Your Rank as a Feedback Mechanism
Many times, we do things just to do things. We don't measure what we are doing. And without measuring, you can't improve.
Your rank here is a great thing you can use as a measuring stick. It's your ability to show up on the platform relative to everyone else. What does that mean, if someone overtakes your rank, then someone else is doing more than you, so you need to go comment on posts, watch trainings and basically interact within the platform. If you overtake someone else, that person is probably slacking or not keep their eye on the ball.
The name of the game is who is gonna be the last person standing. Majority of the people quit.
Success for you can be... being in the top 25... that's showing up. Even if it ain't $$$ it's gonna set off what you need in your mind.
Showing up and getting that validation that you are... is a powerful thing.
Do this with everything you do, not only here but in life.
Come take my spot, I dare you!
If you are gonna take this challenge, let me know and it's fair game! Don't be trying to snipe me, I got my eye on people encroaching my space.
LET'S GO!

Good morning Robert,
I think for many of us the ranking system is kind of a bit of fun; however, it should not be our priority. Ranking should come naturally, just from going through the training and participating on the platform. If we start looking at how high we are going to rank, that's taking our mind off our real goals and that's not good.
I have seen people rank highly on the platform and yet they have never made a penny online; what's the point of that? Our priority should be to focus on building our online business and then the ranking will come naturally.
Also, using AI to reply to other member's comments to increase your rank is a definite no-no. If someone's going to comment, we need to give them a genuine human reply.
Have a great day.

I totally agree with Roy! Our ranking here in WA is not a race for a special price! The only special goal we need to focus on is building - and growing - our business!
The bottom line for this was showing up for yourself whatever it is. If that is what is needed to get someone to do the action required to continue learning on the platform, I'd say it's good. Honestly, If I didn't make this my priority, I really wouldn't be here talking to anyone, engaging with people, reading other peoples articles and learning new things, learning peoples stories, expressing gratitude. To each their own, you must walk your own path. And yes I strongly feel the same way with your last few words. Enjoy your Friday brother! Robert
yes it is true that working online could be a solitary job. What I guess we all are agreeing is that - having an high rank in WA - does not mean you are a successful entrepreneur. Surely, it means that you show up everyday for yourself tho.
That's so true, Suomii. I think it's important that we are here for the right reasons and that is to learn and grow their business. Ranking will come naturally as we learn and leave comments, etc.
Have a great weekend.

I hear you, Robert, it's definitely good to show up on the platform, big time! I must admit, going on the platform first thing in the morning is almost like a warmup to get me started!
I guess the reason I feel quite strongly about the subject is that I have seen past members focus on ranking and that won't get any of us anywhere. We need to focus on learning and responding to comments that we can relate to, which will then make us rank naturally.
Have a fantastic weekend and thank you for your post.

I love the idea of measuring your actions to improve. At the beginning of my WA journey, my rank was pretty high (about 50) then it started decreasing because I needed to focus on my business with direct actions which took a lot of time.
Now, I guess I am finding my balance, coming here when I have 5 or 10 mins free, watching a training or reading some interesting post.
I am not in the helper mode, I know. And it is ok for now.
Surely with time, I will give back what I received from the community, again :)
Ciao Steve! My site has reached the first page on Google on 4th position (after Amazon!!!) for my main keyword. I should tell you that I did not care about it in the last 2 months because I needed to implement other things for my art business, but with my great surprise Google has ranked it extremely well and it is generating sales even without me updating it!
So what we learn here at WA is pure gold about ranking well! :)
WOW! That’s fantastica! I’m so happy for you and it’s such an inspiration to the rest of us here. Your site looks clean, easy to navigate, and gets to the point of selling. I really like the language translation box that pops down from the top! That was such a great idea. Congratulazioni!!
Thank you so much!! I checked the websites of my competitors, those who reached the first page on Google and simply replicated the same website structure for not getting so crazy in structuring it! :)
Lately, I’m thinking of restructuring my sites. Right now, the weight loss site is just a collection of blog posts and I’m fighting to rank against sites with high DA.
Same with my guitar site, I’m going up against big guitar stores, including Amazon(cause they sell everything). Okay to PM you Romy?
I reached Ambassador, but I realised that wasn't really important. I was putting in a lot of time here, but knew I'd not be here as much at the end of 2024. My Ambassador status lapsed, but it didn't matter. My focus at this time is mainly elsewhere, on other areas of business and life.
I still visit daily, and chip in when I can, but feeding the algorithm isn't that important for me atm (current rank about 50). I know what it takes to get there, but it's not the only metric we should measure ourselves against.

It’s all part of the journey. You'll learn what is important to you and what isn't. What you like and what you don't. How many people are aimlessly wondering what they are even doing here. You've been through the process and maybe didn't find any value there, but others may. Just by showing up, they might see an article they saw that was on their dashboard from someone that would have given them what they needed to see in that moment. I wouldn't discount this an exercise that is a waste of time. It's an accomplishment and then on to the next, but at least you have this as a talking point, a validation, and hopefully you learn a lot of cool things on the way.
I just now and then make a comment if I feel I know the answer. Otherwise, rank here really makes no difference to my business. I concentrate on my website and am not interested in making a comment everyday or even every week.
But, I do commend the people who do as I do learn a lot from them.

Robert,
I am here every day, my 2 hours per day is a mandatory contract with myself. This has me chasing my dream of mastering niche blogging. There is so much to learn and do, I know my limited 2 hours have me behind the power curve.
I have a great niche and traffic, but I am not a master - YET! But I am a master of what I know! So I continue to check in. Every step forward is progress.
This consistency is the Ambassador status that I hold. It is a byproduct of what I am pursuing. I am not pursuing the rank, I am pursuing knowledge.
I learn something new, I write a blog post to my audience, and I convert that to a WA post. The majority of people here are new and want to learn something, anything that leads to making money online is a help.
In a tortoise and hare analogy, I am the tortoise.

Now this is what I'm talking about ❤️ I could feel the energy as I read it. Have a wonderful evening! Robert
Robert,
Thanks. Niche blogging is all about keeping it authentic. When a person finds my blog, they will find the same energy.
You Do You is the philosophy that I follow, The Amazing Niche Master creates profitable niches from the obscure. I will eliminate The Gray Apocalypse one blog at a time.
Powerful ideas for passive income.
The commercial is over. Back to your regularly scheduled FriSatSun. Enjoy!

My actions are tortoise but my brain is Hare. Lol
If I can only level them out….then I might be more productive.
…..work in progress…
That makes two of us! My late-night thoughts get scattered when my tortoise self gets moving!
