That's great!
That's great! Do you have any advice on how to earn badges like Top Independent and the others? Does it depend on discovery score?
16 badges since October is impressive, that's real momentum! 25 by end of year is totally doable at this pace 💪
Wow great job 👏

That’s awesome progress! 16 badges already shows real consistency. 25 in 2026 definitely looks achievable.

great job 👌
Top 1% is nex, and I’ll get there.
Still a long way to go, but this is a solid checkpoint.
Just hit Top 5% of creatives on Contra.
Not from luck. From showing up, doing the work, and caring about the details most people overlook.
Thank you, @Contra HQ
Congratulations 🎉
Never thought this milestone would feel reachable, honestly.
Yet here I am, just a couple dollars away from the 50K club.
This week so far:
✅ 2 project kickoffs and approvals
✅ A past client coming back for a more complex packaging phase
✅ One project already locked for May
🚧 In talks to lock another one 🤞
For the first time in 6 years of freelancing, I’m booking work ahead 🤯 wtf
Still processing it. Still a bit in disbelief.
Contra really did make a difference on productivity!
