Hey, we're Ismel & Daniel, top Contra Independents with over $160K in combined earnings in our first year using Contra.
As founders of UnContrad and top-rated experts on the platform, we know firsthand the struggles of inconsistent pricing and undervaluing your work.
That’s why we teamed up to build a value-based pricing system that completely transformed our freelance careers and can do the same for you.
Perfect Your Profile:
Your Contra profile is your 24/7 sales rep.
When you start, in average we spent 2-3 hours crafting headlines that spoke to outcomes, not services. "Frame Expert" became "I help StartUps launch their products in 30 days"
Lead with Transformation:
Stop selling "website design" or "Framer setup." Sell the transformation.
Our first $500 project became $1,500 when we repositioned it as "Launch your product this month, not next year"
The Discovery Call Framework:
Never quote prices without understanding their revenue goals.
Instead, ask: "What would success look like 90 days from now?"
Then price based on their answer, not your time.
Leverage Social Proof Early:
Your first 3 projects determine your trajectory.
Over-deliver, document everything, and turn those wins into case studies
Master the Follow-Up:
~40% of our early revenue came from following up on "maybes." Set calendar reminders for 7, 14, and 30 days post-proposal
