OK, $149 you pay and I guess you can cancel anytime. So let's say you're thinking about this strategically and you're thinking, OK, where can I find people who are hanging out who could potentially be my clients? I'm not going to recommend people go in and spam your group. Don't worry.

So if I was looking at this, what I'm looking for is, OK, that's potentially a high quality place where people are hanging out, which maybe I might want to do work with. So I'm going to join that group. I'm going to spend the entire first month just being the most valuable person in that group. Zero spamming, zero telling people to reach out to me and DM me and trying to get work out of it.

So you just post like free templates, whatever it is, whatever you can do to make yourself an extremely valuable person in that group while also observing the challenges people have in that group. That's an amazing way to start lightly generating leads for yourself.
