Recently reached a 128 Discovery Score, and for some reason, I still feel like I don’t fully understand how this platform works, especially when it comes to sourcing clients as a software developer.

Maybe I need to focus more on improving my Discovery Score, or perhaps the better approach is to find clients elsewhere and bring them onto Contra. Honestly, I’m still figuring out the best way to go about it.

Would love to hear from other developers who have successfully landed clients through Contra. What has worked for you?

I've been using Contra for a while now, mostly as a place to showcase our work.

But lately I've been wondering how people actually use the platform to get hired.

Is it the projects you publish? Your profile? Being active in the community? Applying to jobs?

We've had clients find us through different places, but Contra still feels a little different to me. There's the portfolio side, the community side, the job side, and I'm not sure how much each one actually matters.

So I'm curious: if you've gotten projects through Contra, what actually worked for you?

I'd especially love to hear from people who've been using it for a while, not just what you're supposed to do, but what actually led to a project.
