Hey Contra 👋 I’m Alex, founder of a Hyperactive design agency we built ~80K followers on Dribbble, stayed Top Rated Plus on Upwork for 5 years, and got featured among Dribbble’s top product design agencies in 2025.
𝐁𝐮𝐭 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐳𝐞𝐫𝐨.
Maybe someone remembers me from Contra’s challenge, where I won $3K that was the moment I fell in love with this platform.
I've set myself one goal: 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫.
I’ll share what I do to grow here, what works, what doesn’t, and what other freelancers/studios can repeat.
Smash that follow button if you want to take on this challenge with me.
𝐃𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐢𝐧 𝐚 𝐲𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜? 👀
🐐+ 💬 = ❤️
Inspiring & I'm sure you'll continue to be successful also here 🙌
@Contra HQ is built for experts, and that's exactly why it wins
while I've seen with my eyes other platforms race to the bottom on fees and commoditize freelancers, @Contra HQ keeps putting experts first (and I love this)
- better visibility and zero commission
- a tool that actually respect how independents work
- it's not an accident, it's a philosophy in their culture and team...
(as @Gajus Kuizinas told me in an interview at UnContrad)
shoutout to the @Contra HQ team for continuing to build with that energy
we see it 🙌
Yes, it’s truly wonderful to realize that this isn’t just a platform for selling services, but a place where you can network and build friendships with other experts. Contra is doing a great job of fostering the global design community they’re doing a fantastic job 👍 😍
Awesome combination of tools, layout & animations!
