Please share tips or advice for getting new clients on contra.
Iβm new here, your response will go a long way π
$50K earned on Contra π Grateful to every client who trusted our team with their product!
The one move that changed my pipeline: invite past clients to bill through Contra so your profile carries real reviews and completed contracts before you apply anywhere. A profile with proof converts far better than a polished bio with none. Welcome in.

A small milestone worth sharing. π
I recently joined Contra with a new profile, and Iβm happy to see my Discovery Score reach 75 within just a few days putting me in the top 25% of creators on Contra.
Iβve been spending time refining my profile, portfolio, and services, so itβs great to see that effort starting to reflect in the score.
Still a long way to go, but definitely a nice start. Looking forward to continuing to improve, connect with great people, and build meaningful work through Contra.
Thanks to everyone here who makes the community such a great place to be. π
My honest review of Contraβs Co-Agent so far:
Itβs genuinely helpful at navigating the site and using tools throughout the platform. The biggest benefit for me is how it handles the first conversation when someone messages me.
It can ask for the initial project brief and organize the details before I step in. By the time I get to the prospective client, I have a much clearer picture of what they need, what theyβre looking for, and how I can help. That lets me jump into the conversation with context instead of starting from zero.
Where I struggle with the Co-Agent is when it starts making decisions on my behalf.
For example, if thereβs a job I know I can perform, but the Co-Agent decides Iβm not a good fit, it may prevent me from applyingβor even dismiss the opportunity without my consent. Thatβs a serious problem. It should be able to recommend, explain, and ask for confirmation. It shouldnβt remove opportunities from my decision-making process.
So, for messaging and gathering project details, I love it. For job applications and other tools, Iβm going to rely on outside sources for now. I donβt want to risk the Co-Agent dismissing jobs I know I can do simply because it interpreted my capabilities differently.
It should be a tool that I useβnot a tool that uses me.

"A tool that I use, not a tool that uses me" sums up the whole trust question with agentic tools pretty well. Have you flagged this to Contra directly? Feels like the kind of feedback that should shape a setting, not just live in a community post.
