It's not a reintroduction, but my very first post here, so here you go! 👋
Hi everyone!
I’m Mfonobong Umondia, but you can call me Bella. I specialize in community and program management and love turning ideas into impactful experiences.
I’ve just updated my freelancer profile here on Contra and I’m excited to start working with clients on amazing projects. I’m still learning and optimizing my profile as I explore the platform, but I can’t wait to collaborate, create, and bring ideas to life.
While I’ll be applying for projects, if you have something in mind, or just want to connect, feel free to reach out!
My big goal for 2026 on Contra is to cross $10k in freelance earnings, and I’m looking forward to building meaningful partnerships and delivering real value to clients along the way.

Congrats!!
I've been quietly building something for freelancers and independent creatives.
It's called The IVY 🌱
A personal discovery assistant that helps you find freelance opportunities matching your skills and interests, without endless scrolling.
Today, Ivy checked 51 posts on social and surfaced 3 relevant projects.
It's still early, but it's starting to do exactly what I built it for.
I'm preparing a small private beta and would love to connect with freelancers interested in testing it and sharing feedback.
this is so dope!
Hey Contra friends! 👋❤️
My name is Yash Patel, and I'm 23 years old, from the beautiful state of Gujarat, India. 🇮🇳
I'm writing this post because I genuinely need some advice and support from this amazing community.
I've been working in the tech and digital marketing industry for the past 3 years. My skills include:
💻 Web Development (React, Next.js, Shopify, WordPress)
🎨 UI/UX Design & Website Design
📈 Performance Marketing (Facebook Ads & Google Ads)
🚀 Building websites and digital experiences that help businesses grow.
I love what I do, and I'm confident in my skills. But there's one thing I'm still struggling with — getting my first freelance client.
It's been over 3 months since I started trying to find freelance work, and I haven't earned a single dollar yet.
I'm not sharing this for sympathy. I'm sharing it because I really want to learn, improve, and build something for myself.
At 23, one of my biggest dreams is to become financially independent and support my family. ❤️
I have the skills, I'm willing to work hard, and I'm ready to give my best to every opportunity. I just don't know how to get that first client who will trust me.
So I have a small request for my Contra friends:
If you're an experienced freelancer, how did you land your first client? What advice would you give someone like me who's just starting out?
And if you have a moment, please visit my Contra profile and check out my work. I'd genuinely appreciate your honest feedback.
Even a small piece of advice, a comment, a connection, or sharing my profile could mean a lot to me.
I'm not looking for shortcuts. I'm just looking for an opportunity to prove what I can do. 💪
Thank you for reading my story. I hope one day I'll be able to share my first freelance success here with all of you. ❤️
Sending love from Gujarat, India! 🇮🇳
