Embrace Criticism

After completing a WA training module on how to create a header for your blog or site I added some comment to the comment section associated with this training module.

I asked the WA community members to check out my new header and give me some feedback. A certain member accepted my offer and reported back.

I was certain I was going to hear back from these members and be praised for a wonderful job I had done. One of the 7 deadly sins Jay talks about was appearing in my business.

I was a little taken back by his findings. It seems that my website I was so proud of and thought was the best out there needed some proofreading.

My initial thought was, who is he and my site is just fine. After some thought I came to the understanding that my job as a professional online marketer was to provide the best experience for my readers.

So, I swallowed my pride and revisited my site for a proof-reading test. I was really shocked at what I discovered.

This WA member was right, my site needed some proof-reading corrections done to it.

Spelling, grammar and more.

The point I am trying to make is to accept and embrace criticism and use as a positive tool to help us become better online marketers.

We also need to be visiting our sites often, to perform quality testing.

I thank this WA member for his willingness to help and show me that I can become a better website builder if I only open my mind to new ideals and suggestions.

To your WA success,

Gerald Stidham
