I was just browsing Contra and stumbled on this profile and honestly, it completely changed how I see the platform.
I've been sleeping on this platform, and I think a lot of us have.
There is REAL opportunity here for freelancers willing to show up and be intentional. This isn't just another freelance marketplace clearly, people are building serious income here.
I'm just getting started on Contra myself, and I would love to learn from those who've cracked it.
If you're a freelancer on Contra, especially those who've grown from zero, drop your tips below. What worked for you? What would you tell a newbie trying to scale on the platform?
Let's build each other up.
Wow, this massive and incredible
Heard about Contra today and already like what I see. Spent time on Fiverr and Upwork but the clients there wanted senior quality at entry-level prices. Not a good fit for 13+ years of experience. Hoping Contra attracts buyers who understand what professional work actually costs. We'll try for a month.
Heeeey 👋 Thank you to everyone following my challenge 🎉🎉🎉 Because of you, this is moving faster than I expected 🫶
