Congratulations to Marto Mads on hitting $25K earned on Contra. It’s a milestone I’m working toward on here too, so I’m curious: what made the biggest difference between landing your first client and reaching this number?

Great question. From what I've seen, the jump usually comes from narrowing down. People who pick one type of client and one problem they solve well get referrals and repeat work much faster, because their portfolio speaks directly to the next buyer. Turning each finished project...
Thank you, this is useful. The point about the portfolio speaking directly to the next buyer is the part I’m working on. My work spans Kajabi, GoHighLevel and some Webflow, and the projects for coaches and course creators are the ones that read strongest. Did you find it worked...
congratulations
Thank you, Nirali! Marto’s number is a good benchmark to learn from. Are you building toward a milestone on Contra yourself?
Congratulations, and tell me the procedure of outreach client
Thanks, Junaid! Honestly, I’m still building my own process. What I’m doing: applying to jobs that match my niche with a proposal written for each one, and keeping my portfolio and posts active so clients can find me. @Marto Mads is the one who’s actually reached $25K, so his answer will...
This is the kind of question that turns a milestone post into a masterclass, Ademola. Marto's $25K journey holds lessons for everyone chasing their next number. Hoping the thread delivers.
Thank you, Timothy! That’s the hope, and I’ll be reading closely if Marto shares what worked. What’s the biggest lesson from your own journey so far?
Congrats!
Thanks, Madob! Are you aiming for a particular milestone on Contra this year?
congratulations
Thank you, Motiq! Marto’s the one who earned it. What’s one thing on Contra that’s helped your studio most?
Thanks, Vishal! 🚀 Did Marto’s post reach you through the feed, or do you follow his work?
Received via feed.
That make sense tho
Lets keep working toward it too

Thank you, Djamila! 🙌 What are you working on at the moment?
Congratulations to Marto Mads on $25000 earned on Contra. It’s a huge milestone I’m also working 💪
Thanks, Saim! Wishing you the best with yours. What kind of work are you building toward it with?

We've reached our first $5K on Contra!
A small milestone, but a meaningful one for our studio. Grateful to all the clients who've trusted us with their projects and to @Contra HQ for the opportunities to connect and collaborate.
Here's to more creative projects and collaborations ahead!
Congrats to the studio✨
Spent the last few weeks crafting something calm. Meet Nocta 🤍
A minimal one-page Framer template for product studios, agencies and freelancers who’d rather let their work speak quietly.
Soft neutral tones, refined typography and a slow, cinematic scroll, from the hero all the way down to the big wordmark footer.
Inside:
– Hero with live stats
– Selected work grid
– Services and a four-step process
– Testimonial and call to action
– Fully responsive
If you want to use it for your own studio, you can grab the template from the Products tab on my profile.
Curious what you’d change, so let me know below 👇
