I haven't landed a Contra client yet, so I can't give you a success formula. In my latest 30-day numbers, Contra itself sent only 1 of 70 portfolio views, so I'd use a strong profile and useful comments here to support direct outreach.

What worked for me: end each portfolio project on the outcome, not just the visuals, then stay useful in the feed so a profile visit is already warm. My first clients came from people who saw me being helpful here first.

Welcome, my friend! Iโ€™m new here too, so I donโ€™t have any tips to share yet, but one thing is certain: this place seems like a really interesting space for new connections, friendships, and professional collaborations.
