Hi everyone
I’ve just joined Contra and I’m excited to be here.
I’d love to hear any advice or tips you’d recommend for someone getting started on the platform — especially around finding the right projects and connecting with clients.

I came to Contra through the @Rive & @Contra HQ HMI challenge (my submission!) and was blown away by the talent & community here, so I decided to stay.

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.
