Congrats, top 15% is a solid milestone. Was there a specific stretch of work or a change in habits that pushed the score up, or has it been more of a slow steady climb from just staying consistent?
Staying consistent has increased the score also reviews from my clients as well 👀🎉

Hey Contra 💃 Something big happened, I became one of the winners of the 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻 $𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 🏆
First of all, thank you all for the incredible support ❤️🫶✨

I was also surprised to learn at the winners' announcement that the team is only 8 people, as Aibek Yegemberdin mentioned
That’s insane.
It really shows how talented this team is. Highly recommend everyone to try it.

A month and a half ago, on June 5, I got serious about Contra. And now there are a hundred of us.
A bit of context. I've got 3+ years on Upwork behind me: $70K earned, Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. But over the last six months something broke. Fewer invites, shrinking budgets, client expectations through the roof, and the platform's fees just keep climbing. The strange part — I was doing exactly what I'd always done. It wasn't me. A lot of people are saying the same thing right now: Upwork isn't what it used to be.
At some point I just decided to stop knocking on a closed door and try something new. That's how I ended up here.
And yeah, I'm starting from zero again. Zero followers, zero reviews, building it all back up. A little scary, honestly.
But in these six weeks:
✅ earned my first $1,000 on Contra
✅ got the Jitter Expert badge
✅ and my last post pulled 1.5K views and 3 Goats 🐐
So a 100 isn't just a number. It's a sign the new path works. Thank you to everyone who's been here from the start 💛
Onward 🚀
Congrats! Wishing you many more milestones on Contra.
Three months ago, I joined Contra—and honestly, it feels like I’ve found the absolute best community of creative minds out there. I am just incredibly happy to be here! ✨
It’s been a whirlwind in the best way possible. In this short time, I’ve managed to win a couple of amazing challenges, connected with a truly fantastic client, and seeing my projects get featured on the homepage still makes me smile every single time. 🥰
I put a lot of heart into running all my social media channels because my biggest goal is to inspire other designers to create and grow. I truly believe that at the end of the day, it’s sheer professionalism and a genuine love for your craft that attracts the right people.
Thank you for being so welcoming and inspiring. I can't wait to create more beautiful things together! 🚀
