What are your lead gen methods?

Alex Hormozi says in his videos/podcasts over and over again that it is more important to build goodwill/reputation than to cash in but I find it to be one of the most difficult lessons to actually do. My problem is, I’m always looking at the cash and not enough at goodwill/reputation. Whenever I find myself having the opportunity to make some money, I get blinded by it and try to get as much money out of it as possible. I get blinded to the amount of money I COULD make if I was just a little bit more patient and would deliver first, before asking for anything in return. As a lesson, I will try to gather more testimonials in the future as payment. This will probably yield me more than any money ever could at the beginning. So, for those out there who have already learned this lesson, if you have any advice for me, I’d love to hear it!

Hi everyone, newbie here on Day 6, hoping for your wisdom. 🙏🏻 💡 My question is, which program do you like using when filming videos where you are showing yourself and your screen to upload into Skool and email? What is the best, user-friendly program? Loom, Zoom or another one?

Hey @Patrice Moore ! I really enjoyed this video — you made starting copywriting feel so approachable. Quick question: how would you recommend handling it if you're just starting out and don’t have any client work or portfolio yet? What should you show potential clients if they ask to see past work before hiring you? Or should I actually have some copy to show? Would love to know what other members have done as well in this situation! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7DGCAswhFT4

I’m looking for some real strategy insight from those of you who’ve built communities before. I recently created two separate communities, one free and one paid. My intention is to genuinely help people, build trust, and avoid rushing into selling too quickly. At the same time, I know that if I never make an offer, I’m not truly serving the people who are ready to take the next step. So I’m curious how you approach this in the early stages. When do you personally begin selling? Is it week one, week two, or after a certain level of engagement and value has been delivered? How do you structure the first couple of weeks so it feels aligned and not forced? Do you focus purely on value at first, lightly introduce the paid offer early on, or clearly communicate the path from free to paid from day one? And what’s worked best for you when it comes time to sell? Do you prefer DMs, community posts, or a combination of both? My goal is to do this the right way, where selling feels natural, helpful, and in service to the community rather than salesy. I’d love to hear what’s worked for you and what you’d do differently if you were starting over today. Appreciate the insight.
