Do you work your business daily? If not, how many days a week do you work it? Would you want to work your business daily? What challenges are you currently undergoing?

I

I work daily and start immediately after any contract work is finished. I take "me" time at least one to two days each week, but usually not back-to-back. I feel most people need some time to unwind and rejuvenate. If something must be done immediately, the "me" time gets pushed back.

Since re-joining WA a little over 1 week ago, I'd say I'm spending 2-4 hours per day. Well, except for today (Saturday) because I've been at this laptop since about 7am this morning and it's 6:40pm now. LOL! I'm going to be retiring from my IT job in 1-2 months, but I still want to limit working on my WA stuff to about 4 hours per day. I'll have other things going on in my retirement, so time will vary a bit from day to day. What I AM looking forward to is being able to work on my online business anytime and anywhere my heart desires. 😁

That's immaculately fascinating feedback right here, especially the last sentence. Absolutely! As I recall, Roope here, "Financial, Time, and Location Freedom!" - And yeah, doable and attainable!

As I told Dan, I would probably feel weird if I had to work just 2 - 4 hours daily. I don't know what my day would look like.

I appreciate your feedback here, Dave!

All the best on your online journey.

Hi TheAbiePPlus,
I still work at a J.O.B. and I haven't the time to actually get this going. I live in a senior community and can't have my address visible on emails I send out. So I have halted my progress trying to figure out how to correct this issue to continue my journey. But kudos to you, keep up the good work!

I hear you, Michael; I know you need a proper address for your autoresponder. I have known some (which I do not advise) to put down any address to get going initially.

However, I asked my buddy GPT, and they came up with the following. You'd want to cross-reference these findings.

- Virtual Mailbox Services
Consider using a virtual mailbox service. These services provide you with a physical mailing address that you can use for business correspondence and email marketing requirements. This address can receive mail on your behalf, which you can then manage online. This solution keeps your personal address private while complying with laws that require a physical address in email communications.

- Registered Agent Services
You can use a registered agent service if your business is registered as an LLC or corporation. These services can act as your public-facing address for official documents and can also be used in your email marketing to keep your home address private.

- Privacy in Communications
For your email communications, especially marketing emails, make sure you're using a professional email marketing service that complies with privacy laws. These laws mandate that emails include a physical address, and these services are designed to include legally required information without compromising your privacy.

- Legal and Business Advice
Consider consulting with a legal advisor to ensure all your business activities, including email marketing, comply with local laws while respecting your privacy needs.

I appreciate your compliment here, Michael :) Please keep me updated on your progress.

Thank you TheAbiePPlus and your buddy GPT for the advise. I will look into these recommendations to see which would be best to get on track. Again, thank both of you for the advise!

You are most welcome, Michael :) We're happy to have helped. Please keep us posted on your progress.

Will do! Thanks again!

Np, I hope you guys are enjoying a fabulous Sunday :)

Good on you, Abbie 👍

In the beginning I started off with 4 hours a day, so when both my boys would be at school, hubby at work (he does 8-5) so no distraction at all! But then, somehow life gets in the way, and I mean like really everything takes over my life, I literally don't have time to sit and sometimes forget to eat!

I then get back into a routine, and then, BAM!!! here we go again!

Right now, I am focussing on Ramadan but I try to fit some hours in and it's just not hapening.

I need to discipline me really. I need to put myself first 😔

This is what Scott said in the live chat,

"Scottyh19603 hrs ago
@TheAbiePPlus Well that's good! "Ya gotta eat or you will die" said my 5 year old son years ago."

So you would want to eat.

Yeah, I hear you. I know what you mean. I try as hard as possible to get the least distracted. But I see you're trying. We have to keep trying.

I appreciate your comment here, Minara :)

And Happy Ramadan month.

I work on my business daily. I am always trying to push myself to do more. I do have a full-time commitment outside of WA. There are days I have to force myself to get on here but once I do It flows pretty good. I do at least one hour every day, more when I have the time.

I am looking to make this my full-time income, I know it will take some time. If I don't make it, it won't be because of my lack of effort or desire to make it happen.

That's pretty awesome; I admire your undivided focus and attention potential when you get going.

I'd say I am confident I can make it happen. What do I need to do exactly? How can I make it work?

I think of my why, perhaps.

Can the authors monitor their community Vlogs like they do in the webinar classes? Can you please confirm? I mean, can authors see who viewed their Vlogs?

I am pretty cu

we can do vlogs? how? where?

Tim

Good afternoon no one can see but you, have a fabulous weekend.

They cannot see who visits their vlogs, as they are not in the classes format. Vlogs are treated exactly the same as blogs. ;)

Thank you, Kyle :) I appreciate the response here.

Idk, Abioi.

Fair enough, lol You wouldn't know as you do not do Vlogs lol

With a new interface. I am struggling as it isn't working correctly. I have advised the Grammarly team of this issue. Yet their support isn't up to standard.

Hi,

Let me step in as Nata's supervisor here and apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused.

We always appreciate hearing from our users because it helps us make our product better. However, as mentioned previously, we don't have an option to get back to the previous interface. Please accept our sincerest apologies for the inconvenience.

To compensate for our inability to help, we have extended your Premium access for two weeks (until xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx), free of charge. We know it's definitely not ideal, but please rest assured that your feedback has been shared with the appropriate team here at Grammarly.

I wish we could help you resolve this directly, but it’s beyond our capabilities at this point.

Thank you for your understanding,
Kelly

===================================================

What a LOSER! Really, what use is TWO WEEKS more if I cannot use your app?

I am having difficulty, too, Abioi.

Tell me about it. It is time to call it a day and find an alternative. I am trying Richard's suggestion below. I have installed the extension.

I stopped using Grammarly some time ago because it seemed to regularly "tie up" my laptop. Nowadays, I'm using the free version of Quillbot browser extension (which I only turn on when needed) and the Hemingway App.
:-)
Richard

Hi Richard, one thing I noticed with Hemingway is that it removes many keywords, so I don't use it now. Its made me unhappy with the new Hemingway plus lots of my keywords get replaced with keywords that have nothing to do my overall content. I think it's still new and a bit buggy. It's the same as Grammarly.

Thanks for that, Brenda. I haven't found that but now you mention it I'll watch for it
:-)
Richard

Thanks, Richard. I have installed it, and I am going to give it a go :) I appreciate your comment here.

Well spotted Abie. Hope it gets sorted soon.
Bux

:) The problem hasn't been solved.

Not a quick fix then. That’s frustrating. Is there a way round it for now.

Soon I am going for breakfast...

Breakfast is out of the way :)

Enjoy.

Merci beaucoup, Monsieur Bux!

I have the same issue. What happens is the Grammarly updated version in Block Editor in WordPress tends to go to the bottom of the page and its a struggle to get it to move up to the page. It won't do it. My siblings and I have a business account with them, so we contacted support to let them know it's buggy. Like you, we have not heard back. You are right their support sucks. I need it to help me shorten some sentences to the area where I want you could get the app to go anywhere on the sentences line but not anymore it stays on the bottom and it goes red with a circle. See my screenshot

That happens with me too just keep clicking on it to fix the errors and happens when you transfer the written article from Grammarly to your word press editor it’s like your fixing gets lost in the ether . I’m skeptical about Grammarly that wants all your information input ?

Yeah, tell me about it. I do not always follow Grammarly's suggestion, so I will click dismiss. Especially when using keywords, I leave it as it is. It will try to change the word niche to place- so its wrong, its niche. I click dismiss, and then the red goes away. Yes, it is annoying. It stays at the bottom. It just doesn't want to move up when I ask it to. Sometimes, it scrambles words; I have to fix it. I can see the new version is still buggy. Im still waiting for the new version to fix those bugs.

Yeah! I hear you, Brenda.

They haven't responded to updates yet; they certainly haven't resolved the issues.

I have installed Richard's suggestion to try it out and see if I'm better off.

I appreciate what you're going through, and I am trying to increase their support tickets for them to do something about it.

Yes it had a new upgrade to where it gets all your information online, so I didn't choose it because I didn't want my bank account or debit card details share with them?

Okay, I appreciate your comment here.
