WP WA Confirmation
Sometime last week I signed up for a WordPress Word Camp that was scheduled this weekend in my area. I decided to sit in on the beginner sessions to make sure I wasn't bypassing any additional knowledge I may need going forward. A mentor once taught me "I didn't know what I didn't know". I felt this may be a good way to find out if I was missing anything.
The sessions were helpful and informative, but overall the biggest thing I came away with was confirmation. I consider myself a beginner in this venture, so I was very pleased to know answers to some of the questions being asked. I was able to learn and help at the same time (sound familiar?). I was able to help because of the knowledge I gained here so far. The things I learned are things I haven't yet asked here, or searched for here.
Back to the confirmation - I received confirmation that the training here is quick and thorough. So is the support, and the access to additional knowledge. This is done with minimal expense, and more conveniently, done on my schedule. I consider that to be very positive.

I disagree that the training is quick. But it is through. You can get the same training in some places for free on the internet but you lose the collection of beginners dying to help you. Kyle takes advantage of the psychological need for people to feel good about themselves and turns it into a business. Remember if you hear the same questions over and over again you will soon be able to answer them without any study at all.
Next week I will be preparing for surgery but I have people lined up to maintain my wealthy affiliate presence. There is very little that I can learn from wealthy affiliate anymore because I am will beyond that stage of knowledge. I am more into building business than creating a website. I do try to be helpful. You rarely ever see me post a BS blog with a picture and a couple of lines of text just to maintain my ranking. Because I don't care about ranking.
At least you have something to compare it to rather than just voicing an opinion about something that you know little about. Kudos to you for that.
Thank you for your comment. I based my determination of "quick" on the amount of knowledge I have compared to people who have been working on their sites a year or more. I have only been here 3 months and work 55-60 hours a week on my regular job. WA jump started me past some of the more confusing startup questions such as the .com vs .org formats in WordPress without me having to spend a lot of time on research before making that decision. WA is also giving me direction through the maize of information, directing focus on things that matter, in an order they really matter.
Congratulations on getting past needing this knowledge. As for me, I am still "soaking it up".
Thank you again - Bert
Nice going Bert, it feels empowering when you learn something here and are able to help people somewhere else with the knowledge you've gained. It certainly does for me!
