$400K+ earned on Upwork. Now I'm starting from zero on Contra.
For years I worked almost only on Upwork. But lately, in my experience, it keeps adding new features that make life harder for freelancers instead of easier.
So I decided to try something new.
Honest status: no clients on Contra yet. I'm staying disciplined: showing up here every day and delivering for my current clients.
Attached is my Upwork profile, so you know where I'm coming from.
Landing page section, made with one major need clarity for client, is important for us to guild your client to the product or services without confusion from different unnecessary NOISE .
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!
