I like your post and well said, but some times new people are not as savvy? on how things work around here and after all we are all here to learn..!
When you are frustrated about something you are not apt to go looking around for the correct answer first time?
This may actual be called "help in some quarters" ...!
But it is good you have the subject covered for the next time it is required? Thank you.

So very true!!

Searchers v Askers! Good post and I agree. I also agree that it's good to interact with fellow WA members. I think certain personality types will most likely ask a direct question whereas others might be more inclined to dig about and find the answer for themselves. I'm more likely to search but either is surely OK?

I don't really post many questions, but find most of what I'm looking for is already been asked anyway, so a simple search is suffice for me.

Sometimes it is faster to ask a question than to search it out. Dare I say that.

That is why tags and keywords are important when posting, Also, if you don't search using the right tags or keywords, sometimes the answers don't show up.

With that said, it is a good idea to attempt a search before posting a question.

Yes this works as well. Good job explaining.

As Kyle says though, ask as many questions as you need to and get all the help right here. There is a reason for his stating this in lessons. And there is a reason you increase your rank here at WA when asking questions.

As discussed by Kyle... by asking questions here, it will be an interaction within the group. Members learn better by reinforcing their own learning during the time they are explaining to others with their own answers. Creating conversations within a category of subject within the community is important and lets everyone be a part of the solution. Our interaction as members with one another becomes the support the whole program is based on.
Neglecting to ask questions here, I feel is harmful to our own development within the program.

Feeling ignorant about a question is no reason to go off somewhere else to feel less embarrassed, as itself is a learning process we all should go through as a developmental learning experience.
Interaction between members bolsters our own abilities and teaches us principles of sales.

At least it has helped me write better, learn more, and improve all the way around by interacting with others here at WA. And who better to ask how your site is coming along?

Google, or the WA members? :)

ps: nice blog.
pss: I think it smart to interact with real people one on one. And I truly believe this is the main ingredient in why WA program is as successful as it is today. :)

Great Post!

Lots of answers to be found by searching in the search bar on top of this and every page in WA. Just saying :-) Remember the TAGS we enter when writing a blog here or asking for help

In as much as I agree with you that many of the questions have been asked and answered before, we should be aware that not all who come to WA are computer savvy or familiar with the search engines. We don't all have the same level of internet research capabilities. Needless to say, we are all here to learn.

I know you have good intentions, Hantaah! I hope people who know how to search for answers would first check on their own.

Great blog hantaah! It's true, many times we ask things that have already been answered in WA, and we didn't take a look at them. Although sometimes we forget, it is still good to first check if our question has already been answered.
