What does a 'like' mean at Wealthy Affiliate?

I now receive many emails per day regarding member contributions within Wealthy Affiliate. It takes some time to go through these emails.

Initially, I found myself putting a 'like' on almost every email notification. A 'like' was a fast and easy way to acknowledge the effort of others in taking time to post a blog or question. My 'likes' meant I appreciated and/or agreed with the members contribution.

As time has gone on, I have become a bit more selective about extending 'likes' on member contributions. It's not that I don't appreciate everyone taking the time to share, but with all of our time limitations, some contributions are more valuable than others.

So now I put 'likes' on questions or replies that I find interesting and useful. My 'like' signifies that the specific post or question is the type I would like to see in the future.

This means that I will often NOT put a 'like' on longer posts or those that are purely motivational. I usually agree with the motivational posts, but prefer posts that address the 'how-to's' of affiliate marketing.

One exception is that I receive notifications of posts from a specific member that are motivational and ALWAYS one short paragraph in length. These posts are thought-provoking and to the point.

So for me, a 'LIKE' on a Wealthy Affiliate post means I would just like to see more like it.

Straight to the point...'love it...

...sounds right...I "like" it...lol...

You are absolutely right and 'like' can be very time-consuming.

I have always klicked like, and added a comment if it's something I actually do like. Sometimes I will just like without a comment, depends on the post and time.

You can "like" a post for many different reasons: you relate to it, get motivated from it, are educated by it, are moved by it, etc.

Above all, for me a "like" shows that I respect the post. .

If I read a post I acknowledge it by giving a like, if it really grabs my attention then like here i'll leave a comment.

For me it is that SMILE that Tw1 referred to in his post It is a way of extending a positive wish, or a "High 5" to the person who is sharing their experience in their journey here at WA.

Means that I can relate to the post message!

To "like" or not to "like, that is the question...If I find something interesting - regardless of whether it's motivational, training, somethinging funny or other - I'll "like". If it really captures my attention, I'll leave a comment.

Important question. For me it is the acknowledgement that I read the post and related to it in some way. Due to the sheer volume, I no longer comment unless it's to congratulate someone for their achievement or if my comment adds something new to the conversation to benefit all. If I can't I just "like" which is my way of saying thanks. I'll be interested to hear what other people expect. Debbie
