    Your network is your biggest advantage. Now, you can grow it on Contra while earning real rewards.

    With the new and improved referral program, you can bring your clients and friends onto Contra, collaborate with them in one place, and get rewarded along the way. You can earn up to $72 for every person you invite, and when they join, they’ll get 30% off Contra Pro because you invited them.

    Your network in one place

    Most of us have our network scattered across LinkedIn, X, and old email threads.

    Contra’s network tab lets you bring it all together.

    • See who’s already here: Import your network and instantly follow people already on Contra so you can stay up to date with their open jobs, latest projects, and more.

    • Invite anyone who’s not: Bring clients, collaborators, and friends into your Contra network with one click. Each invite counts as a referral.

    • Work better together: Share job opportunities, send proposals and invoices, request reviews, and communicate in one place.

    • Earn while you build: Every person you invite to Contra who either subscribes to Contra Pro or kicks off a project $500+ gets you paid.

    How it works

    Here’s how to set up your network and start earning:

    1. Add your network

      Import from Gmail, LinkedIn, or X (Twitter) to see who’s already on Contra. Follow anyone you find, and with one click, invite those who aren’t here yet.

    2. Invite from jobs

      Found a great opportunity in your job feed but you aren’t the right fit or don’t have the time to take it on? Share it directly with friends on or off Contra to apply. Nothing better than giving a job opportunity to a friend.

      • If they join and subscribe to Contra Pro, you earn rewards.

    3. Earn rewards

      • Invite a client: When your referred client completes a project worth at least $500, you’ll instantly receive $25 in your Contra wallet.

      • Invite an independent: When your referred independent subscribes to Contra Pro:

        • Annual plan: $45 one-time reward

        • Monthly plan: $6 per month for up to 12 months (as long as they stay subscribed)

      Rewards for independent subscriptions are paid 30 days after the conversion event.
