I've been building websites with AI and hosting all of my client websites on my own Netlify account. The problem is that Netlify has now moved away from the old free/legacy plan to a credit-based system, and it's becoming much more expensive than before. Since I'm still a beginner, I never charged my clients separately for hosting. Now I'm realizing that probably wasn't the best decision. I'm wondering how experienced developers and agencies handle this. - Do you host every client's website on your own Netlify account? - Or do you ask clients to create their own Netlify account and transfer the project to them? - Do you include hosting in your monthly retainer, or charge it separately? - If you're building Node.js/Next.js websites, what's your preferred hosting setup? - If you were in my position, would you start asking existing clients to cover hosting costs, or would you migrate them somewhere else? I'd love to hear how you structure this professionally because I want to build a scalable system instead of making the same mistake with future clients. Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hey Everyone thought maybe someone can help me. I am just starting out on the consultant track. I held two discovery calls (woohoo!) but i almost felt like it was a mash up of a discover call and an audit call. And i feel like my next one may be a mash up of an audit call and the final reporting call. anyone else had this issue at the beginning? any suggestions or clarity? TIA!

I've been in the AI space for about a year now, and if there's one thing I want to share with you, it's this: your network is your net worth. Here's what I've noticed — most people here are either learning skills or already have them. That's not the problem. The real question is: how do you market those skills? How do you actually get clients? Honestly, that's why I joined this community. Not just to find the answer for myself, but because I think it's the answer most of us are looking for. At some point, you have to learn how to market yourself — no skill pays you until someone knows about it. I quit my job two months ago and went all in on this. People think I'm crazy. But you know what? That's exactly why I did it. Would love to connect with anyone on the same path.
