1. Practice
Would you enjoy drafting sample posts, calendars and replies before expecting paid work?
Private fit filter / nothing is saved
Fit the process.
Not the pitch.
Use these five gates before opening the sales page. A “no” is useful information; skipping is always a valid outcome.
2. Uncertainty
Can you proceed without any guarantee of placement, clients, hours, rates or income?
3. Comparison
Have you compared free tutorials, public job boards and portfolio projects?
4. Terms
Will you verify total price, rebills, access, support, cancellation and refund conditions?
5. Budget
Can you pay without touching money for essentials, savings or debt?
Your result
If any answer is no or unclear, pause. Build a free work sample and verify the missing detail first.
Stop signal: wanting guaranteed employment or income means this paid offer is not an appropriate solution.
