Levels also has had a fair share of backlash in the DN community for being said profiteer ($100 to join a Slack group, for example. $20 for 14 page 'guides' for cities with info mostly taken from free forums, etc.). If he's your model, go for it. I would just add an asterisk to your use of 'support group' or 'community.'

Hmm. I didn't quite realize that, honestly. I don't plan to monetize hi.remotetogether.com. I could maybe see ads at some point on there? But that's about it. I have other monetization strategies. Like create an actual product.

Also, I would say what Levels.io has done with nomadslist.com is exceptional. I've used it for a couple of trips (Vacations - DigitalNomad-ing) I've been on. I realize you may not be a big fan of him, but he's done some good! Just food for thought.

Thanks for the responses though. Very. Very. Very. Insightful. Things I hadn't considered.
