Why I Deleted All My Scheduled Posts for 2026

Why I Deleted All My Scheduled Posts for 2026

Dear fellow WAers,
If you have been reading my posts for a while, you might have noticed that I have been writing a post in every three days. You might not be wondering how I did it because today, that's no longer a question. We have tools in our hands to write and schedule things fast, both here, and on our websites.

But...

There's a challenge, and others have spoken out louder than the rest. The challenge is that modern tools are very good to use, resulting in a temptation to use them fast without looking at the side effects involved. One of the side effects is writing in a polished English without a writer's 'soul,' the personal experience, especially when we are supposed to be sharing ideas that hit us in the middle of the night, or what we did after watching a short video and what happened next as a result.

That AI text might go unnoticed, but not for long. One might not intend to confuse others, (at least I thought I was sharing my heart, faster, smarter), but readers do not only recognize the creator, the machine behind the words, but also wonder why we use it in the first place, in such a way. While there are lots of lessons to learn from 'generic' advice, we should leave that to AI and other sources like Google and books.

Last night, using my mobile phone after reading brave, warm comments on my latest post by Eric, I have decided to delete all my scheduled posts that are based on general guidance and not on events in my own world. However, a lot have been going on in my world from January to now (June 18th, 2026), and I have to focus on those events as usual, to inspire others to learn, act, and see results, then share how they did it with others to inspire them.

That's the spirit of this community, isn't it?

I encourage all of us to rethink how we share information here. While it's a good thing to teach others, the community is mainly for sharing news from both our individual lives and work.

For example, since I upgraded to Premium Plus+ on the 31st of July 2025, what have I learned so far in affiliate marketing? What did I try out? What worked, and what failed, and why?

While my text (this post) might be raw and not smooth, it's mine. It also helped me type better and faster with accuracy. And oh, I've been typing long texts loooong before AI was born!

Now, I'm not saying we should not use AI at all. I will still use it where I must, but not for these updates.

What do you think about this U-turn? Are you trapped in AI creation even though you know it doesn't represent you 100%, and if so, what can you do about it, today? I'd love to hear from you in the comments. Like (if you liked it), comment, and share it.
