40 days ago, I decided to start growing on Contra from zero and document the whole journey publicly 🫶❤️💃. And now we’re here:
𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒𝟎 🎉 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡 𝟏,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐟𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐬
So much has already happened. In these 40 days, I’ve already managed to:
✅ reach 156 / 1,000 followers
✅ get my first contract
✅ get featured on the Contra homepage
✅ get into Community Favorites
✅ participate in 2 Contra challenges #CapCutDesignStudio Challenge & #stitchchallenge
✅ make it into the Top 10% of creatives on Contra
Not bad for the first 40 days, right? 👀
I’m still far from the final goal, but this already feels like proof that showing up consistently works.
𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀: 156 / 1,000
𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗳𝘁: 844 followers
Follow along if you’re curious to see whether it’s possible to grow on Contra from zero
