First week on Contra, done ✨
Coming from Upwork, this has definitely been a bit of a learning curve, but I’ve been enjoying it so far. Gonna be honest, by day 3 I wasn’t fully into it yet.
I started with a discover score of 53 and I’m now at 86, which honestly just makes me want to keep improving and see how far I can take it.
Any advice for newbies here on Contra? 👀
Thankss a lot 😊 @Madi 💫
Welcome to Contro. Sounds like an amazing first week. I wish you the best of luck.
Thanks a lot @Daniel G Bright Yess, exicted for what is coming 😊
Impressive :)
Thanks!! @Umar Tanveer :)
Welcome Francisca!
Thanks @Thiago Patriota !
Be consistent, and you’ll see results here. I also came from Upwork about 5 months ago, and now my discovery score is 273.
That's truly amazing! @Ali Hassan thanks for the advice and congrats for your work 😁🙏
So glad to hear @Wasim Dia thanks for the advice 🙏
Awesome, keep it up! 👍
Thanks!! @Wael ElSawi
I am from upwork and fiverr. Just started 2 weeks ago. trying to take clients from outside.
That's a great ideia @Md Mehdi Hasan Wishing you all the luck as well :) !
hat's really motivating for someone just starting out like me! The honesty about day 3 is so real !! How did you push through that early slow phase?
Hi Francisca, I'm also new to Contra, so I don't have any tips unfortunately, but maybe you have some for me ? How did you increase your discovery score ? I also noticed we're quite close geographically, you're in Hendaye and I'm in Bordeaux :)
Hii Jade 😊 Ahh no way, we are so near! Welcome to Contra!
Still in a learning curve, but from what I've explored so far, here's some stuff that's been helping me:
1 - Apply to projects regularly
2 - Make sure the profile projects are optimized
3 - Engage with community
4 -...
Hey again! Thanks a lot for your reply, I'm gonna try to work on all these things. I didn't know that applying to projects regularly makes a difference, but it makes sense. Looking forward to seeing your next project Francisca ! See you around :)

Best message I got today:
"You have 27 new followers on Contra!"
🙏 welcome everybody - new project are on the way!
Top 1% Thank you, Contra! 🙂
A few months ago I got to work with Coderhouse, one of the leading education brands in Argentina, and the place where I took several courses myself.
So this one feels like a full circle. A brand that shaped my career and helped me grow as a designer, and now I got to design for it.
The funny part is Chris had no idea I was a former student when he reached out. I was really happy when that message came in.
I built a visual system for their 60+ course covers, made so their team can keep producing them on their own. Today it lives across their app, website and Meta ads.
Thanks Chris for trusting my work and for the opportunity 🧡 And thanks @Contra HQ for making connections like this one possible.
Felicitaciones Jere! muy bueno el proceso y el resultado final
