My profile sat at 89% because my identity/payment verification wouldn't go through.
I tried. I waited. I contacted support. And eventually, I just left the account alone.
Then I came across @Anky C. 's post about hitting $10K on Contra.
And something about it got me moving again.
Not because I suddenly expected to hit $10K...( Now, that wouldn't hurt now, would it?) 😆
But because it reminded me that I can't get anywhere if I don't start.
So I went back.
I completed the verification.
Set up my wallet.
Finished my profile.
Added my work.
Created my services.
And now?
I'm ready to actually use this thing.😔
I'm still figuring Contra out, but I'm excited to learn from people who've been here longer, connect with other independents, and hopefully collaborate along the way.
So if you're building here too, say hi.
I'd love to connect, exchange ideas, and see what everyone is working on.
It headbutted platforms like Upwork and Fiverr like a stubborn goat, challenging the old freelance model and making sure freelancers don't get underpaid.
