Thanks WA & Need Help With a Question
Published on April 7, 2016
Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
I have a question, but wanted to say a few things about WA to give my question a little background.
Wealthy Affiliate being described as “The Open Education Project” is so well-earned. As you know, we learn and develop expertise through Kyle’s courses, reading member tutorials, and sharing what we’ve learned through our WA blogs.
This set-up is so beneficial to us members because by "doing" and "teaching" we are solidifying our learning. And, with time and enough practice, these skills become second nature.
What I’ve also come to realize is the benefit of the not-so-obvious ways we’re learning.
All Those Emails:
This is what it must feel like when you have a successful online presence. My copious daily WA mail teaches me what kind of inboxes these folks wake up to everyday.

Having a Following:
We all know that creating regular content for our sites is needed before getting ranked and being blessed with that first organic visitor. This might take a couple months. But, post a WA blog and you can expect some feedback soon after publishing. How great is that!
This feedback gives us a chance to experience, from almost day one of joining WA, how it feels like to write online and get feedback. It also gives us a chance to find our personal way of replying to our “blog” visitors.

Writing:
Now we're getting to my question. I used to write quite a bit when I was growing up. But, when I started working and having a family, there wasn't time. Fortunately, I once again am finding the time. Happy sigh. 😥
And I get to develop my skills in the helpful and safe setting of WA. Happy sigh. 😥
But, like any skill that hasn’t been practiced for a while, it takes effort to whip it back into shape. That's a given.
The bigger issue for me now is just sharing. Since creative writing was originally just for myself, trying to share with anyone today has been tough. For me (others?) it's like public speaking. And, pressing “Publish” is just like walking up to a podium.

So, my rusty and “performance anxiety” riddled self revises a lot. I want my work to present itself in a certain way. Imagine having your first formal holiday dinner party. You want everything to be just right because you want to make a good impression. So, sometimes chairs are rearranged. Or one set of glasses is chosen over another. Or…
Does that make sense?
The Question:
Yesterday, I had a thought. Maybe people are getting multiple copies of my WA blogs because I revise after publishing.
How mortifying for me!!!
How annoying for you!!!

So, here’s my question. If I publish a blog and it gets sent out to you, does it get sent out again if I make a revision and press “Publish” again?
Also, if you have any other pearls of wisdom, feel free to share. Like everyone, just learning as I’m going.
Thanks!
