This landed in my LinkedIn inbox this morning (I've removed the name and the details that would identify the sender): "Hi Alex, My name is [redacted]. I recently sold my startup, and I'm now working on an AI production studio. I'd love to pick your brain on the industry. I've already found quite a few amazing contacts through the directory! Was wondering if you'd be free for a call this week." --- Read that again. A founder with a real exit under her belt is building an AI studio... and where did she go to find talent? The directory. She didn't post a job ad or dig through Reddit. She searched, found people she liked, and reached out. This is exactly why I built AIFD. And it's happening more and more. Producers, studios and brands are quietly browsing profiles and making a shortlist before you even know they exist. So here's my question for you: When someone like her lands on your profile, what does she see? If your profile is half-filled, has no reel, or is sitting on the free tier buried under everyone else... you're invisible at the exact moment it matters. Pro members show up higher in search results, and you get a fuller profile to show off your work. It's $150/yr, which is less than one small gig. 👉 Go take a look at your profile today. Update your reel, tighten your bio, and if you're serious about getting hired, go Pro. And use the modules in the Classroom to optimize your personal brand. Talk soon, Alex
