Massive win, Congratulations 🎉
Congratulations on hitting 50K! Any advice for anyone starting on Contra? I've been here for two months and it's so hard to get work going, but I'm hopeful.
I would suggest you look at the jobs that are more relevant to you and try sending proposal to them only. Client on Contra are looking for the exact work example rather than someone who's "Jack of all and master of none."
Happy to answer any of your question in specifics.
That's a very good insight! Do you provide relatable examples to the application as well, right?
Congratulations

Two months later: 141 → 158. Still top 5%.
Last time I posted, my Contra Discovery Score was 141.
Today it’s 158, and I’m still in the top 5% of creatives.
A few things changed since then.
I became a Lummi Expert, which gave me an expert badge, featured placement, and more visibility inside Contra.
I also stopped treating my portfolio like a gallery and started treating it more like proof.
Recently I added a full Aegir Aqua case study series:
Brand identity, packaging & 3D
Presentation design
Website design & development
Same client, but split into separate case studies so each type of work is easier for clients to understand.
That has probably been the biggest portfolio improvement for me lately.
I’m also still sending proposals consistently.
That part hasn’t changed.
My last post was basically saying: if your profile is already strong, the problem is often not the profile it’s volume.
I still believe that.
But now I’d add one thing:
Volume gets you seen. Proof gets you taken seriously.
A strong proposal gets the click.
A strong case study gives the client a reason to stay.
And having both working together is where things start compounding.
So the progress since August:
141 → 158 Discovery Score
Still top 5%
Lummi Expert badge
More complete case studies
Better positioning across brand, packaging, 3D and web
Still refining. Still applying. Still learning what actually moves the needle.
If anyone is working on their Contra profile, case studies, or proposals, happy to share what’s been working for me.
Hey Asad congratulations on your growth. 😍 I am new to contra and I am still learning and your post was very informative for me. Could you plese guide me more on how I can grow here?
$1,000 on Contra. 🎉
Today, I hit a milestone I’ve been looking forward to: my first $1k on Contra.
Feels good to see the work, consistency, and showing up start to add up.
From joining Contra to reaching the top 1% of creatives, and now crossing $1k… pretty wild when I think about it.
Grateful for the clients, opportunities, lessons, and growth along the way.
On to the next $5k. 🚀
Still building. Still learning. Still growing.
congratulations
Congratulations!
When I moved from Upwork to Contra, I wasn’t sure whether I was making the right decision.
Now? I’m never going back.
Contra has given me more than a place to find work. It has connected me with clients who value my professional perspective, trust my expertise, and invest...
congratulations
