the need for social interaction
Hi!
With COVID, my social interaction has decreased dramatically. I find that I am mainly interacting with family members at home, through phone calls, online business meetings, emails, and of course online. I find the existence of this community at Wealthy Affiliate goes a long way to connecting me, in this somewhat lone blogging pursuit, to have social interaction.
One way that the WA community helps is simply by having training. I have spent a good bit of time with the training, including implementing what I am learning. I also have found that when I get stuck, help is just a quick message away, and that has been reassuring!
I have been at it for about 7 months now. My biggest effort has been in generating content. I have generated over 50 posts, which I understand from the messging on the WA platform is (calculated by words) more than 99% of other members. I am not sure how that can be, but that is what it says.
I am proud of the content I have produced and think it can be helpful to people - specifically project managers, and secondarily to managers of all types - but the reach is very limited. The jury really is still out. I am getting 15-20 unique visitors daily now, which seems very low for this point. I have gotten one comment - and have not used WA members for commenting - yet.
I find that I have just a couple of posts that account for the lion's share of my traffic. I find that strange and don't know what to attribute it to yet. I have reviewed those posts vs others and do not see a huge differentiator.
I take solice, again, in the fact that I am not alone - that there is help out there, and that there is continued training and info. I am ramping up my social media participation, and trying to be careful to do that judiciously.
Anyway, thanks for reading, and I hope that reading this has made your day feel a little more connected!

Hello John. I really feel you on this one - the need for social interaction. Our world has changed so dramatically and we have had to adjust to small circles of physical interaction. Thankfully, technology allows us to broaden our circles and the WA community is one of them! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Best wishes.
