I honestly didn’t expect it to happen this fast.
Just 2 months ago, I signed up on Contra. Coming from a full-time role, I decided to take the leap into freelancing and I haven’t regretted it for a second.
This feels like just the beginning. Grateful for such a supportive community here 🙌
thank you ^^
Congratulations!
Congratulations Shobrun, more to come 🎉

Today is a day to celebrate 🎉
Achieving this, after quitting my full-time job at a world-wide company after nearly seven years, feels incredible. It’s not about the position, and certainly not about the score. It’s about realizing that all that experience, knowledge, and personal growth was, and still is, worth it.
It’s been less than a year, and taking that leap of faith has already been totally worth it.
THANK YOU to everyone who trusts me with their projects.
Congrats, Yeti! More to come

@Contra is cool.
But it hits different when you connect with people who Design.
If you’re into design, web design, UI/UX, branding, front-end, or creative dev say hi
My thoughts on Contra lately have been increasingly negative and here's why.
— They've reduce quality of C Pro, and then made it $80
— Constantly spamming my inbox with "contests"
— They've made little effort to onboard more businesses recently
— The gigs that I'm "chosen" for are rarely relevant to me
— The platform feels like it diluting fast
Contra support is usually great, Ben seems like a genuine person, and the platform looks much better than any other.
But I signed up to Contra 4 years ago because I wanted high quality clients, not a social feed, not a product catalog, and certainly not for contests.
Their top priority should be ushering businesses to the platform, nothing else matters at this point. You have the backend built, you have the talent, and you have experience dialed in.
But I did the math, and it looks like there's an average of 4 jobs posted a day on my feed (web design/dev & branding). None of this matters to me if there's no money to be made here.
I hope that this is addressed soon.
Written with love!
Lol, went to check if any gigs posted today and there was a single one, and it was this one. Easily $20k worth of work. This is 80% of the customers on Contra now.
