Don’t overthink this. Do these steps in order and you’ll get value fast. ⏱ Step 1 — Introduce Yourself Post a short intro and answer these: - Where are you located? - What part of audio are you focused on? (recording, mixing, producing, live, etc.) - What’s the one thing you want help with right now? No life stories. Just clarity. I'll start - "Hi, I'm Donny Baker. I live in Burbank, CA and I like to work in my home studio for fun and profit. As a hobby, I like to work on my Jeep, and hang out with my hot wife." 🎯 Step 2 — Read the Community Rules This is a professional room. Before posting anything else: - No self-promo - No gear flexing - No theory debates - Leave Politics, Drama, Hate Speech at the Door If you’re here to learn and move forward, you’ll fit right in. 🧠 Step 3 — Answer One Question Find one post in the community and leave a helpful reply. Even a simple insight or encouragement counts.This community works because people participate. 📝 Step 4 — Ask One Real Question Post one clear, specific question about: - Business - Direction - Pricing - Clients - Next steps Vague questions get vague answers. Be direct. 👀 Step 5 — Check the Wins Read at least one “Wins & Progress” post. Pay attention to: - What people are actually doing - What progress looks like - What’s possible when you stay consistent This isn’t motivation — it’s evidence. ⭐ Optional (but recommended) - Turn on notifications so you don’t miss weekly posts and Live Calls. - Bookmark this checklist - Come back at least 2–3 times a week Consistency beats intensity every time. Final word: This space rewards: - Action - Respect for the craft - Willingness to learn If you do the work here, you’ll quickly know whether you’re ready for the next level of structure and support.
