Annual Renewal Time (Again) + Approaching Year 8!

Hello All!Just a short note to celebrate my latest annual subscription renewal. Woo-Hoo, the money was taken out of my account today and once again I am good for a year! I like the peace of mind of not worrying about payment month in and month out....Speaking of month in and month out...I will hit 8 years on this platform in about 6 months, but long ago I went annual with my subscription versus the monthly plan. That switch from monthly to annual occurred during the BFCM timeframe the f

It Starts With A Vision (Board)

Hi, Everyone...Well, the new year is here, and we are all hopefully implementing whatever plans we have for the year in regards to our business and life. At this point, most of the resolutions are yet to be broken or missed. If you are one of those that perhaps has not developed your plan of action for the year, I would like to suggest creating a Vision Board to nail down what you want to accomplish, how you will do it, and when you will do it.This initial step will help you gain clarity on you

Outsourcing in 2022 - Can You Afford NOT to?

Hi, Everyone...When it comes to things like content or product creation, nothing beats outsourcing in terms of getting it done with ease.To make it work, you need to do some planning and upfront work - first to find and hire a competent freelancer and secondly to prepare what I like to call an RFQ (that is what we called these in the Army) or in layman's terms a "Request for Quote.".In reality, what you are doing is getting a statement of requirements together, and the more detailed you are whe

How To Turn A Questionable Comment Into A Positive Outcome

Hi, Everyone...As a follow-up to my last blog here on the comment feature that we all love and hate, I decided to go through an example of what some would consider being an unacceptable comment received from a request I made for one of my posts on my websites.I want to show how I turned that comment into a positive (IMO) through the reply I provided to it...There were what many would think of as rocky (blunt?) viewpoints presented in the comment and my reply as well...That is okay...The name of

What Are Valid Reasons for Disapproving Requested Comments?

Hi, Everyone...As I have been using the comment feature of the platform recently, I thought it might be good to make a few as opposed to just using all my credits up (I still have well over 600 credits, but I like to have a healthy reserve)......Background:I had stopped making or requesting comments due to a lack of time and also it seemed like the quality was going down of comments received. I am the kind of person that will make something out of nothing if possible, and often I do. If the com

Best Ever One Day Sales Results Yesterday

Hi, Everyone...Just a quick note to let you know our operation is celebrating the best day ever of sales for services/products & programs we offer/promote.In just one service offer, we had a total of $4,756 USD in sales. There was some other income we realized as well, but this was the one that put us well over the top of our daily target...I know it is not the world, but it is significant for us.

A Plan for 2021 & Do You Have Yours Completed?

Hi, Everyone...You may or may not have noticed that I have not been involved with the social side of Wealthy Affiliate much for most of the year...There is a reason for that, and it leads me directly to the subject of this post...In spite of the terrible year that 2020 has been in so many ways, with all the turmoil and disruption to the "normal" that we each may know, no matter what that may be for each of us, I and hopefully others within the membership have found a way to take some positives
