Contra just launched payment links. Faster. Simpler. Less friction. For most payments, sending the link is enough. But for larger projects or milestone payments, presentation still matters.

Contra just made it to X News and I didn't's see a paid campaign or influencer.

What they team did was simpler, and harder to copy: They listened.

Every piece of feedback from this community quietly shaped the product behind the scenes. We spoke, Contra built, and today, that showed up in the news.

This is the lesson most brands miss:

"The biggest growth lever in 2026 is not your ad budget. It is not your influencer roster. It is a community that feels heard."

When we see our words turn into features, decisions, real product changes, we stop being users, and become advocates.

Thank you, Contra :)

P.S. If your community isn't talking about you, ask yourself: are you actually listening to them?

Contra showing up in X News without a paid campaign or influencer is the kind of organic validation that money genuinely cannot buy. The fact that the community's feedback quietly shaped the product is a great story. That is the right way to build.

I've made $120k as a creative on Contra, no viral moment, just systems. Here's the only 7 actions you need to maximize your earnings as a creative (from my own experience) - Host your products on Contra - Turn your most-used tool into a template. - Launch free first, then sell. - Distribute on these 3 platforms. - Add a retainer option to every product. - License what you build. - Stack, do not replace. I think you're ready, let's dive deeper below 🧵

I've spent nearly 5 years building for other people:

Websites. Digital products. Launch strategies.

For e-comm brands and top creators. I'm good at it but, it's also fully dependent on clients.

One slow month meant a slow everything. That was the problem I had to solve.
