebrating a milestone that means a lot to me — reaching $50K in earnings on Contra!
Behind this number are dozens of projects, creative challenges, great collaborations, and, most importantly, people who trusted me with their ideas and businesses.
Over the years, I've had the opportunity to work across brand identity, web design and development, e-commerce, UI/UX, and creative production.
Every project has taught me something new, pushed me creatively, and helped me grow.
A big thank you to all the clients who trusted me, the people I've collaborated with, and the Contra community for being part of this journey.
This is not the finish line. Just another milestone along the way.
Here's to the next $50K and even bigger creative challenges! 🚀
