Hi, I am new to Contra. I have a question. I wanted to look at the job section, but I'm unable to view it. Its say you only can view jobs that are posted 24 hours before. But I am not even able to see those jobs as well. I am on the free plan. So do I need to get on premium to even see the jobs? Or am I missing something.
Hi I'm new to Contra freelance site, am a UI/UX designer for more than 5 years, Here are some of my sample UI design works if you'd like to hire me for your work please review my profile and inbox me, Thank you!
3 years on Contra. A lot of effort. Still trying to figure out what I'm missing
I've been on Contra for almost three years, and I want to be genuinely honest about my experience I've invested so much time into this platform I've built and published projects consistently shared my work engaged with other creatives participated in challenges applied to opportunities and tried different ways to get noticed
But despite all that effort I still haven't managed to turn my presence here into consistent paid work
I'm not writing this to complain about the platform I genuinely want to learn from people who've figured it out
For those of you who successfully get clients through Contra
What actually helped you land your first few clients?
How important is the Discovery Score in getting discovered by potential clients?
Are there strategies that made a real difference beyond posting projects and sending proposals?
If you were starting again today, what would you do differently?
I've reached a point where I'm seriously reconsidering how much time and money I should continue investing in the platform
I'd really appreciate honest advice especially from designers who've been through the same experience and eventually figured it out
Sometimes a piece of practical advice from someone who's been there can make all the difference.
