Day 24 — Learning to Choose the Right Projects
When I started freelancing, I was ready to apply for almost every opportunity I found.
But after reaching out to businesses and reviewing different project requirements, I've realized something important:
Getting a client isn't just about convincing someone to hire you. It's also about knowing whether you're the right person for the job.
Some projects require custom development. Others need complete brand identity work. My current focus is on responsive landing pages and websites built with Framer and WordPress.
I'm learning to ask better questions before committing:
What problem does the client want to solve?
Can I deliver the work confidently?
Is the budget reasonable for the scope?
Can I meet the deadline without compromising quality?
I'm still working on getting more clients, but I'm also learning how to approach freelancing more professionally.
Day 24 — Fewer random applications, more relevant opportunities.

🚀 The Keel website is now live!
I designed Keel as a fintech website concept focused on presenting financial products through a clean layout, clear messaging, and a simple user experience.
I’ve also built the website in Framer. Check it out below!
🎨 Built with Framer: https://thekeel.site/
Always happy to hear your feedback!
Congrats on the launch Nilkanth! Keel looks super clean — love how you kept the fintech messaging simple and focused. The "Take Control of Your Financial Future" hero with the app preview balances trust and clarity perfectly. Great job building it in Framer too!
Designers, which direction would you go with: photography or illustration?

I'll prefer photos, specially talking about organizations in your page, human faces and real scenarios can have a better effect in this case.
Hits different when people told you freelancing wouldn’t work. 🤫📉
Hit $25K earned on Contra (a couple weeks ago) and turned 22. 🎂💸 Honestly feels surreal, but I’m proud of it.
Next stop $50K. 🚀 We’re just getting started.
Huge achievement at 22! 🎉 Your consistency is paying off. Wishing you even more success on the way to $50K! 🚀
