Connecting with new businesses uses a connection credit, but connecting with businesses owners you already know is always free!
For those that do not wish to upload their address book, you can send out single invites via email. These invites will automatically connect you with whoever accepts it! 
You can invite single email addresses using this link here:
https://www.alignable.com/biz/address_books/upload/new?upload_from=invites_new
Additionally, on the right hand side of that page, you should see a box containing your very own personal invite link. You can share that link on your social media or with your contacts and if anyone clicks on that link and joins Alignable you will automatically be connected!
How can I invite a single business?
