Hey community!
I've been hearing great things about Contra as a commission-free platform for creatives, and I finally decided to take the leap and set up my profile.
I'm Hashir, a full-stack developer specializing in .NET & React Developer | AI Automation, SaaS Platforms, AWS/Azure
I joined Contra because I want to:
Connect with clients who value real skills over traditional resumes
Showcase my work through a clean portfolio
Join a community of creative professionals
For those who've been here a while: what advice would you give someone just starting out on Contra? What worked best for you when landing your first client here? 😊

1K on Contra! 🚀
What started as a place to share my work and experiments has slowly turned into a really fun little community.
Thank you to everyone who’s been following along, engaging with my posts, sharing feedback, or just quietly checking out my work. 🙌
I’ve got plenty more design experiments, AI explorations, and product ideas coming.
Thanks for being here. ❤️
Congratulations, Divan 🎉
This is my second ... day (and week) on Contra, and I'm still trying to figure out what this platform is all about (or how to make it work for that matter).
My goal is to land my first client here. What should I do?
Great question man! I haven't still won my first job here but I'd say stay active and engaged with others in order to increase your discovery score and appear in the search for clients. Good luck!! 🙌
I think I’ve been using Contra backwards 😂
Most people come here looking for clients.
Meanwhile, I’ve been finding clients through Google, referrals, inbound, and my own network...
then bringing them here.
Contract signed.
Milestones set.
Payment handled.
Project starts.
Rinse and repeat.
And somehow I never really stopped to think:
I’ve been building a track record on Contra without actually trying to build a presence on Contra.
That feels like leaving something on the table.
So maybe it’s time to change that.
More work.
More building.
More sharing the stuff we’re actually creating behind the scenes.
And hopefully, for once...
I won’t have to bring the next client to Contra.
They’ll find me here first. 👀
The best part is using it both ways, YES 🙌
