i admit i was about to give up on contra... 😅

coming from upwork to contra, what a ride. contra wins on the fact that there's no connects, there's a community, and it always pushes you to interact and be active to reach a better score.

the thing is, after a lot of applications, got some nice interactions, reached the point of contracts, and then... nothing. clients that completely disappeared. 👻

happened quite a few times. not the most inspiring feeling... well, this is to say - i didn't give up, and even if it might seem like baby steps, it is a step. 🐾

a win is a win. honestly i was hesitating to share this, because it's 0% about the number.

it's so much more that someone trusted my work, gave it a shot! So I think it's fair to sayyyy, i'm onto you contra 🤍

Made my first $1K on Contra in 2025 using Framer + Spline.

:Never really celebrated it.

A lot of that came from repeat clients and word of mouth. Once that work dried up, I realized I had never built a proper system for getting new clients consistently.

So I’m starting again.🚀

Same skills. Better work. Better outreach. Better positioning.
