Hey everyone! We get a LOT of new members every day, and many of you jump in with enthusiasm… and then immediately get swarmed by: • bots with stock profile photos • “DM me for mentorship” sales funnels • vague success promises • people who don’t even use AI but want to pitch things This post is for the real humans who genuinely want to learn, build, and grow with AI. Here’s your starter roadmap 👇 1️⃣ First rule: Learn to spot bots & funnels This community is incredible — when you know how to filter it. Red flags to watch for: • “Drop YES and I’ll help you make income fast” • “DM me” within 2 messages • Lifestyle promises (“I made 20k in 2 days!”) • Zero real builds, zero screenshots, zero proof • Over-friendly messages from accounts created 1 week ago Legit members don’t chase you. They build in public. ⸻ 2️⃣ Second rule: Follow people who show their work If someone doesn’t post: • what they built • how they built it • what went wrong • what improved their workflow …they’re not someone you need to learn from. I personally follow only those who provide actual value: builders, testers, thinkers, problem-solvers. Start small. Follow intentionally, not emotionally. ⸻ 3️⃣ Third rule: Start with ONE person’s breadcrumbs This community hides its best knowledge in the comments, not just the posts. Pick one skilled member and go through: • their posts • their comments under other posts • their replies to questions You’ll find frameworks, prompts, thinking patterns, debugging strategies, and logic you can actually use. If you want a beginner → advanced path, my posts follow that structure: starting simple and getting progressively more technical. ⸻ 4️⃣ Fourth rule: Don’t hoard — apply Don’t be a collector. Don’t fill your Google Drive with 200 prompts you’ll never touch. Instead: • learn one thing • apply it instantly • build something small • break it • fix it • repeat This is the fastest way to grow your actual skillset. ⸻ 5️⃣ Fifth rule: Show your journey

Please see an update for me this morning in the comments. This disaster is going to make me a much better founder. I got up at 3:45 AM today to begin rebuilding my company. Original post follows: I’m standing here writing this in tears, and I want to give a very sobering warning to anyone who is considering upgrading from ChatGPT plus to a business Team’s account on ChatGPT. There is a a glitch that was unknown to me before I started this process, but is apparently well known in the open AI developer community that all of your data is deleted when you migrate it and you can’t get it back. Everything I’ve been building for months is just …. Gone. Other than what I had saved and backed up in my personal files, my entire ChatGPT history has been zeroed out, and it really hurts because this was like my external brain for both home and my business that I’m building. Open AI acknowledged that their company documentation failed to include a warning that all of my personal data would be deleted and everything that I have been working on since day one in my accounts has been deleted, and there’s nothing I can do to get it back even though I followed their exact instructions on merging my personal and business accounts, to the letter. I just paid $618 to upgrade my account to two seats on a business plan and merged the data from my personal account to my business plan. Within a minute or two of that transaction going through as I was following the step-by-step worksheet that ChatGPT itself printed out for me. My accounts froze, and I had to log out. I logged back in everything was blank. When I used my previous emails that I had my accounts tied to to log back in ChatGPT opened free tier accounts using my business email that I just paid $618 to open my business account on. I’ve escalated this to ChatGPT Support and they were extremely unhelpful. Basically they said sorry it’s a known issue and there’s nothing we can do. I was planning on shipping a product today using the ChatGPT business plan because it offers a secure link so that I’m not sending out raw proprietary JSON code.

There was a one time payment of $1 for signing here with the VIP option to get more details and access to info (including a book). Are you charging an extra $37 ? What’s the reason to that if there’s no approval to do it ? Why is that happening these days ?
