Hi Kyle:
I'm enjoying these sessions with you and look forward to them. It's good to stop and learn as you share these valuable updates and other information with the community.
Everyday I'm grateful that I trusted to join Wealthy Affiliate in my search for doing what I'm passionate about and reaching toward being a fulltime entrepreneur and writer.
We have the tools at our fingertips to leverage the latest technology rollouts and to realize we can achieve what we want to with the right attitude and dedication.
Thank you for making all this available to us.

We are grateful to have amazing folks like yourself as part of the community and the family here at WA Veron.
We have everything you need to create and grow successful businesses online here within WA, but we always see a way to do things better, or to introduce new technology/training to further streamline this process. Expect a lot of awesome stuff coming your way! :)
Good morning Kyle,
Thank you for your weekly update; it's appreciated.
Go live and thrive sounds good! I guess there is lots of testing with landing type pages to try and find out what works best!
The hosting speed and security upgrades sound good, Kyle. I don't understand all the terminology, but I'm learning. Even going back a few years, your hosting seemed quite good, I had to go for a dedicated server in the end as I was using a Datafeed on a few of my websites, which is quite server heavy.
I really like the idea of being able to schedule content on Wealthy Affiliate, that sounds like a great idea. I will often avoid writing a blog post as I feel I have to or it is decent manners to reply to members' comments. With the scheduling feature, this could be very helpful.
I wish you a fantastic weekend. Enjoy your IPA.

PS: Have you been able to try any of the traditional English ales, Kyle? I don't know if any of the English beers are available in Canada.
Glad you like the updates, and yes, I have tried many of the English ales and I like some of them for sure. I don't mind an Irish stout once in awhile either.
I think the updates help to keep everyone up-to-date with what's happening on the platform, Kyle, which has to be a good thing.
I'm glad you have tried English ale; there are some really nice and unique English beers! My favourite is Abbott Ale, which is brewed by Greene King, which is just up the road in Sunny Suffolk!
A very happy Sunday to you.

"Beer with Fridays"? How many did you have before recording? 🤣🍻 I love me some IPA's! Sounds like a lot of great stuff coming this year. I'm really glad I decided to jump back in when I did. I've been having great fun so far!
Haha, it would present itself as though it wasn't my first lol, but it was. Dale and a few others noticed that right away as well. And yes, can't beat a good IPA...Friday afternoons when I record these it can sometimes bit a bit early in a day (to be productive afterwards) however!
Hi Kyle, that is awesome. I am happy about the scheduling posts. That will undoubtedly give us more time to be involved in the community and then be able to stay focused on building our website in the hubs, too.
I am looking forward to scheduling the WA blog post. That's a feature that I have been wanting, too. Cool.
AI Author still shells out repetitive stuff. The only thing I have issues with is the credits. If I put 5 or 6 sections, it takes a lot of credit out, and if I run out of credits fast- I have to wait a whole month for another 15k. so putting four sections isn't enough.
I can't afford to spend money every month to get more credits. I want to be able to post every day, but there are gaps in my posts because I'm waiting for AI Author credits to be renewed. It costs almost 1500 for five or six sections.
I ran out of credits fast using just five sections. That gives me only about six posts; that's it- that bothers me. Other members report using less than five sections and then filling out the rest themselves. AI Authors are too long. Hence the massive deduction in credits. I spend hours trying to edit and condense it to make it simple writing, so Im just frustrated as a user of how to make it work. I avoid using conversational because it is too repetitive and says the same thing repeatedly. At the same time, Copyblogger is less and more professional, which I like, but the credits and the excessive credit deductions bother me! Not happy about it.
It might just be me, but if I use the AI AUthor, I take the outline and then work in ChatGPT to help me flesh it out. Then I go back and put in my voice, add images, and make it my own. I am more comfortable in ChatGPT and have the instructions set and it writes more to my tone than I could get with either of the AI Authors, so it is efficient for me anyway.
Yeah, makes sense. We do have some hard limits at the moment, not to say they won't be increased as time goes on and as we add new features into the AI author.
You are going to find this platform continues to evolve, and offers more and more features that remove the need to do "any extra work"...so that is going to be a focus.
And if you have any specific examples of anything you are seeing that is "repetitive" (which is the nature of AI, it loves to do that within an output), we can investigate and handle for this within our complex prompts and training to aim to remove those particular use cases.
Again, appreciate your feedback as always. ;)

Hi Kyle,
Thanks for the updates. March has been so busy with the publication of my spiritual poetry books as an author, The London Book Fair, Mothers Day, International Mother's Day, more hours at work, worship and choir rehearsals, 2 funerals and networking....just to mention a few.
Brilliant updates, especially the affiliate marketing and the scheduling of the blogs!
Cheers with the beers!!!
Thanks again :-)
Awesome, sounds like you have been super busy Adedayo, that is great. And as always, we have a lot going on and a lot to look forward to! :)
