I started at Top 75% on Contra.
After consistently improving my profile and activity, I’m now in the Top 5%.
Next milestone: Top 1%.
For those who have already made that jump, what actually helped you move from Top 5% → Top 1%?
I’d love to hear what made the biggest difference for you.
congratulations .
Thanks Rajesh, Dropped you a follow. Let's grow together🙌 .
Hey Mereawi, congrats on Top 5% that's awesome!
Quick question though, does the ranking actually bring in more clients or is it more of a credibility thing? And if you could go back, what's the one thing you'd tell yourself NOT to do?
Would love to hear what's actually worked for you!
Thanks Feroj, I believe it means the more discoverable you'll be which means there would more chance to get a client.
For the other question, There isn't a single thing I'd tell myself not to do, but 'to do'. I would say engaging more with people's post and connecting with them.
Dropped you a follow btw.

didn’t expect to hit 200+ points this fast since I started being active on @Contra HQ in early 2026.
amazing work congrats.
Just hit Top 1 percent of creatives on Contra.
163 points.
Started with zero clients and a lot of cold outreach.
Now working with founders and startups building websites and funnels.
Proof that consistency really compounds.
Still just getting started.
Congratulations 🎉
I framed every section around one question:
What does a high-intent buyer need to see, feel, and understand to take the next step?
This is where my growth background came in.
I didn't just picking layouts, I designed a funnel that matches how the ICP actually make decisions.
marketing is my love language lol, can you tell? 🤣
new thumbnail exploration for recent project. Which one do you like better?
