Hey Contra community 👋

I've been actively applying to projects here and getting some traction (matches, views, conversations) but I want to learn from those who've cracked the code.

For those landing consistent clients on Contra: - What does your profile look like? (headline, bio structure, portfolio setup) - Do you apply to every relevant job or are you selective? - Video proposals vs text - what's working for you? - How do you stand out when 10-15 people have already applied?

Any tips for international freelancers competing with US/EU-based talent? I'm a fullstack developer with 6+ years, 4 live iOS apps, and experience across fintech, energy, and e-commerce. Getting views but want to improve my conversion rate from application to hire.

Drop your tips, tricks, or lessons learned. Even the small stuff helps.
