currently stuck in 105, hopefully will reach 150+ mark soon
105 is already a great foundation. 150 is closer than you think! Just keep delivering and the score follows. You've got this 💪🔥
Honestly I’m a bit frustrated right now. I’ve been putting a lot of effort into Contra — optimized my profile, got my discovery score really high — but still haven’t landed a client yet.
Feels like I’m doing everything right but not getting results, which is kinda discouraging....
Honestly I feel this and first don't be too hard on yourself because almost every freelancer goes through this exact phase 🙏 A high discovery score means people are finding you so that part is already working. The gap is usually in the proposals. Are you leading with value and...
That's really cool!!! 🎉 I'd love to hear about your journey, since I also work on promotion on Contra 😍
Thank you! 🎉 The journey wasn't overnight, lots of proposals, refining my profile, and letting the work speak for itself. Still learning every day! Would love to connect and hear what's been working for you too 🤝

284 in 6 months? That's insane, you're on a rocket 🚀 Clearly delivering. Let's see where you land by the end of the year 👀
thanks

⚠️ SCAM ALERT — Please Read Before Accepting Any Job Invitations ⚠️
I want to warn the Contra community about an active phishing scam targeting freelancers.
How it works:
You receive a message about a WordPress or development project (in my case from someone claiming to be from "HitBox Games")
They ask you to book a discovery call via a Calendly link
The link looks exactly like a real Calendly page — but it is FAKE and hosted on their own domain
The page shows a "Sign in with Google" button — if you click it, they capture your Google account access and can log into your Gmail from their side
I confirmed this by reviewing the page source code, which contains hidden malicious scripts that steal your data.
Red flags to watch for:
— The recruiter uses a Gmail address instead of a company email
— The Calendly link does NOT start with calendly.com
— They create urgency around booking quickly
Please be careful and always verify Calendly links before signing in with Google. Real Calendly links always start with calendly.com.
Stay safe everyone. 🙏
thanks! stay safe! 🙏
