Just 2 weeks on Contra and top 5% 🤯 🇧🇷 WHAT??
In the last 14 days I've landed my first 2 clients with glowing reviews, got accepted into the exclusive Contra Labs for top-tier talent, and I'm currently negotiating high-ticket monthly retainers. ☕️
If you’re just getting started: your profile is your sales funnel. The Contra score follows clarity, proof of work, and real strategy.
Feel free to follow my profile, mirror the structure of my case studies, and use it as a framework to elevate your own positioning. Keep grinding! 👊
Amazing results, Bernardo! Did you focus on outbound pitches or optimizing your profile for inbound search first?
Thanks! I focused 100% on profile optimization and case studies first. Then used that to make my pitches close way faster.
Nice tip! I just started following you 😊
congrats!
Thanks! Really appreciate it
That’s fast! Did you use Contra Pro from day one or start with the free plan?
Started free to set up the case studies, then upgraded to Pro right after landing the first client. Definitely worth it!
Of course I'm gonna follow! 👏👏
Huge.

@Contra HQ 's Top 100 came out this weekend, I got #89 of 1300+ users. I'm locking in to make sure I stay on there between now and Sept 30th.
I'm posting every day until then, about the web, automation and AI work I do for nonprofits, mission-driven teams and small businesses. Tell me what you want first: a project teardown, how I price work, or the jobs that went sideways?
My company, Red Mage, has a tarot theme, so each post gets a card that fits its story. Today's is the Wheel of Fortune. It's the card for the part you don't control: the wheel turns whether you're ready or not, and the only move that matters is what you do when it turns. Fitting, because the list already moved. I was #86 this weekend when I first checked.
If you've been sitting on a website, automation or AI project you keep meaning to fix, my portfolio and client reviews are here: contra.com/andersthemagi
Here's how you can help:
• Like it. It sounds small, but it all adds up.
• Comment with the post you want first. Comments carry it even further.
• Share or repost one that's useful, with a line about why.
• Tag someone who's sitting on a project like that. An intro is the biggest help there is.
• Worked with me before? A review on my Contra profile goes a long way.
Thank you. I'll report back on the 30th, wherever the wheel lands.
Well done
Woke up to these messages today 🤩
Never really thought my first features on Contra would feel this reassuring. Seeing both Direct Design and Nexterra get picked by the Contra team honestly means a lot.
There’s always that little doubt when you put your work out there, wondering if it’s good enough, if the right people are seeing it or if you’re moving in the right direction.
So this was a really nice reminder to keep going and keep making things I believe in.
Thank you to the Contra team for noticing the work and for the little bit of encouragement I didn’t know I needed. 🫶
More to come. 🌠
