NLB Community Guidelines Overview

Vision & Mission

NextLevelBuilder (NLB) is a community of hands-on Builders — where every member actively SHIPs (publishes products, content, and value to the world) or CONTRIBUTEs (builds the community). "No Ship, No Seat" — If you don't ship, you don't have a seat in the community.

Two Paths to Join

• SHIP: Commit to 4 public posts/month, share in Discord #ship — for those who want to Build in Public • CONTRIBUTE: 45-day trial period, weekly reports — for those who want to contribute technically or to the community

Two Membership Types

• Premium: Full standard benefits — Discord, sessions, resources, community support • VIP: Premium + priority slots, early access, 1-on-1 with Mentor, direct Mentor access
