New to The AI Advantage? Read This First (It Will Save You Weeks)
Hey everyone! We get a LOT of new members every day, and many of you jump in with enthusiasm⌠and then immediately get swarmed by: ⢠bots with stock profile photos ⢠âDM me for mentorshipâ sales funnels ⢠vague success promises ⢠people who donât even use AI but want to pitch things This post is for the real humans who genuinely want to learn, build, and grow with AI. Hereâs your starter roadmap đ 1ď¸âŁ First rule: Learn to spot bots & funnels This community is incredible â when you know how to filter it. Red flags to watch for: ⢠âDrop YES and Iâll help you make income fastâ ⢠âDM meâ within 2 messages ⢠Lifestyle promises (âI made 20k in 2 days!â) ⢠Zero real builds, zero screenshots, zero proof ⢠Over-friendly messages from accounts created 1 week ago Legit members donât chase you. They build in public. ⸝ 2ď¸âŁ Second rule: Follow people who show their work If someone doesnât post: ⢠what they built ⢠how they built it ⢠what went wrong ⢠what improved their workflow âŚtheyâre not someone you need to learn from. I personally follow only those who provide actual value: builders, testers, thinkers, problem-solvers. Start small. Follow intentionally, not emotionally. ⸝ 3ď¸âŁ Third rule: Start with ONE personâs breadcrumbs This community hides its best knowledge in the comments, not just the posts. Pick one skilled member and go through: ⢠their posts ⢠their comments under other posts ⢠their replies to questions Youâll find frameworks, prompts, thinking patterns, debugging strategies, and logic you can actually use. If you want a beginner â advanced path, my posts follow that structure: starting simple and getting progressively more technical. ⸝ 4ď¸âŁ Fourth rule: Donât hoard â apply Donât be a collector. Donât fill your Google Drive with 200 prompts youâll never touch. Instead: ⢠learn one thing ⢠apply it instantly ⢠build something small ⢠break it ⢠fix it ⢠repeat This is the fastest way to grow your actual skillset. ⸝ 5ď¸âŁ Fifth rule: Show your journey
