A month and a half ago, on June 5, I got serious about Contra. And now there are a hundred of us.
A bit of context. I've got 3+ years on Upwork behind me: $70K earned, Top Rated Plus, 100% Job Success. But over the last six months something broke. Fewer invites, shrinking budgets, client expectations through the roof, and the platform's fees just keep climbing. The strange part — I was doing exactly what I'd always done. It wasn't me. A lot of people are saying the same thing right now: Upwork isn't what it used to be.
At some point I just decided to stop knocking on a closed door and try something new. That's how I ended up here.
And yeah, I'm starting from zero again. Zero followers, zero reviews, building it all back up. A little scary, honestly.
But in these six weeks:
✅ earned my first $1,000 on Contra
✅ got the Jitter Expert badge
✅ and my last post pulled 1.5K views and 3 Goats 🐐
So a 100 isn't just a number. It's a sign the new path works. Thank you to everyone who's been here from the start 💛
Onward 🚀
Congrats! Wishing you many more milestones on Contra.
Hey Contra 💃 Something big happened, I became one of the winners of the 𝗪𝗼𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗻 $𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 🏆
First of all, thank you all for the incredible support ❤️🫶✨
And honestly Wonder really impressed me. It feels extremely smooth and enjoyable to design with this AI 🔥
I was also surprised to learn at the winners' announcement that the team is only 8 people, as Aibek Yegemberdin mentioned
That’s insane.
It really shows how talented this team is. Highly recommend everyone to try it.
Big congratulations to all the other winners Tanya Deep, Edoardo Galati, Alex K, Noor Mtir, Sergey Bertagnini, and to everyone who participated 👏

one thing i have loved from working with the @Contra HQ team & being part of the Contra community is being exposed to so many new (and new to me) tech products that are usually free to try!
for example, @Jitter, which is helping me create the cover images for new case studies i'm finalizing now 🤭 i have been WORKING since February, and it's almost time to spill the beans... stay tuned! 🤫 😉
One of the best parts of communities like Contra is discovering tools that genuinely improve your workflow. Excited to see the case studies
