After several months of not landing a single job or gig on Contra, I made some big updates to my profile.
I rebuilt my services from the ground up:
ā Free 30-minute discovery call, no strings
ā Framer template setup & customization, live in 5 days, from $750
ā Custom Framer website, designed and built in 14 days, from $2,000
Same standard as the templates I ship to the Framer marketplace. If you are a founder or your site doesn't match the quality of your product, my profile is open.

Additionally, I also made some pretty neat updates to my Demeure template, including a new hero video (because I can š). And at this point, it doesn't look like a template anymore. It looks like a live website.
You can now grab it two ways: pay once, or split it into 2 installments š

Template #3 coming along nicely. Almost finished all pages design and animation prototypes.
For some reason I am still doing most of prototyping not directly in framer but directly in claude code
Cool š
Relying only on Framer's marketplace feels like a mistake.
Day 2 of figuring out how to market a framer template business.
my experience submitting Framer templates across different marketplaces so farš
1. SelectedSite
(commission-free)
I was able to sign up immediately and submit my template right away. The review process takes less than 24 hours. The upload experience was seamless, the platform is well-designed, and they don't take any commission.
2. framerthings
(commission: 30%)
They review your creator account first, which takes 1ā2 business days. Only after approval can you upload templates, which then go through another ~24-hour review.
3. Contra
(commission-free)
I listed my templates without any review process. I also shared one free template as a postāit received likes and comments, but only a few remixes on the first day.
4. Frameplate
(commission-free)
They only publish one template per weekday, which means the current waiting list is around 10ā12 weeks.
5. Creative Market
(commission: confusing, but around 50%?)
The signup process was instant. I submitted my template, and the application review takes 3ā4 business days.
6. UI8
(commission: 30%)
I applied to become a creator, but my application was rejected without any explanation. I reached out for feedback but haven't received a response yet.
7. Gallereee
(submitting a template costs $69)
Featuring a website is free, but submitting a template costs $69, so I haven't tried this one!
Comment what marketing channel I should test tomorrow. š
Relying only on the framer marketplace feels like a mistake.
Day 2 of figuring out how to market a framer template business.
Ever since the marketplace lost some of its curated feel, it seems more important to get templates featured on curated galleries and marketplaces.
For today, I'm only focusing on free options. If they bring results, I'll consider paying for premium listings later. Right now, the goal is to grow revenue using free distribution.
So far I've found:
šøPaid: landingbook, awwwards, gallereee
šFree: contra, frameplate
š¤Revenue share: UI8, framerthings
The downside is that if you don't pay for priority, the review process can take weeks. So this definitely isn't a quick win.
My plan is to submit to most of these and also list all my templates on contra.
Am I missing any good marketplaces or galleries worth applying to?
Day 2 and Iām still following your journey
Wishing you big success š
