Hello guys!
I am a bit confused about Contra.. is it impossible to find a job without paying for the Pro version? I am asking this because every time I click on jobs.. Contra takes me to the payment page.. I thought Contra was different and more hassle-free compared to other freelancing platforms..
Bottomline.. I am unable to understand Contra.. I cannot understand how to apply for jobs or how to look for clients or even how a client will find me to hire me for a task or job..
#needajob #pleasehireme Please help me understand Contra. I am asking for help to anyone who sees this post. I really need a job. Thank you!

tbh I don't understand how this will benefit creatives? So far, I only see a benefit for AI Agents: they will learn what is tasty based on our data, and the question is, why do they even need us anymore if they understand what is tasty and can do it by themselves?
Please tell me I'm wrong 😊
If you're on Contra, you probably know the pain of spending two hours on a proposal that never gets read.
That's why I built the Freelance Gig Agent, a Notion custom agent that helps you qualify, analyse, and review opportunities, then drafts tailored proposals and Loom note ideas for the ones worth pursuing as requested.
You paste a job. It does the thinking.
What it does:
→ Scores every opportunity across fit, competition, and client readiness
→ Flags green and red flags based on your profile
→ Writes a tailored proposal in your voice
→ Saves everything to your applications database automatically
→ Searches for new opportunities when you ask (limited by search access, but the agent can guide an automation setup)
Built for: Freelancers and independent consultants who apply to multiple opportunities and want a system that thinks with them.
Hope you enjoy it and if you use it, I'd love to hear how it goes. DM me here or on LinkedIn!
