I was so excited when I published my first Blog "Understanding The Wealthy Affiliate Keyword Tool” for all on WA to benefit. It took some time for me to understand how to fully maximize the Keyword Tool’s power, but once I did, I had to share what I had learned. When I went to publish my 2nd article, I was disheartened to find that, although i just paid the full monthly premium, I was limited to 1 Blog and no Training for the first 3 months.
Curious. Why are we limited to 1 Blog per day or no Training articles for 3 months? I have much experience to share from Online knowledge obtained since being on the Internet in 1995. I love to share my knowledge freely with those who care to know. WA being a platform for knowledge sharing, I assumed we all could share the knowledge with the WA immediately. I was just caught off guard when I went to post 5 blogs I wrote during my journey through the Affiliate Boot Camp. I was really happy and hoped to help the community with my experience. That being said, I by far not criticizing WA. I love the program and I’m greatly benefiting from it already.
Am I the only one that thinks 3 months is a long time from sharing the knowledge obtained during your most active time on Wealthy Affiliate? Everything one needs to succeed is experienced during the 1st 3 months. I have seen so many people along my life's path get discouraged when it comes to working for success in the first 3 months due to lack of immediate results.
If the intent is to ensure the Premium Members know what they're talking about first, I can understand this and only have a suggestion... rather than restrict training for 3 months could we add a Moderation of Comments as done on WordPress?
I will continue to share my knowledge as best I can through my blogs. Thank you to all those who've communicated directly with me and provided the all the support, recommendations and feedback I’ve received on my two sites (www.onlinemoneymaker.xyz & www.cannabisholism.com). Comments are welcomed and appreciated. Thank you all!
Prosperous wishes to all!!

Do you want a laugh...
You don't stop laughing because you grow old; you grow old because you stop laughing.

I was walking down the street when I was
accosted by a particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless woman who
asked me for a couple of pounds for dinner. I took out my wallet, got
out £10 and asked, "If I give you this
money, will you buy wine with it instead of dinner?"
"No, I had to stop drinking years ago", the homeless woman told me.
"Will you use it to go shopping instead of buying food?" I asked.
"No, I don't waste time shopping," the homeless woman said.
"I need to spend all my time trying to stay alive."
"Will you spend this on a beauty salon instead of food?" I asked.
"Are you NUTS !" replied the homeless woman. " I haven't had my hair done in 20 years!"
"Well,"
I said, "I'm not going to give you the money. Instead, I'm going to
take you out for dinner with my husband and me tonight."
The homeless Woman was shocked.
"Won't your husband be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty and I probably smell pretty disgusting."
I said, "That's okay. It's important for him to see what a woman looks like after she has given up shopping,
hair appointments, and wine."
I agree with you but I have a lot to learn and am getting lost. If only I had A list of how to for what I want to do.
I find my self jumping all over the place trying to get from a to z. I am going from a to f then c then y and often back to a.
Get started here, boot camp, affiliate classroom etc.and back again.
Thanks for your time.
Thank you for that feedback. I don't like knowing that you are struggling. I can help you outside of this forum. If Private Messaging isn't enough, We can use Skype and talk live and I can walk you through it. Don't worry about time... I'm at this non-stop. I must admit that I try to do absolutely nothing on Sundays. I have established it as Family day. We all sit around and have a lot of laughs and disconnect from the world for awhile! I broke the rules for the first times in years and actually worked on WA for quite some time... oops... it's just too good to put down... LOL
My skype is thomas.short46 I live in Australia. My time is taken up by my wifes health problems and the computer 7 days a week so I spend a lot of time on the computer when not helping her.
I like skype as a lot of the time I need over the shoulder advice where I am going wrong. It may just be my age 74 years that gets my caught out at times plus not knowing all the little tricks.
I have about 80 blogs in google plus but my links are the problem I think. My fan page in f/book is #wealthandhealth .
There are only little mistakes holding me back I think.I always help those who help me as I would rather all would owe me not me owe them.
If there is anything I can do to help you please let me know and how.
Thanks Tom.
Hey Corey, I can understand your frustration. That in itself is a good sign my friend. The fact that you are busting at the seams to share your knowledge with this community shows that you are serious about this platform. Keep sharing your posts as good as training and more people will be interested in them when the time comes. Check out Pj who was in the same position as yourself. He is a true professional at this.

Check out how he produced his posts even before he was allowed to do training.
Cheers

Thank you kindly Darwyn. I'm thankful that you were able to read my true frustration... I'm "busting at the seams to share my knowledge with this community"! That's really all it is... I am just sad because there's just so much to share and so much kindness on this platform that inspires me give more and more. Thx for reminding me of PJ. His story is quite amazing... I need to read it as a refresher!
Follow the rules that we must all follow--they are there for a reason. All will go well when we follow the rules. Just my 2 cents!
Thank you,
Ed
Point taken... Ed... besides... there is no choice, so it is of no matter any longer. Thanks for your 2 cents!!
I am guessing it might have to do with the fact that many people who are new here don't quite have the experience yet to be able to create training and, also, to protect the community from spammers.
Sometimes we do get new experienced people in here who just want to use WA to promote themselves, which is prohibited here and the three month limit prevents them from doing that.
Even after 3 months, excessive posting by someone becomes rather annoying and kind of dilutes your message as many people will not even bother to read them after awhile.
We have very experienced and knowledgeable members here who create perhaps 1 training per month and 1 blog per week.
I believe that imparting your knowledge in moderation will earn you more respect and your information will be better received.
Just my 2 cents, you can take it with however many grains of salt you wish.
Good luck to you here
Very well put and gladly accepted. Makes perfect sense. It would be nice for an explanation, just as you mentioned to me here, to be listed with the restriction notification. After reading your commentary, the reason is clear well understood. There are many HIGHLY talented people in this Network and if not for them... I would not be where I'm at with my sites. Even with my experience with making money online, I have never been able to start a new operation so quickly! I mean... wow... excellent training videos. I have learned so much and my mind is actually blown away at the amount of information that I DO NOT know. I'm very thankful for this program and cannot wait to have my own network of Wealthy Affiliates recruited.
Also, please keep in mind that everything you blog about or the training you create here at WA is indexed in the search engines and, should you also have a personal website about making money online, you would not be able to include what you have written here on your own site or visa versa as that would be duplicate content.
Being that you are fairly new here, I'm not sure if you have seen this yet but it could be a help to you and no, I am not trying to suggest that you plan to be a spammer, it just happens to be the page title :) Spam is a NO NO!
Hi Kingshopper......with the knowledge you have about all of this that the rest of us don't, I can understand your "faunching at the bit" feelings. Just do what you can within the rules and when the time comes, be the source for everyone you know you can be. In the meantime, I'm going to pay attention to how you help others.....I know I will learn much.

I appreciate your advice and I WILL take it. I will just continue to document my interactions with the system... blog as I'm allowed and be a low-key resource between now an then. Thanks to absolutely everyone commenting this story. I appreciate each and every opinion both for and against!
Hi Kingshopper,
I feel the same frustration, however you can post everything in your blog - 1 blog per day. That's what I'm doing, I've posted a twitter marketing strategy in my blog. Hope that helps!
Hmmm... At least I wasn't alone in my thinking.Yes... telling me what you do is helpful. I dinged myself with this post. I did not realize that commenting on the dashboard for help to the community would count as my 1 Blog for the day... what a major bummer.
KrazyKat is right you can submit a blog once a day but you cannot submit and training blogs for your first three months.
Thank you. I see and agree with krazykat that I can ramble in a blog at least once a day. I'm more concerned about training. I have 20 years expertise with online business & eCommerce. It would simply be nice to share the knowledge as it pertains to WA & AM. But thank you for your comment as well!
From what I've seen already you are doling out mad help left and right. Take it easy brother....I definitely want a seat on your rocket ship. I don't know any other platforms that you can do this type of thing at all.
You certainly are a great wealth of knowledge. Keep doing what your doing ....I know I ALWAys am asking questions : )
Ps, the only reason I said take it easy is because you have a ton of experience but, you are new to THIs community. You already had slight mis-info even though the reality didn't bug you any less...it's in place for a reason like krazykat said : )
Anyhoo, you rock Kind King Hopper ; )
Thank you Frye. I didn't really have misinformation. As soon as I went to post another blog... it didn't mention a 1 blog per day restriction... It simply said I was restricted for 3 months even when blogging. I think a simple modification in the body of the message declaring there's a 3 month minimum on Training, but you can post 1 blog per day. Due to the message... I was led to believe I was just stifled for 3 months. Oh well... Moving on. I spoke my peace, so no I bury the hatchet and move on. Thx for the nice words! It's greatly appreciated. I'm curious... how did you know I'm dishing "mad help left and right"? Just wondering if there was some sort of stat to which you were referring.
I will take your advice and "take it easy". I am clearly new to the community although I'm definitely not new to making money on online from home. It's been 2 weeks for me on this awesome platform and my sites are up & running with sales on my AM site and CAN'T WAIT to have recruit WAs to get to Vegas this year!!
I saw you on a few different days dishing out help in live chat and even offering help in PM while you were away : ) I hope I can meet you in person in Vegas! I sit in on chat when I'm doing other tasks just in case there are tidbits of knowledge I'm missing. Even when I'm not talking!
Ha! ya.. sometimes I get carried away and try to help too many people at once and get my messages scrambled... lol. I really love everyone here. If you don't eventually succeed on WA, it can only be because of lack of desire. Motivation moves people to learn more often than not.
I understand...I know next to nothing and was still trying to help people.
And, I am in total agreement with you!
LOL. You're hilarious. Helping people, but claiming you know nothing... haha. Thanks for understanding my point of view! Much appreciated.
My pleasure, the main point was that I need to keep up my advancement so I can serve people better ; )
This is your second blog. Without looking for something to reference, I am quite sure you are limited to one blog per day for the first 3 months. An official training needs to wait until after 3 months. I see nothing wrong with this.
If you post any more than one blog a day, it's too much anyways. People will start overlooking them. Our mailboxes are already full.
That's just my two cents :-)
Cheers!
I'm more concerned with Training than I am a blog. It just happens to be a frustrating poke. I've been doing business online since eBay was born in 1995. I not agree that people will start overlooking them. People selectively read what pertains to them, then what extra that can be done in spare time.. I'm sure that's already the case. No one can possibly read every blog posted. I'm more concerned with Training than I am Blogging.
There can never be too much training. There is much to be desired for highly technical things encountered on WA... for the technically advanced users ready to dive in. I've been on here 2 weeks. I have 2 published sites 1 where I promote WA and AM and a totally separate domain & business capitalizing on my niche. Perhaps I'm expecting more than I should. I'll move on and focus on why WA trained us to do... to monetize a website and recruit. In 3 months, I'll still be helping others down the road to Wealth and Prosperity on WA, but I believe much of what's written 3 months in the past will likely be old news and no longer be applicable.
Thank you for your comment and bring it to my attention that I can leave a Blog everyday. Not that I want to ramble everyday, but it is nice to know that I can should I want to.
I hear you. Many of us newer members aren't as knowledgeable as you are. I will certainly remember you when I need help :-)
Yes, you are probably right that readers will pay more attention to a training than to a blog. Having said that, I suggest that you start blogging your knowledge now while it's fresh and build the trust and respect of your followers until the time comes that you are allowed to do trainings.
I always enjoy a good rant too. Lol.
All the best!
Ha... Now that's funny!! Good idea documenting the work in blog format. The restriction is just a little troubling because I believe I can help many WA Marketers more-so with a Training Module than through tons of individual Private Messaging and an overlooked Blog (PMing is what I've been doing since I became a member... that's why it's troubling... I have to resend the same info to multiple people experiencing that same problem, so a Training Module would be warranted at that point! Thx for your wonderful input.
Ha... Agreed... A good rant is necessary for complete and utter ventilation! lol
I don't see what's the big deal about just writing blogs with the information you wish to share.
Your followers definitely don't overlook your blog. :) Also, sometime I post my blog in live chat so people will be more aware of it.

I appreciate your impatience, however with all the new people who are not as experienced as you are in this field are ver gullible! I hate to admit how much I did not know, and as a result followed a suggestion or two that were just stumbling blocks to my progress. I think that a 3 mo. time to make sure you are interested in the betterment of the community and not just shelf is a reasonable thing. However, I am quick to add I had no skill to share- so I look at this differently!
Thanks, I know you will soon be a valued member of our community.

I do understand that. I made mention that was likely the reason. Then I went on to mention a moderation of comments would be a nice addition.
