Upping this. Finally making the leap in 2022. What are some transparent/reliable FMOs I should consider looking into? (primarily doing MAPD/Med Supp)

You really need the following:
1) Money- It looks like you're leaving your book. So you're starting at zero. That sucks. That means you need to eat, pay your bills, and market. As noted above, trim your budget as much as possible.
DO NOT BE AFRAID TO TAKE A CRAPPY JOB LIKE UBER while you build your book.
2) Leads-
Don't use Facebook. I mean, you can, and some people are successful.. but META has the dumbest marketing rules in all creation and nobody is looking for your 10 tips about Medicare on Facebook. After trying FACEBOOK multiple times, I said screw it.
Also, Leads. I'd get in the business of generating your own vs buying them. Personally, I'm a control freak. I like having my hands in every aspect of my marketing plan. I'm not ashamed to say I stole from T65Inbound.com a little bit, especially since the owner and I talked about different generation ideas (he started using things that I tweaked on his setup, not saying that he took it from me.. and also not caring if he did.)
Personally, any generation you do should lead people to your website, along with your contact info. Seniors generally don't want to immediately call someone that you mailed once. They usually have seen my website, read my story, and have contacted me directly. That usually filters out a lot of time wasters.
You write less, but your business is usually better.
Finally, you need a mentor or two. You might get it from your FMO, but I wouldn't count on it. This site is a good place to find one. But this leads to my bonus tip...
BONUS TIP:
No matter what you decide to do, someone is going to have an opinion and think you should do it differently. In the immortal words of George C Scott in Angus, "Screw em.."
They aren't paying your bills. You're independent to make your own decisions. Listen when it makes sense and do whatever when it doesn't.
