Only Give Solid Advice!

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Here within WA community there is a wonderful attitude prevalent wherein people enjoy helping each other out. It is hands-down the most helpful online business community I've ever been fortunate enough to be a part of.

But - and this is something I had to learn the hard way - be careful that if you are "helping" someone solve a problem or understanding something, whatever ... make sure you are giving solid, 100% correct and cogent advice!

You can hurt rather than help, albeit with good intentions, if you "solve" someone's problem with erroneous or faulted information. If you want to help, but you are not 100% positive that you really have the correct answer or information, it is better to advise the person asking for help to search for related blogs, tutorials and trainings in the query bar at the top of the page.

Ready to put this into action?

Here at WA we have a wealth of helpful blogs, tutorials and trainings archived, so again if you are not sure, be of help by sending someone where they can get the for sure answers they need.

Okay, stepping down off my soapbox now, LOL

Peace, Love, Vegetables and Prosperity to All
