What do you really want?
What do you really want?
If your answer is financial freedom then I say that's too broad of an answer. Like a good niche, this answer has to be somewhat more focused. Personally, I have the not so greedy wish to stop working for others. I want that all of my efforts are solely for the benefit of my children and myself, seems fair, right? If however, I feel that I want to share the fruits of my hard work, this decision should be up to me, because I wish it and not because I'm without choice.
I want to be able to travel, yet have the flexibility that if I have access to an internet connection, a laptop and the wiliness to think and write, I can still earn a living. The truth of the matter is that you can't escape yourself and why would you want to? Your ideas and opinions are with you wherever you go, why should you not capitalize on these most precious of commodities? If you are at home, Panera Bread or Hong Kong, you remain in the office of your mind, the product you peddle is your view, and there is no one that can do that but you.
Here is where it gets tricky, no one can be its own editor, it is extremely hard to find one's own writing mistakes. I propose that we create subgroups, and this has to be distinctly clear; within Wealthy Affiliate, to edit each other's work, groups of 10 to 15 members, to read and comment on proposed posts. Emphasis on spelling, grammar and word usage, but not so much about style, because style is exactly what we are selling, our unique voices.
If we could manage to create this subsection within the walls of Wealthy Affiliate, it would bring the value of the site to new levels, no other site in marketing that I know of offers anything remotely similar to this, and boy would it be a huge selling point. At Wealthy Affiliate we also correct your grammar and spelling which would make you a better communicator, because nothing sells better than a well written thought.
What do you guys think?

I think it's a nice idea but unworkable - simply because you are unlikely to have people who could commit to that amount of time - and be in no doubt - it would take a lot of time.
I already give extensive reviews on people's sites but I do it as and when I want to. I would never agree to doing it under any semi-formal framework . Besides outside of WA - people pay me to do it.

I have seen some doosies here at WA, sentences sure to give Shakespeare a bad case of indigestion (if he were still around). Writing that would give most readers a bad case of whiplash. Perhaps you are right, it just may be unworkable. Too bad, though, many would certainly benefit from a little guidance, including myself.
You could always post it here too: https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/getting-started/please-give-me-feedback-on-my-website and ask others for feedback on your grammar.

Hope this helps.

I think that is a great idea and noble goal! Maybe you could contact a few people with whom you have been associating and create your own little "group" within WA. That way it would not be "formal" but would be friends helping friends. You could always just create a discussion as well.
Very cool, exactly what I was thinking. A small group of like minded individuals.
