WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT YOU MIGHT BE DOING IT THE WRONG WAY 🤷‍♂️ ! This post is meant for Both New on @Contra HQ and Linkedin users as a freelancer, if you don’t find this interesting or educating to you, pls kindly scroll past to the next content 🙏. New Contra users, Stay With Me 💯 Here are few things I learnt lately and I decided to put it down, well I don’t wanna post it here before but I have promised to keep up with my content lately and yes sure I’m going to fulfill that 👌🥰. Lately I noticed a lot of people saying stuffs that aren’t even real, why I said it’s not real isn’t because I’m the perfect one, but at least please be able to defend what you post with evidence sometimes abeg 🤷‍♂️. I am not really into the fake it until you make it, I just think a lot of new Freelancers that really want to grow here on hasn’t gotten it right here, but I got you 😉, stay with me till the END. Here are few list I made to help you navigate your journey as a freelancer who wants to grow and network better in whatever skills you’ve learnt : 1. Growing connections: This doesn’t have to be something you should be desperate about, but be intentional about it by connecting with these set of people : A. People in your niche e.g ( Social media manager, email marketing specialist, web designers, UI/UX designer and so on. B. Make at least 10-20 list of people who will surely need your service like CEos, founders, small business owners and recruiters as well. C. Connect and follow with at least 10-20 new people per day, which should sum to 100 per week 2. Consistent Engagement: Search by making use of hastags that you know your audience might be using, filter down to posts , newest post to at least past week or 24hrs ⚡️. Make a meaningful and insightful comments on thier pages, this is called strategic connections in form of making awareness of what you can offer, remember it’s not really about you, it’s all about what you bring to the table 📌 3. Scheduling of content / posts : I do hear many ideas about creators doesn’t schedule posts, I think you should do what works for you, scheduling of posts saves much time, you will master time management and be more productive with other things at the end of the day. Post ideas 💡, create a progressive content that will lead to people acknowledging the fact that you’re not new in this and surely you have something to offer. I won’t be able to give much than this for today If this is your first time seeing my post 😌 I’m Adegbesan Eniola, an email marketing retention manager who helps both small, large scale business owners and even founders to not only increasing conversions but convert ONE -TIME customers to a real occurring client for a long period.

Thanks for sharing, man.

Empty states are the worst part of trying a new tool. You sign up, land in a blank workspace, and are supposed to imagine what the product feels like once it's actually being used. Most freelancers bounce before they get there. This week we shipped a fix in Mably. When a freelancer signs up now, their first screen is a fully-loaded demo project. ⭢ A sample client. 5 files. 4 links. 3 invoices. A live activity feed with 14 events. A 9-message chat thread going back and forth. You can walk through every screen your future client will see, the portal, the file approvals, the invoice page, the chat, before you ever create a real project of your own. No credit card. No 4-minute product tour. No empty dashboards. Just the actual product, pre-filled, ready to explore. Two reasons we built it this way: ⭢ Freelancers shouldn't have to pay to find out if a tool fits their workflow. ⭢ The thing that sells Mably isn't a feature list, it's seeing how clean your client's view will look. The demo shows you that in 30 seconds. When you're ready to start a real project, the button is right there. If you run client work, design, dev, video, consulting, copy, log in and poke around. The demo is waiting for you. We’re currently welcoming early beta users. If you’re a freelancer and want to test it for free, here's the link - https://mably.io/
