The Benefits Of Using The Comments Thread
I wonder how many of you visit the sites of other WA members to leave a comment.
Don't underestimate the learning power of visiting other sites, reading the posts and leaving a comment. It isn't only about receiving comments in return.
There are so many other benefits:-
1.There are literally thousands of different themes, structure, colours and fonts to choose from when creating your website. Visiting other sites gives you insight to your own likes and dislikes. In the beginning this is invaluable especially in saving time and energy in changing your theme continuously until you find something you like.
2.Visiting sites in the same niche as your own gives you different views on similar topics and gives some content ideas. You don't want to copy someone else's content but you may have a different stance on the subject.
3.Visiting other site helps you understand your own preferences for building a website. It gives you the opportunity to say to yourself
"What would I do differently?"
"What would I do to improve this?
Where would I place the images?" etc...
4. Leaving comments is great for interaction within the site confines but it also opens up communication between members within the comment thread and that is always a positive thing. It's a way to build relationships with other members at Wealthy Affiliate.
5. Sometimes, the learning at WA can become rather overwhelming and you begin to doubt that you'll ever succeed. It is a wonderful experience helping others and to see how far your own learning has come. A word to the wise here though, don't criticise without giving help to improve otherwise it just comes across as criticism and not help!! No-one likes that.
Remember, you can learn from internet marketers who have been around for yonks but you can also learn from those who are just starting out on their internet journey.
So, don't forget the comment thread aren't only about receiving comments in return.
The links below will take you to the relevant pages. Go on, give it a go.

Yep, that's exactly how I feel about leaving comments on other members' site. It's the right way to help each other, but it's also inspirational.

I agree with you 100%. I think sometimes people don't go to other sites in the same niche because subconsciously they are scared to see that someone has a site that may be better looking than their own site.
This is a big mistake and you should use that as motivation to keep working. You can get your own site to look exactly how you want it if you work on it and don't give up.
Great post Jackie!
Thank you Bryce.
I have to admit that it's been a recent revelation to me on how I can learn from this practice.
Take care

Outstanding, Jackie :) We learn so much from each other, that it only follows that we would encourage fellow members by leaving helpful comments on their websites. It's all about "paying it forward."
Absolutely Sharon.
I've learnt more in my time at WA than ever I did at University - wrong but true

Great post. This is actually something I keep meaning to do more of. I've looked at a number of other member's sites and they've always stimulated some new interest in me.
Thanks Craig
I have to admit that it has taken me a while to realise the benefits.
I think I was reticent because I didn't believe I had the experience to comment!
Take care

I know that some people are a bit nervous about commenting, as some members have had their comments and feedback refused, resulting in the loss of commenting privileges for a time.

Ahhh Jackie, your insight is on the money. I have to admit, I stay away because of a bad experience or two but really should get back to using them!
Wow... is it awesome to see you or WHAT???
