How to Join the ConsultDex Community
There are two ways in, both on the join page: share a skill file you built and your first year is free, or subscribe with a 14-day free trial.

Android: Download from Google Play
Connect to community.consultdex.com
After installing:
1. Open the Discourse app
2. Tap the Discovery tab (bottom navigation)
3. Enter: `community.consultdex.com`
4. Log in with the credentials we sent you
That’s it. You’re in.
What You’ll Find
The ConsultDex community isn’t a typical forum. It’s where consultants share:
- Work-in-progress teardowns — real projects, real problems, real solutions
- Tool workflows — how we actually use n8n, Ahrefs, Salesforce, Claude Code
- Business questions — pricing strategies, client management, security setups
- Skills: skill files members built and use on real work, posted in Steal This Idea with notes on how they use them
No fluff. No theory. Just consultants helping consultants build better businesses.
Why Discourse?
We could’ve built a walled garden. Instead, we chose open-source software that:
- Works offline — read and compose on planes, trains, in basements
- Sends real notifications — not algorithmic feeds, actual alerts when people respond
- Supports markdown — write like you code, format like you think
- Stays lightweight — no tracking scripts, no ads, no surveillance capitalism
The big platforms want your attention. We want your expertise.
Community Guidelines
1. Share work-in-progress — finished case studies are fine, but messy teardowns are better
2. Link to full writeups — use the forum for discussion, your blog for deep dives
3. Ask real questions — “How do you handle X?” beats “What do you think about X?”
4. Respect confidentiality — anonymize client names, redact sensitive data
We’re building a professional network for people who actually do the work.
What’s Next?
Once you’re in, introduce yourself. Tell us:
- What you consult on
- What tools you use
- What you’re trying to figure out right now
The community grows when consultants share what they know and ask for what they need.
See you inside.
