I’m at ~227 points and currently in the top 1% of creatives on Contra
Here’s what worked for me:
→ Get Pro
→ Take payments through Contra
→ Upload strong case studies from client work + get them verified
→ Post. A lot. I mean every single day. More reach = More points
→ For posts, use Taste Tests. They get way more reach.
Save this and thank me later 😇
Congrats on your discovery score, this is really solid. And thank you for your great advice!
A 227 discovery score is crazy! Congratulations!🎉
Also, thanks for the tips.👍
Hey is the logo @Darius Dan's artwork? Looks cool!
Great tips, thanks!
Great insights! I especially like the point about strong case studies. I’m realizing that simply listing services isn’t enough — showing the problem, process, and outcome makes your work much easier for potential clients to understand.

A little Contra milestone ✨
Just found out I'm in the top 1% of creatives on Contra by Discovery Score ☺️
Motivation for me to keep creating!
Hi There! New to Contra. As an Organic Marketing Expert who focuses on SEO, AEO, GEO, local and Social Marketing, one thing that will always work is refreshing or updating your existing content.
I did it for this Lawfirm and ended up getting higher rankings just off of page updates alone.
The basics still win.
6+ months on Contra, zero projects landed. What am I missing?
I want to ask the community an honest question.
For over six months, I've been consistently applying to projects and jobs here on Contra. So far, I haven't been selected for a single contract or project.
On paper, I feel like I've done everything right:
Multiple Expert badges
Contra Pro member
20+ Hire requests on my profile
Yet none of it has turned into actual work.
I'm not writing this to complain. I genuinely want to understand what's happening. Is this common for others too? Are clients mostly hiring through their own networks? Is there something about proposals, pricing, or profiles that makes the real difference?
If you've landed work on Contra, I'd really appreciate hearing what worked for you. And if you're in the same boat, let's talk about it openly.
Feedback on my profile is welcome too 🙏
I’ve only been on Contra for 2 days and I’ve already started applying and reaching out to other freelancers to get their opinions. I’m worried I could be here for months without landing a project 😅. I’d really love to hear what you’ve learned and what you think actually makes the difference.
