New to The AI Advantage? Read This First (It Will Save You Weeks)
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
