Congrats on your badge Trey!
Thank you!
$1.9M is a wild number to have moving through one platform. Does most of that come from repeat clients at this point, or is a good chunk still new people finding you through the expert badge itself?
Congrats ❤️

Glad to announce that I’m now officially a Rive Expert . Thanks to the team @Contra HQ 🎉✨
Just getting started on Contra 🚀
I recently moved to Contra and decided to build my profile from the ground up without a Pro subscription.
Already sitting at an 83 Discovery Score and Top 25% feels like a pretty encouraging start. 🙌
Now the goal is simple: keep improving the profile, showcase more of my work, connect with the right people, and hopefully land my first few projects here.
I’m primarily focused on Performance Marketing -Meta Ads, Google Ads & LinkedIn Ads, with landing pages and creative design as supporting skills.
Let’s see where this takes me. 🚀
If you’re on Contra too, feel free to connect would love to discover and support more creatives, marketers, and independent professionals here.

Is your Contra discovery score stuck? Mine went from top 45% to top 20% in 13 days, and posting more is not what moved it. And i need real Project On Contra😅
I log my score on every tag with a small script that reads all 48 options on the discovery page, so this is what actually changed between 27 August and 9 September 2026, and what did not.
What moved it:
Case studies. From 0 passing Contra's quality check to 15. Contra's checklist is short: a custom cover, a clear descriptive title, an engaging description, in-depth content and real media. My first two projects failed it, one on the description and one on the media.
Services. From 1 passing service to 9, each with its own cover, a descriptive title, a rate and a real summary. Every tag a service carries gets the lift, so tag the tools you actually used.
Profile quality, 66% to 100% after the profile rewrite.
Replying to the first inquiry quickly. Response time was blank until then. It now reads 2 hours.
The result: Overall top 45% to top 20%. Automation Engineer top 25% to top 10%. Make top 35% to top 20%.
What did not move it: the four days after. From 9 to 13 September every tag gained exactly 1 point. Nothing new on the profile, nothing moves.
And the three biggest levers on my board are still at zero: earnings, reviews and verified projects. All three come from the same move, one paid project routed through Contra, so that is where my next week goes.
One thing if you compare yourself with others: Contra's point scale changed between my runs, so compare your rank band (top X%) rather than the raw points.
What moved yours? If yours is stuck, reply with your score and the tag, and I will tell you which lever I would pull first.
