Get more eyes on your business when you become a Legend
Legends benefit from free promotion and intentional relationship building in a network with over 400 creative entrepreneurs worldwide. Whether you want to get your business in front of more people, find the right collaborators or be inspired by how others are building their business, this is the right place. And at only $119/year, Legends say the return on their investment is a no brainer.
I'm in a bunch of communities. What makes Legends different?
1) Legends isn't a community! It's a promotion network. You don't have to chit chat in Slack or keep up with a forum. You just submit your stuff to promote in our newsletter, join in on an active collaboration happening or show up to a mixer. No chatting required.
2) Legends is for advanced business owners. Most folks here are 5-20+ years in business and they don't have time for lollygagging around. You don't have to have that much experience, but that's why we keep it focused and low energy. Participate and promote when you want. Nothing to catch up on here.
3) The Legends are backing a media venture Revenue Rulebreaker which is rethinking how we cover the small business space via blogs and newsletters. You're part of producing original stories on how solopreneurs make money, featuring unconventional business owners and keeping up to date with what's up with our tech tools. You get all access to this info as a Legend and the fact that this info exists helps to keep over 2k+ businesses IN business.
Why join NOW? Because the price of Legends is going up forever on October 19.
Plus, we have all this cool stuff happening now!
- October 19-December 11: The Secret Santa Swap kicks off! This is a fun event we've done 2 years in a row where it's a newsletter/podcast/blog/social swap and the catch is I assign you another Legends to promote IN SECRET. And someone else promotes you back. I do the reveals every week once the promotions come out.
- October 13-December 31: Legends Book Fair. Add any books you've written so Legends can browse and buy.
- October 23: Legends Plug-In Session where you'll learn how to best use the network to your advantage.
- December 17: Q4 Earnings Call where we run down the state of the business behind Revenue Rulebreaker and Legends for Q4 (Oct-Dec 2026).
- January: Legends Wishlist will return! Legends share three wishes they have for the new year and sometimes, if you're lucky, another Legend might help make your wish come true.
- Plus, you get half off tickets for our fall public event series on how to get paid to speak, selling your self-published book and how to get clients from email (running Sept 10-Nov 30)
🏆 Perks of being a Legend:
- Regular shoutouts and at least 3 free classified ads a year in my newsletter (see some of the results my advertisers get)
- Warm introductions to others in the network
- Visibility in our Legends Directory to get more referrals and collaborations (and just so people know who you are)
- Collaboration invitations to expand your audience like the Loose Ties Scavenger Hunt, and Secret Santa Swap.
- Mixer invitations twice a year to expand your network where I match you up personally with other Legends based on your audience, location and industry
- Invitations to my quarterly earnings calls so you can see where your money is going and inform what we do with it
- All you can read Revenue Rulebreaker stories about how other entrepreneurs are making it work right now in RevenueRulebreaker.com
- All you can read Paid Newsletter Playbook guides about running a paid subscription business on PaidNewsletterPlaybook.com
- Bonus perks that we unlock every 100 Legends—next one is a Legends unconference!
Why Legends join:
Legends get the concrete perks listed above, but they also receive benefits from being part of the Legends network. Legends like each other! And they're inclined to like you too. That means you may also experience:
- New collaborators
- New referral partners
- New clients/customers
- New newsletter readers, podcast listeners, livestream viewers
- New social media amplifiers and commenters
- Friend of a friend introductions through Legends to other rad people
I am not promising any of this. I'm running a very low cost subscription here so I'm not making a guarantee of any kind BUT active Legends—ones who come to stuff or connect with other Legends through our activities—do report business expanding benefits. That's the serendipity of being a Legend! It's pretty easy to make your $119 bucks back. Plus, lots of people actually enjoy my writing and find it useful. Crazy I know!
Other Legends join to get access to all my writing on RevenueRulebreaker.com and the PaidNewsletterPlaybook.com (but if you just want content access, you can get a Backstage Pass for $79/yr instead)
Here's some of why Legends say it's worth it:
"If you're debating joining, I can help you make the decision....JUST DO IT. Lex runs the best events and campaigns for members. In just 2 months and thanks to one of these campaigns, I saw a 657% ROI from my Legends membership!" Jamie Cox, Branding Strategist
"I joined before I even fully understood what it was because I knew 'if Lex was doing this, it was going to be good'. Now I love the fact that, in addition to the newsletter, we get all these surprises all based on your creative ideas and things you think would be cool to do. Such a treat!" Alison Coward, Team Culture Expert
"Lex's Legends has been the network I've been searching for." Jennifer Spoelma, Creative Generalist
"Legends Mixers are my FAVORITE networking events. Lex does such an amazing job matching us up and encouraging connections. I can't wait for the next one!" Kara Detwiller, Writer
"I'd wager that my investment in joining the Legends community, led by Lex Roman, will be the best investment I make in 2025. For just $9/month, the sheer amount of actionable content available at the click of a button has already sparked countless ideas." Raven O'Neal, Business Strategist and Podcaster
"I just became part of the Legends community by Lex Roman. Lex is the best in the business when it comes to helping creators, journalists, freelancers–basically anyone who works for themselves–figure out how to build their values-based businesses. Look forward to this next year with Lex!" Yulia Denisyuk, Journalist and filmmaker
"The Legends Network is such a gold mine I willingly paid for it twice. It's where I've met all my business besties. It's my go to network when I need to hire, collaborate, or look for help. It's incredibly valuable and it's F U N. If you are a creative business owner you need to be in here. It's that simple." Laura Green, Business Strategist
"Becoming a Legend was the best money I’ve spent for my business and my soul. The human connection, especially as biz owners and especially now, is invaluable. I cannot recommend this group highly enough." Shawnna Stiver, Copywriter
"Very few people have impacted my entrepreneurial journey as much as Lex Roman. Lex has introduced me to some of my greatest collaborators, favorite clients, and best friends." Devin Lee, Systems Strategist
The backstory of Legends
I launched Legends when I started Revenue Rulebreaker as a way to fund this project. It's become so much more than that quickly.
It's now a network of really fucking cool creative entrepreneurs.
There are 400+ Legends as I write this. They are creatives, agency owners, authors, professional speakers, educators, media entrepreneurs, community operators, and creators. Legends are experts at their craft, established in their businesses and well connected in their fields.
Legends are people who share the ethos of Revenue Rulebreaker and who want to build their business alongside with likeminded entrepreneurs.
They joined at first because of me. They stayed and kept joining because of each other.
It's important that you know this is not a community. It's a network. I host Legends for mixers. I match Legends for co-promotion. I introduce Legends when it makes sense. It's low effort, high reward. I drive most of it. And it's full of serendipity.
Become part of this incredible network and contribute to this project of making revenue rulebreaking possible for more entrepreneurs.
The more of us who make money the way we want to, doing the things we want to do, living the lives we want to live, the more we pave that path for others.
