What kept you going in that early stretch before you had any social proof to point to? That's usually where most people quit. Congrats on hitting $5k, patience clearly paid off here.
I kept showing up! It felt disappointing at first, but the more I refined my portfolio (either with personal projects or with my off-platfrom client projects) the more on-platform clients showed up.
Huge congratulations, Georgia! Starting with zero social proof is the hardest part, so hitting $5K through consistent work is incredibly inspiring to those of us currently building our foundation.
I used to freelance on Upwork back in 2019β2020, and recently found Contra.
Joined today and got some of my work together in one place.
Love seeing so many talented people here.
Here's me and my Mom lol
