Welcome Contra new members 👋
I joined Contra’s community when it was invite-only, and seeing it open to everyone is amazing.
Here's my 5 checklist tips to make the most out of this:
✔️ Be Seen
Your portfolio won’t get lost. I landed collaborations just by sharing my process.
✔️ Grow Your Network
Connect with designers, marketers, and founders ready to share advice and open doors. A comment may lead to your next big opportunity.
✔️ Share Your Best Work
Clients browse Contra for projects. Sharing your best work and story helped me get inbound leads and build credibility.
✔️ Learn and Improve
Honest feedback is everywhere. I’ve grown a lot from community replies and support from the Contra team.
✔️ Stand Out Early
Early engagement gets badges and highlights that boost visibility. Don’t miss the momentum.
See you around!

@Andrea Montini I have a potentially dumb question... What kind of projects/content do you feel is best to share? I've not completed any projects ON Contra yet, so all I really have are my outside designs/projects. Do you just share your final product? Or do you think it is valuable to share...
@Trae Spears it's always the case to share work in progress, better if they are polished enough to be more engaging!
@Andrea Montini looks great!
@Andrea Montini I actually just returned to contra. These tips will definitely come in handy. Thank you for sharing

@Andrea Montini I've been here for a coupleof weeks, hoping to land my first project on Contra. Ive applied to a lot of jobs in those two weeks, some a bit outside my comfort zone, but heres to hoping something comes down the pipe soon.
