Am I missing something about Blogging?
I'm hoping the community members will answer a few questions for me that may help me to have a better understanding on Blogging? When we take the time out of our busy day to prepare and share our knowledge, because we've been asked for help, and very few respond when we answer them, what am I missing? When we Pay it Forward for those who specified where they are having difficulty and only 10 people respond and out of the 10 only 4 actually give great feedback, why is that? The last I heard we are a community of 190,000 and growing and 10 is the best response that is given to a caring community member!
We are listening and we make the time to fulfill the needs of the many, and we really do care to make a difference so you can become successful too! That's what Paying it Forward is all about, but for those who take and don't even acknowledge the members who are there for them, I just don't think there is a clear understanding of what WA is all about! The time has been taken to be a helpful caring community, it's just common courtesy to take a few moments of your time to let them know their time is appreciated and helpful, and there are so many helpful members! " And that's all I'm going to say about that!"
If you're not sure what Paying it Forward means, I invite you to go to my profile page and under my Visual aid Trainings you'll find a short but specific video that you can watch and learn, called Paying it Forward! Thank You community members who really put yourselves out there! Keep Smiling. Sharon:).
I too am not sure, but I do know that I get so many emails that I can not get through them all or that is all I will do in the time I have to work on my sites and lessons.
I do apologize to anyone that I may have offended, but I do understand that some people just do not have enough time to get back to everyone.
I do know that if the blog is way long, I sometimes will not be able to read it all.
Thanks
Sheila :)
I can think of a few.
One thing I have noticed when some of the newer members ask a question, and they receive no response, I have looked at their profiles and their networks are very small....meaning that their question hasn't reached a lot of members.
Another answer would be that if in fact there are 190,000 members like you say, and if each of them posted daily, our mailboxes would be way too full to even consider responding to even a small percentage.
Let's see what others have to say.
I feel the younger generation has lost their respect for others some what these days. It gets frustrating to not have some appreciation for what you try to do. I don't write many articles so far in our short stay at WA (which we truly love) because I am still "feeling" my way around but I like to respond to other writings as I can Thanks for bring this up. Stay Happy Sharon!!.
