After promoting my newsletter classifieds in Lex's group, and then that ending up in a ~$1k weekend, I'm starting to wonder if I should get rid of my strict no-promo rule and allow folks to share stuff freely... or... not too freely to avoid spamming, but with certain restrictions in place. I figure this could help me grow the group, AND maybe help folks make some money at the same time.... We'll see. Don't start link-bombing quite yet if you're reading this. I'll need to come up with a solid plan before that. However, if you have thoughts and comments for how to best make this work for everyone without turning the group into a link-spamming garbage dump, I'm all ears.

If you click the three dots on the top-right-hand-corner of a LinkedIn post, you see an option that literally says "Seems like AI slop" 🫠😂🤣🤣😆🤣

I don't know if it's summer or what, but I've been feeling very blah lately. Especially when it comes to this community... I have done absolutely nothing to grow or engage in any way. But I'm starting to feel like I can hit the restart button... hopefully. The problem is, of course, once you let a group die, it's super hard to bring it back to life. While I brainstorm revival tactics, tell me how's your summer going so far? Share some wins, frustrations, whatever have you.

Since @Nick Bandy has dominance over all of my Sunday emails, I'm opening up a few non-Sunday emails for classified ads. AND giving you a 2-for-1 deal. Basically, buy one ad and get another ad (on a date of my choosing) for free. I'm only opening it up for a few slots, AND running an ad for my ads on Lex Roman's newsletter... so if you'd like, grab 'em before they're gone.

I don't want people link-spammin' this group, but every now and then, I want you to share what you're working on. A new offer? An old offer you want some eyeballs on? Your newsletter? Something else? Today's your day to share :)
