I’m new to SMMA and was thinking about going into healthcare, but I recently learned about HIPAA.

Is it actually a huge headache for a beginner agency owner or manageable if you’re careful? Would you still recommend this niche for someone starting out or is another niche smarter first?

Hey everyone, Lately I’ve been getting contacted by a lot of marketing agencies. Some of them showed me pretty impressive results and promised things like more booked consultations, better local visibility, lead generation, etc.

A few of these agencies seem very new and some admitted they barely have any med spa clients yet.

Should I work with a marketing agency for my med spa or try to do marketing myself?

For those of you who’ve owned a med spa for a while:

• What’s actually working for your marketing right now?
• Are you running ads yourself or using an agency?
• If you hired an agency, was it worth it?
• What red flags should I watch out for?
• Did anyone regret hiring one?
• What should I realistically expect in terms of ROI?

Right now I’m trying to decide whether to:

• hire an agency,
• build an in-house marketing system,
• or just focus on organic content/social media first.

Would really appreciate advice from people who’ve been in the industry for a while and already tested this stuff.

Hey everyone,

I’m still very new to wholesaling and currently researching different business opportunities before going all in on something.

But honestly, I’ve seen a LOT of people saying wholesaling is dead now.

At the same time, I’ve also been seeing a lot of people talking about insurance sales recently, especially on Instagram. Some people make it sound like a really good beginner-friendly sales business, although I heard you need licenses for it.

So now I’m kinda confused.

For someone starting from zero in 2026:

• Is wholesaling still worth learning?
• Is insurance sales a better opportunity right now?
• Which one would you personally focus on as a beginner with no experience?

Would really appreciate honest opinions from people actually doing these businesses.

Hey everyone,

I’m very new to real estate wholesaling and still trying to understand how this business really works, so sorry if this is a basic question.

Is it actually possible to make deals on off-market properties that have unpaid debt(tax) or owners who haven’t paid for a long time? Or is trying to contact and make offers on these properties usually a waste of time since they’re not actively listed?

Also, does the same strategy apply to inherited properties/probate homes?

I’d really appreciate hearing from people who have actual experience with these kinds of deals.
