Filter Contra to Brand Designer and sort by most earned. I'm the first result, with over 100 reviews.
There are better designers on the platform than me, and plenty of them sit on page four. What I did was duller than talent. I filled in every field. Contra decides who gets shown to a buyer from about a dozen inputs, and most people fill in three.
The Contra Handbook is that process, applied to your profile. Eight modules, each one rebuilding a different part of it. Do the exercises and you finish with the whole profile rebuilt.
What you get
8 video modules. Screen recordings of me repairing my own profile, including the versions I threw away. None run over 30 minutes.
The Handbook. The written companion. Every chapter ends in an exercise that changes something real on your profile.
The Scorecard. The audit you run on day one and again on day ninety.
Six role appendices for designers, writers, developers, marketers, video and motion, and ops and assistants.
The Ledger. The private Skool group where all of it lives, open to buyers only.
The eight modules
Position. A new title, the roles you can honestly claim, and the sentence you want clients to repeat.
Found. Every field buyers filter on, filled.
Work. Ten projects uploaded and indexed, with new descriptions and a video cover.
Shelf. A priced service ladder in a deliberate order.
Proof. Review requests sent to everyone who owes you one, and a habit that keeps them coming.
Rank. A rule for where your money settles, and the math on what invoicing off Contra has cost you.
Products. One product live under $50, with its first review requests out.
The Run. A dated 90-day plan and a re-score.
Checked against 479 profiles
I studied 479 Contra profiles to test what I believed. 61% of services have no fixed price. Around 72% of projects don't name the client. 64% of profiles have no video cover. Three of my own ideas failed the test, and they're in the course with the numbers.
The before and after is mine
When I started recording, my profile had a typo in the title, a free call anchoring my services at zero, twenty bloated services and fourteen products with no reviews between them. You watch me fix all four.
Who it's for
Any freelancer on Contra with a profile up who wants more of the right inquiries: designers, writers, developers, marketers, video editors, ops. The appendices translate each exercise into your kind of work.
It covers Contra's machinery and your profile. Mindset, motivation and niche-finding are left out.
After you buy
You'll get a short form. Fill it in and Skool emails your invite to The Ledger, usually within 15 minutes.
