Hey all,
I always talk about the business of design, so I’m sharing my analytics to help other creatives better understand what they mean and how they can improve results on the platform.
One advantage here is that I’m in the trenches with most of you, so we’re learning and figuring this out in real time.
I won’t write a full post here, but if you’re interested in platform analytics and how to benefit from them, the report is attached below:

Question for the Contra community:
How long did it take to land your first client here? 🚀
I’ve been on the platform for six weeks. While the user experience is great, I’m still waiting for that first "Yes."
For those consistently winning work:
Did you bring your own clients to the platform first? 🤝
How many Proposals did it take to get a win? ✉️
Does the platform favor specific niches or industries? 🎯
Let’s discuss what’s working in 2026!
Hi Alsiria, it took me 6 months and 66 applications to get my first client here on Contra. I didn't bring my clients to the platform because there are no real benefits for them if they already trust me.
I've heard of people getting their first client in weeks, and I remember one...
Today is a day to celebrate 🎉
Achieving this, after quitting my full-time job at a world-wide company after nearly seven years, feels incredible. It’s not about the position, and certainly not about the score. It’s about realizing that all that experience, knowledge, and personal growth was, and still is, worth it.
It’s been less than a year, and taking that leap of faith has already been totally worth it.
THANK YOU to everyone who trusts me with their projects.
Congratulations yeti
I will like to connect
6 months and 66 applications is what it took me to land my first client on Contra 🤯
Guess I hit the Devil's number lol 😈
I took this screenshot that same day and wanted to share it here because, when I started, I also wanted to have a sense of how much time and effort it would take.
But every niche is different, and so is the level. Mine is high-end video editing 🎥🎞️
They say it gets easier after the first client… we'll see ✌️😁
congratulations
