two years ago I was charging less than a grand for a website.
this week I crossed $960k on Contra.
same hands and same tools but the thing that really changed is I stopped charging for my time and started charging for what the work is worth to the company.
took me way too long to get this however when you bill hourly you're basically punishing yourself for getting good, you spend years getting faster and cleaner and the reward is you make less for the same result which makes no sense.
and half the time you're designing for a company that's about to raise millions, you're a big part of why they look fundable in the first place. charging that by the hour like it's a favor never sat right with me.
so at some point you just say the number, not a random one though.
sit down, figure out what each thing is actually worth to you, write it down, then say it out loud without doing the nervous little discount thing we all do.
the pricing was never the hard part but believing I was worth it was and I'm still working on that some days, however the number's finally catching up to the work.
anyway, road to a million, one project at a time. the count's live on my Contra profile if you want to watch it happen.
I saw this post on x , you’re my biggest motivation
I can do this too 🥹🙇♂️
⚠️ SCAM ALERT: Fake job offers targeting designers on Contra
Heads up, I recently got hit with a pretty convincing scam and want to make sure other freelancers on here don't fall for it.
I received two nearly identical emails, one from alex@dscufo.xyz and the other from harper.danie95@gmail.com, both pitching a company called ECHO and a product designer role. One of them even booked a call through my Calendly to make it look more legitimate.
They sent me to dscufo.xyz/career/design to apply. After filling out the form, they asked me to run a terminal command to "proceed with onboarding." That's where it got sketchy. The command was a one-liner designed to execute blindly, used a flag that disables SSL verification, and pulled from a suspicious domain. Classic malware/crypto-miner stuff.
No legitimate company will ever ask you to run a terminal command as part of a hiring process. If you get anything from DscUFO, ECHO, or a similar setup, don't click, don't apply, don't run anything. Just report it.
Stay safe everyone 🙏
Thanks for the heads-up
Woke up. Checked my email. Saw that my work got featured on Contra. 🤍
Safe to say my day started on a great note. ✨
Congratulations 🎊🎉
