Do You Know That You Are Graded?

Have you ever used Uber or Lyft for a ride? Or stayed in an AirBnb residence? I am sure you received a notice to grade the level of service you received. Right?

What you may not know is that the Car Owner/Driver and the Home Owner are also asked to grade you! If you already know this then good for you. What if you didn't?

Here's the thing. It is important that you receive a high grade in the reverse evaluation. If you do not, it is possible for Uber and Lyft drivers to refuse to give you a ride. Or AirBnb home-owners who may not rent you their space.

The lesson here is to treat the driver with dignity and respect. And leave the AirBnb residence in good condition.

Grading At Wealthy Affiliate

Guess what. We are also graded here at Wealthy Affiliate. Our Rank is a measure of how well we help others through our interactions, encouragements and blog posts. It is always a good idea to give back to the community we are active in. Be it online or in our local life.

Reviews

As affiliate marketers one of our actions is to write reviews on the products and services we are promoting. As well as those that we consider sub-standard. I'd like to give a tip. Even if whatever you are reviewing doesn't meet your standards, be kind.

Always point out what redeeming qualities you find. Even if they are very slight. And when you point out the things you do not like, avoid providing a long laundry list of these items. Pick just a few and provide helpful comments on how they can be improved. The product manufacturer would appreciate that kind of positive feedback.

Site Feedback & Site Comments

Most of us should be familiar with the Site Feedback and Site Comments section at Wealthy Affiliate. I have discussed the difference between these before and the best way to respond to these posts. However, I shall summarize my comments here.

Site Feedback is where you approach it like giving then review example I wrote above. Site Comments is a whole different story. The author is NOT looking for Feedback. They want you to comment on the type of product they have presented through discussion, bringing up your own experience or just asking questions.

The kind of response the author wants is listed in the Site Comments brief. Make sure you read that. Once again, be positive in your response. And stick to the point.

The Altucher Report

This post was inspired by the current issue of #TheAltucherReport, January 2020, Volume 5, Issue 12. James Altucher who I admire greatly is a very down to earth entrepreneur and blogger. He brought up the topic of being a critic.

He segued into the activity of blogging and affiliate marketing. James discussed what guides him in writing his reviews. The following is the outline he uses to craft his content. I shall list the headings he used that I feel we can all relate to.

1. The Pain Point
2. The Solution
3. Be Honest About Anything Major
4. Include The Negative
5. Affiliate Links
6. Disclosures

He also wrote about the importance of writing useful content and getting involved with your online community.

Conclusion

This was one of the more interesting issues I have read and wanted to share this with you. It is reassuring when people you follow validate the business we are in here at Wealthy Affiliate.

I feel good today because I completed a new post for my website. It is about showing people in MLM on how to use affiliate marketing to develop their MLM business. This was not new to me as I had written a parallel post in my original website based on my LegalShield MLM business.

Then I discovered @ChuckHolmes here who is a master of using this same technique, He also inspires me in this business.

I strongly suggest finding two or three experts in our field, follow them and learn from their experience. And they all do not have to be a member of Wealthy Affiliate.

I wish you much success in your affiliate marketing journey.

Cheers!
