I get a lot of comments like this one, and I wanted to share a few things I've learned about getting clients on Contra:

✨ Use less AI when applying or posting on the community, please!! People can tell. Make your message sound like you.

📖 Build case studies and show your process.

🎯 Apply only to projects that genuinely match your skills and portfolio. Fewer, better applications beat sending dozens.

And one more thing... I don't land every job I apply for and when I have a very slow month, I use that time to improve my portfolio and keep showing my work. Eventually, the right clients find me.

What advice would you add?

Especially that using less AI… people be sounding robotic and fake it’s almost hard to read what they say here…

thanks for the insight

Over the past two weekends, 𝗜 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗗𝗜𝗦𝗖 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽 🤓📚 I expected to learn about personality types, but instead I learned a lot about communication 🫂 My results leaned toward a 🔴D/🔵C profile — 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀-𝗱𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀. It explained many of my leadership and decision-making patterns. But the biggest takeaway was realizing that not everyone communicates, makes decisions, or responds to feedback the same way. That's the biggest value of the DISC framework Whether you lead a team, work with clients, or collaborate with others, understanding different communication styles helps you build stronger relationships and avoid unnecessary friction.

By the way, you can even try exploring your DISC profile with ChatGPT 😄 It won't replace a professional assessment, but if you've been chatting with it for a while, it can already reflect quite a lot about your communication style and give you useful insights.

that's interesting
