I've been using Contra for a while now, mostly as a place to showcase our work.
But lately I've been wondering how people actually use the platform to get hired.
Is it the projects you publish? Your profile?
Being active in the community? Applying to jobs?
We've had clients find us through different places, but Contra still feels a little different to me. There's the portfolio side, the community side, the job side, and I'm not sure how much each one actually matters.
So I'm curious: if you've gotten projects through Contra, what actually worked for you?
I'd especially love to hear from people who've been using it for a while, not just what you're supposed to do, but what actually led to a project.
Let's hope someone comes to our rescue! 😂
check your analytics . I saw mine , I got some idea on what people are looking.
There is job board. Apply to a few odd jobs that fit your niche specifically while you build your reputation. That's what I am doing and I'm on track to do 5k in my 3rd month just through Contra. Optionally you can send your existing client invoices through the platform as well...
I have been thinking about that lately as I am still quite new to the platform. Even job postings are not frequently as one would expect.

Setting up shop on Contra 🛠️
I spent today building out Omelette’s profile here: 18 work posts across four products, most of them short videos filmed straight from the prototypes, plus services and a new headline.
It’s been a fun way to look back at the work. If you’re new here too, or have tips for getting started on Contra, I’d love to hear them. Say hi!

Hey everyone, first time here on contra, so a quick introduction first, I'm an AI & ML engineer with a strong hold in game design and development, I am also a typist and a content writer.
Previously I've worked on fiverr where I delivered to more than 50 clients across the globe, earned a profound rating of 4.8/5, and gained the trust of multiple people
I'm currently looking to collaborate with startups, founders, companies and businesses that need help building AI-powered products or automating workflows. Not to mention my skillset isn't just restricted to artificial intelligence, one can say I'm an all rounder of sorts..
Always happy to connect, exchange ideas, and explore opportunities!
The Powermatic case study is now on Contra.
It's the full story in six chapters: the challenge, the home page, the brand, Careers, the grid and the build. This time with the motion too: the home page scroll, the menu drum and the logo animation.
One detail I didn't mention last time. The preloader fills the logo with the page's real loading progress, fonts and the hero photo included. When it's full, the page is ready.
Everything is designed and hand-coded by me, no framework.
If you have a minute, a like or a comment helps the work reach more people.
