Most freelancers on Contra are trying too hard to get clients.
They keep changing their profile.
Changing their portfolio.
Lowering their prices.
Sending more proposals.
But there’s something more important:
Can a potential client immediately see why they should choose you?
I stopped trying to sell “Shopify design.”
I started showing people what was wrong with real stores and how I would fix it.
That changed the conversation.
Instead of:
“I’m a Shopify expert. Hire me.”
It becomes:
“Here are 5 things hurting your store’s conversions, and here’s how I’d fix them.”
Expertise is easier to sell when people can see it.
If you're a freelancer on Contra, stop only telling people what you can do.
Show them how you think.
That might be the content that gets you your next client.
