Hello contra I've been away for some time because of my exam and for the first time I got a real invite on contra and many offers but when duty calls I can't ignore.

Hoping for more beautiful future here. Thank you and happy new year

And I'm Ibrahim Sarumi, the founder of Sarumilostudios. I specialize in helping businesses and ecommerce brands build high-converting websites and implement strategic email marketing systems that drive consistent sales.

tbh I used to work on LinkedIn but got rejected several times, then I started on Contra and here again got no luck. But the good thing about Contra is that your work got appreciated a lot. How about you?

That's actually one thing about freelancing.

I have been trying on LinkedIn but I got banned and now on contra, I have profiles on different freelancing platforms thinking on which one will receive order on time and change my story but it's not yet happening soon

I just joined Contra as a full stack developer and honestly this platform already feels different from everything else out there.

No middlemen. No platform eating into your earnings. Just real people doing meaningful work on their own terms. That alone made me pause and think seriously about how I show up here.

I am still in that early exploration phase. Figuring out how the community moves, what clients here actually value, and what separates the people winning on Contra from the ones who never get traction.

So instead of guessing my way through it, I am going straight to the source and asking the people who have actually built something real here.

If you have built something meaningful on Contra, I genuinely want to hear from you.

Drop your answers below and tell me:

What are the 5 things a new independent should focus on to actually grow on this platform?

And what are the 5 things I should completely avoid like the traps, the time wasters, the things that quietly kill momentum?

I am not here chasing quick wins. I want to build a presence that attracts the right clients, a portfolio that does the talking, and relationships that actually last.

If you have been exactly where I am right now or you wish someone had handed you a roadmap on day one, drop it in the comments. Your words might be the turning point for someone just getting started.

New to Contra Looking for Advice Hi everyone, I recently joined Contra but haven’t received any projects or client inquiries yet. I’m wondering if there might be something I should improve on my profile. I’d really appreciate any advice or feedback from those who’ve had success on the platform. Thanks in advance!
