Just crossed $10,000 earned on Contra. 🎉
A small milestone, but one I'm genuinely proud of.
A few years ago, I was working in product management and exploring design on the side. Today, most of that revenue has come from helping founders, startups, and businesses build better websites and digital experiences.
A few things I've learned along the way:
- Great work compounds.
- Relationships matter more than portfolios.
- The fastest way to get more clients is to help your current clients succeed.
- Consistency beats motivation every time.
- Most opportunities come from conversations, not cold pitches.
This milestone wasn't built from one big project.
It came from dozens of calls, revisions, late nights, mistakes, follow-ups, learning Framer deeply, and continuously improving the process at Walian Studio.
Still very early in the journey.
The next goal is much bigger:
Building a studio known for creating high-performing websites that not only look great, but actually help businesses grow.
Grateful to every client, collaborator, and friend who trusted me along the way.
Onwards. 🚀
Congrats @Akash Deep Walia 🎉

Folding the entire post-purchase flow into Kajabi — confirmations, order forms, the whole sequence — is where the brand actually earns trust, not just the landing page. Worth checking whether the confirmation and post-purchase pages read consistently when a customer hits them on a small phone after a sweaty match.
