$50k in verified earnings on Contra. Didn't expect to hit this when I first joined, but between great clients, real projects, and staying consistent, here we are. Grateful for the platform and everyone who took a chance on the work.
Honestly, most of my clients didn't come from Contra itself initially. I'd connect with them outside the platform first, build the relationship, then bring the work through Contra. That way you're not competing with 50 other applicants on a job board.
Honestly my path was design-specific so I can't speak to VA work directly on there. But the thing that moved the needle for me wasn't the platform, most of my clients I met elsewhere first, then brought the work onto Contra. Relationship first, platform second.
Grateful for every client, project, and opportunity that helped make this milestone possible. Here’s to building great work, creating real impact, and reaching the next milestone. 🚀
Hi everyone! I’m new to Contra and still learning how everything works here. I’d love to connect with other freelancers, especially designers, and hear about your experiences with Contra. If anyone is open to chatting or sharing some tips, I’d really appreciate it!
