I thought this would be an interesting discussion since everyone here comes from different backgrounds. Some people started with affiliate marketing. Others got into dropshipping, social media management, SEO, copywriting, blogging, graphic design, video editing, or selling digital products. A...

Okay, taking notes! What’s the single worst LinkedIn post type you’ve ever seen in your entire career?

Wait, do people actually respond to cold DMs for coffee chats? I always feel like I’m being super annoying if I reach out to older professionals.
