For the majority of my career, I have freelanced as a creative. In that time, I've seen my fair share of freelancer platforms. Since joining Contra in early 2023, I've been consistently impressed with the platform and the team behind it. Unlike other platforms, I find that Contra really pushes and advocates for the freelancers.

The SEO visibility that their platform has brought to my portfolio completely surpasses any traffic my personal website has ever received. I've gotten numerous leads and even some of my favorite repeat clients. Best of all, the payment process is smooth and painless. Genuinely, the day a project wraps, I can have money hit my bank account. That's unheard of in the freelance world!

I encourage any creative freelancer who feels overwhelmed by the onboarding process to stick with it and fill out your profile diligently. It will pay off. Contra is still in its infancy, and I'm very excited to see where it goes.
