I just took a refresher course in First Aid this week. Our skills must be upgraded every couple of years in Corrections.

As First Aid has developed, they have devised a mnemonic to help first aiders remember the model to follow when assisting the injured.

First Aid

That sequence reads as DRSABCD.

Dangers - Awareness of anything that could affect your ability to offer first aid (hazards, etc.)

Response - Check if the patient is responsive

Send for Help - Get someone to call emergency services, retrieve a defibrillator.

Airway - Ensure their airway is not blocked

Breathing - Ensure they're breathing - 10 seconds watching to see if the chest or diaphragm rises and falls. Your cheek close to their nose and mouth to see if you can feel their breath.

if the patient is not breathing....

CPR -

Defibrillation -

if the patient is breathing...

Check for Injuries -

Doctor -

We followed the steps, ticked all the boxes and passed the course.

During the breaks, I wondered if the same mnemonic could be applied to one of Wealthy Affiliate's prime tasks:

Content Creation.

content creation

Here's what I put together for DRSABCD. At the end I've also added an E.

I've assumed you already have a niche and a list of topics to write about. So....

D is Draft. Outline your content. Site Content has some great tools you can use. Write it yourself or get assistance from the AI Author.

R is Reflect. Proofread your content. Even using the AI Author requires proofreading. Grammarly is a massive help for this. Think about what might make it better.

S is Strengthen. If you find something amiss, fix it. For example, an idea that wasn't expanded enough, sentences that needed tightening, or following good SEO. Remember headings and images.

A is Appraise. Give your article the final once over and decide if it's ready to publish.

B is Broadcast. Publish or post

C is Comments. By seeking comments and feedback through the Wealthy Affiliate pathways and then responding to those observations, we can establish authority for our website.

D is Ditto. Do it all over again.

E is Education. Keep on learning—there's a Wealth of Affiliate Wisdom at WA. Follow all the training. If you're unsure of anything, Ask a Question. Remember—it's not over until you win!

Love the analogy Andrew! I need to do a refresher in first aid though...

So much has changed since I last did one 20 years ago it seems!!

👍👍

Thanks, Nick,

It changes every couple of years. The knowledge bank gets an upgrade, and we must keep abreast of those upgrades.

You never know when you might need it1

Absolutely my friend!

Great post! I work in a prison on the free staff side. I've only done CPR once and have never been trained. What I learned from TV and the nursing and custody in the clinic at work kicked in, and I did it.
Great analogy.

Thanks, Kerri,

It's one of those things you hope you'll never have to use, but after a refresher every couple of years, you know it will become second nature if there's ever the necessity.

All the best

Good parallel analogy, Andrew!

Thanks Howard!

I love it, Andrew!

It's been a while. And great to be back.

Absolutely, Andrew! :)
I couldn't stay out for 1 day, I know what you mean.
