$50k+ in revenue on Contra. Big milestone.
Here's my full revenue breakdown.
I started freelancing in April 2025 after leaving my job at a design studio. Since then, my income has come from a few different places (not all of it is visible on contra).
Most of it came from ongoing freelance work with startups. As I started working directly with clients on framer websites, I also began offering a monthly retainer for updates, maintenance, and improvements after launch. More recently, I joined Contra Labs, which has been a nice extra source of projects.
Here's the breakdown:
• Freelance work: 70% (worked with framer, contra, magicpath etc.)
• Direct clients: 24%
• Retainers: 4.3%
• Contra Labs: 1.7%
The number is nice, but knowing where it comes from is what actually helps you understand how to build something sustainable.
Was supposed to build static screens. Built a clickable prototype with AI instead and skipped that step entirely.
Caught two problems in five minutes that never would've shown up in a flat design. The kind that quietly add days if not weeks to a timeline.
Feeling the flow early is always cheaper than finding the flaw late.
Couldn't agree more. A clickable prototype always reveals things static screens never will.
POV: You stop waiting for opportunities and start creating them.
Finally upgraded to Contra Pro.
Discovery Score: 102
First project completed.
Second Webflow project already in progress.
Small wins today. Bigger milestones tomorrow.
This is just the beginning. See you on the leaderboard.
If you're looking for someone who can build high-converting websites in Webflow, Framer, Wix Studio, or WordPress, my DMs are open. 🤝
