And i found launch control but the minimum is $500 a month, but they use cross-referencing data across sources to find the most accurate contact information by using a person's name and address to find their phone number, real address and email by accessing public databases, phone number directories, credit reports, utility bils, public tax records, and social media profiles. this is waaay expensive for me as a beginner. what do you suggest or if anyone has any suggestion I'd greatly appreciate it.??

And if you’re into marketing, knowing your way around Canva or even basic social media scheduling tools would be really helpful too.Finding a gig might take a little effort, but there are so many opportunities out there.
