The platform has made it so easy for me to expand my agency, achieve my financial goals and work with brands that I wouldn't have imagined in my wildest dreams. Working for yourself can be super challenging, but having a support system like the community to give you advice and motivate you, is truly awesome 🤩

I love Contra and all they are doing with their platform! The community of freelancers you can connect with and the sheer quality of jobs is what makes this (in my opinion) better than other freelance sites!

I saw a Contra job posting for creating ad graphics this weekend. I knew it was up my alley! I quickly created a project around the ads I've created in the past and linked it in my pitch, and actually got it!! We've already started the project and I'm loving it!

Contra is such a great platform, for both freelancers and people looking to hire freelancers. I can’t recommend it enough! The team is amazing and always looking for ways to help out independents.

As a freelance designer, I coudn't be more satisfied with the platform that fills all my needs. I’ve tried a lot of other freelance platforms, but I’ve always felt pressured and lost, like a fish out of water. But Contra is a totally different story - their amazing community truly made me feel at home and I don’t think I’ll ever want to leave Contra.
