Curious how other video editors and creatives here actually land consistent clients.

Was it LinkedIn outreach? Finding agencies that hire freelancers and getting on their roster? Showing up where clients already hang out?

I've been doing direct outreach via LinkedIn Sales Navigator, applying to agency rosters, and submitting proposals here on Contra. Getting traction but interested in what's actually worked for others - especially for repeat or ongoing relationships rather than one-off projects.

For context: I focus on branded content and corporate video, working with clients in the UK, Ireland, and Europe remotely from the Netherlands.

What moved the needle for you?

You’re hiring a creative agency. You open these two websites.

Same team. Same work. Different first impression.

Which one makes you think “okay, these people look fun to work with”?

I've been quietly building something for freelancers and independent creatives.

It's called The IVY 🌱

A personal discovery assistant that helps you find freelance opportunities matching your skills and interests, without endless scrolling.

Today, Ivy checked 51 posts on social and surfaced 3 relevant projects.

It's still early, but it's starting to do exactly what I built it for.

I'm preparing a small private beta and would love to connect with freelancers interested in testing it and sharing feedback.

I hit $10K in earnings a few days ago and received so many messages asking what I did differently.

honestly, the only thing that really helped me was stopping the overthinking.I stopped thinking about all the possibilities. Stopped thinking about when it would happen. Stopped...
