When I moved from Upwork to Contra, I wasn’t sure whether I was making the right decision.
Now? I’m never going back.
Contra has given me more than a place to find work. It has connected me with clients who value my professional perspective, trust my expertise, and invest accordingly. It’s also given me visibility, community and the space to grow from an independent designer into a collaborative studio that’s continuing to expand.
So, if you’re just starting out on Contra, take this as your sign to keep going. Show up, share your work and give it time. You never know what it could grow into.
Wow...Thanks so much for this, Sydelle
I’m just starting out here and this has motivated me to do more.
Any tips on how to get better here, attract clients and all?
A few days ago, I shared my $10K milestone post here on Contra.
I honestly didn’t expect the response that followed.
10.5K+ views
85+ comments
22 upvotes ...and so many kind messages and congratulations. 🫶
It’s pretty crazy seeing a small milestone turn into this much support. And now we’re almost at 500 followers. 👀
Thank you to everyone who’s been following along, checking out my work, sending opportunities, or simply dropping a kind message.
Really appreciate it. ❤️ Next stop: 500. 🏁
I'd scan those 85+ comments for the same question coming up twice. That's probably your next post.
Top 1 of the creatives!
This is a journey and getting there bit by bit.
Thank you, Contra.
Big congrats!!
