One month on Contra. Here’s the honest recap.
What’s working:
1. Posted 3 projects so far, and all 3 were featured in the Selected Gallery.
2. Earned the Jitter Expert badge.
3. Reached 175 Discovery Score and landed in the Top 1% of Contra.
4. Connected with a bunch of talented, like-minded people and had some genuinely great conversations.
What’s not there yet:
1. 1 client request so far.
2. $0 earned through Contra.
No gatekeeping, no pretending otherwise.
I’m still very happy with the progress. One month in, I’ve built a solid foundation, met some great people, and learned a lot about how the platform works.
Now I’m focused on turning that momentum into actual opportunities.
Excited to see what October brings🤘

Top 1% of creatives on Contra with a 195 score 🎉 What I'm most excited about is who's showing up because of it: new clients, designers, new conversations, projects I wouldn't have found on my own. Grateful, and ready for more.
Huge congrats! 🎉 Top 1% is an incredible milestone.
September was kind to me, even though it was one of the toughest months.
I was hospitalized, while my daughter continued her cancer treatment. There were days that felt incredibly heavy, but somehow, nature was kind enough to help me keep moving forward and reach these numbers.
Grateful for the strength, the people who stood by me, and the little wins that kept me going. ❤️
Keeping you and your daughter in my prayers. Wishing you both immense strength, healing, and better days ahead.
Small wins, steady progress 🚀

Building my freelance journey as a brand identity and packaging designer has been a learning experience. Every project, connection, and conversation is another step forward.
I’m curious, for those of you on Contra, how much attention do you pay to your Discovery Score, and what have you found actually helps improve your visibility on the platform?
Would love to hear your experiences and tips! 🤝
