Congrats, that's such a good feeling. Was it a project close to what you'd been pitching for, or did it come out of nowhere?
Must've felt incredible!!

It’s funny how freelancing works sometimes
I’ve completed 7+ projects through Dribbble, met some great clients, and had the chance to work on projects I’m genuinely proud of. But here on Contra, I’m still waiting for that first project to come along.
I know good work takes time to find the right people, so I’m staying positive and continuing to do what I love.
If you’re looking for someone to help with your website, design, or development project, I’d love to connect and see how I can help.
Here’s to new connections and hopefully some exciting collaborations ahead!
Great work 👍🏻

⏳ Save a couple minutes or hours a day to engage with the community and apply to Contra Jobs.
📄 Contract (protect yourself before you need to)
📊 Presentation template to stop rebuilding every one from scratch.
💸 Price list (custom quotes, yes. Starting from zero every time, no.)
📋 Client onboarding questionnaire (get the info before the chaos)

What would you add to the starter pack?
Let's talk about starting out on Contra. 👋
For those of you who've been freelancing on Contra for a while, I'd love to hear about your experience.
When you were starting out, what made the biggest difference in turning your skills into services clients were actually willing to pay for?
Was it how you positioned your services, the quality of your portfolio, how you approached potential clients, or something else entirely?
I'm building my own freelance business and believe there's a lot to learn from people who've been through the process. I'd love to hear what worked for you, what surprised you, and what you'd do differently if you were starting today.
