100 followers 🎉

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.
