Don't ever give up and never surrender!

I try to go by the title of this blog, but something just happened when I was trying to post comments so I could get some feedback on my website. I got banned from giving comments to other websites. This makes me feel like giving up on WA, I was trying to give my honest feedback or knowledge of the topic.


What did I do wrong?

How is your honest opinion ever be counted as spam, this troubled me more than the sale's job I recently had for a short time. The position was selling credit and debit card machines and the service that goes along with the machines. It was a contract position in which I went to businesses that they had supposed to have called and the business was supposed to know that I was coming. In fact the business had not even heard of the company that I was working for and didn't even know I was coming. Most of information was wrong about who I was supposed to be talking with and instead of going to meet someone that knew I was coming to see, it was a cold call. This company reminds me of WA when it comes to giving comments on websites when I was on a good pace of making ten comments in 24 hours to get a day of comments. I was prohibited from making any more comments on other websites. Said my comments were spam or not related to the website and for some reason it posted two different comments for the same website. Which I do two posts for the website, but only after my comment disappeared and I redone the post again. It never appeared on the waiting on approval list, until I went to see if they were approved or not.


I finally found something I don't understand on WA.

Everything I have been through here on WA has been great, until now and I don't understand the reason that this happened. This is what made think about quitting. I have gone from 22,000 to 2600 in my rankings on WA, and now I am a spammer. I need someone to tell me why this happened. I guess I should have known better than to write anything while I was mad.


Why I say don't ever give up and never surrender!

After I threw my fit and said what I needed to say I remember why I have stayed for four months, still have not made any money. I remembered how much I have learned, the support I have received and the encouragement it have gotten, I know why I have stayed. I am closer than ever to start making money and it is all because of my association with Wealthy Affiliate and all it's members. Everyone here has one wish here at WA is to hear that one of it's members has made their first money, maybe one other wish is hear that our first money here. Lol. The training is easy to follow and understand, one thing I have to do before I can truly learn is to understand it. I guess that is why it took me four times, taking Algebra II to pass the class. After that I flunked out of the first school I attended, but in my defense I passed it at my next college with a B +. I had the same instructor for the three times I failed Algebra II, was it my instructor or was it me, that I don't understand. " Don't ever give up or never surrender! "


Let's talk about the training.

I have watched about as many hours of webinars and videos online as WA has in training and none of it got me as far as WA has. I have watched about five hours of videos on WA, compared to the hundreds of hours I watched trying to find WA. I know some of stuff already from college and it is just four years ago I received my degree in web and graphic design. I was 56 when I started college and 60 when I finished, I am 63 now. "Don't ever give up and never surrender ". So some of the videos I didn't pay attention to because I still remembered from college. Most videos and webinars are just to sell you something, but here at WA it is a learning experience. If you are to a point where you need to install something like Images or add social media likes and shares, you can skip to that training. The training is set up for you to be able to add any type of block, because you can move ahead to get that training learned and installed, that part of the training you can mark off as complete. This is important because the faster you get your website looking professional, the more bells and whistles you add, the faster you get traffic and sales.


Support, the best support online.

I have never met a group of strangers, that are so involved in helping any member learn how to make money online. It just amazes me how people that have just met and willing to take the time to give answers to questions about something they don't understand. I am so glad I found this group of family members in one place that you are so willing to help with anything that they are having trouble with. I have learned as much from reading posts that y'all have made than I have learned on all the webinars that I have watched in nine years. Thanks to all my WA family for the support and encouragement that I have received from my new family's support.


I about forgot why I am here.

I got to say this first, I am sorry about the fit I threw at the start of my post. When I don't understand what I did wrong and like Forrest Gump that is all I have to say about that and life is like the box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get. I forgot why I am here, not to write feedback on websites it is to learn. I liked writing comments on people's websites and before this I had a 87'% approval rate. I am here to learn how to make money online and if I can't write comments, gives me more time to learn. I love the training and support here at WA. I forgot the most important thing is "Don't ever give up and never surrender ". I hope I have been engaged entertaining if nothing else.

Some people are egotrippers
If it does not fit their bill,
you are done

Never mind
It is not you
It is them

Do not bother
Just focus on the training

❤️


PS
I like your comments
Very original

HI David,
The relatively new Site Comments program some be a stress factor with members. I personally have stayed away from Site Comments mainly because I don't don't know what to say on website comments.

I have seen tutorials on what to write on a comment on a website article. It seems whatever you write is never right. So I don't.

Your attitude is right on even though you went through a rough patch. Never give up. Failure is only when you give up.

May you move into smoother waters in the days ahead.

Bill

It may be that Dallas star on your profile pic. lol Stuff happens with the feedback/comments thing.
Susan got you covered below.
Got a feeling my vikings are gonna get the playoff spot and play at Dallas in 2 weeks.
Be like back when we were growing up in the 70's.
I miss Dandy Don, Howard COSSELL, and Frank.

70's rock and so will we in 2019!
Merry Christmas

Mark

I have been a Dallas fan since the late 60s and still listen to 70s rock and roll. I hope to meet you in Vegas next year until then we will just have to help one another with what we can. I am the last one of my family left in this world, but I have found a new family here at WA. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I have liked Minnesota also, back when Fran Tarenton (hillbilly spelling ) played for Minnesota. Hope you have a wonderful day see ya later.

Last of the Thompsons here on this big blue marble myself. Mom and Dad born in 1921 and 1905, so they are long gone. Gives me absolute freedom to do whatever, whenever, and with whomever I choose. I chose to move to Ukraine and be with the sweetest girl I ever met ( 4 years now) and WA fits nicely into my plans.

First 10 beers on me in Vegas!

Look forward to networking with you in 2019.

Mark

Next ten beers are on me, I know some Ukrainians here in Asheville North Carolina. They are a good people, I like them a lot. I just stay here in America, maybe someday I will come for a visit.

Check out numbeo.com and do a comparison between Ashville with Kyiv, Kharkiv, or Lyiv. You may change your mind. Or Sumy!

Mark

I do know that Kyvi is a sister city to Asheville North Carolina . You ever been to North Carolina?

David,
Sounds like you did the same as most people giving comments
on website posts - not exactly your fault if you are not sure what you are doing right so here is a training that I created because when I was new to WA I did the exact same thing - the only good
thing then was someone was kind enough to explain the
difference to me. If this helps you please leave a comment and give it a like,
Thanks, Susan and hope it helps you.

Could have gotten banned from comments because I accidently posted twice on the same site, in am doing my comments on my dumb smart phone and it is not a good phone. Let me know if that could be the reason why I was banned. Thanks for your support and encouragement.

Hey David,
Thanks for sharing. You are correct, we must always be willing to push through.

Tried and True

Elaine

Yo, I failed 9th grade twice, 10th grade once, then dropped out of high-school haha
Also, I haven't passed a math class since the 3rd grade!
So I feel ya there...
But hey, you stuck with it and kept going!
That is what's important.
Cool post man, it was engaging and entertaining!

Hi David just stick with it you will learn and be a success my motto is a failure is not an option.

Just checking that you were giving comments in the site comment section and not feedback? It is an easy mistake to make, I did it myself.

Comments allow the owner to approve them for publishing on their site, so obviously feedback about layout, picture size or spelling etc are not helpful as site comments.
