Our team obsesses day and night over what the future of independent work should look like -- and when it comes to growing your independent business, that's certainly not cold outreach, scrolling for opportunities on outdated job boards, and taking time away from your craft to chase stale gigs. That chapter is closed 🚪👋 Far and away, the best opportunities come from our personal networks: warm...

When I was pitched the vision for Contra for the first time, I was hooked -- it was exactly the product I would want to use myself as a long-time freelancer. It's surreal to look back on the last 3 years since our first launch and see how that vision has been made reality. We've come so far and learned so much from our community of over 700k independents and over 20k clients strong. We've built...

There’s nothing more satisfying than building a product that directly solves a problem you’ve faced time and time again. While I can say that speaks to my entire experience working on Contra for the last two-and-a-half-years, it especially hits home with our Portfolios feature. Creating a portfolio used to be a time-consuming chore. Showcasing your best work should be the exact opposite! Now,...

It has been so inspiring to watch the Fluent team relentlessly iterate on their vision for an amazing language learning experience. While I wish everyone reading this could know how amazing Gavin, Ara, Yaniv, and Olga are on a personal level, it is clear that their product reflects the values and drive they espouse themselves. Bullish on Fluent!

I love languages, and have investigated nearly every language app out there -- not only is Fluent in the top echelon of apps with an addictive and effective UX (essential for keeping language learners motivated and engaged), but the founders are proposing some fresh ideas for how to improve language education for the better. I can't wait to see where they (and my French) go in the next few...

I found this product a few weeks ago and have been using it daily for quick CPC checks, and I have to say, I can't believe it's free! Great tool, and definitely beats other paid ones out there that I've tried
