I Will No Longer Be Writing Updates on the Training I Received Here

I spent over an hour writing an update on Gogetters Training that I received here.

And guess what???!!!

After that, I get a message saying that the content that I have created is found similar to others. Duh! Of course it would be similar! It is an update where I would write points of the training and share with others here.

Over An Hour!!!

I could have used the time to write a blog post for my website!

So, no more! I will not waste my time blogging here at WA.

No more sharing! That seems to be the message WA is giving me!

PLUS the tools to write a blog post here is terrible! So many problems - Unable to set Headers (which I have sent help to Support but never received), Formatting keeps centralizing my content, plus many more issues.

Waste of Time!

Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!

WA has stamped the Google read brand on everything posted on the web. So yes it's going to show up as not unique!

I understand that with over 500,000 members, not everyone's experience will always be perfect. I'm sorry to hear about your frustrations, Timotheus.

I just experienced that dreaded "your content is not unique" just yesterday. Granted, my post was short, but it was still annoying. It took me a few minutes to revise it until I got the OK, but it was still annoying. I can only imagine theanger you felt after spending an hour on training!

All the best to you, Timotheus.

Thanks Veronica.
Sorry to hear you encountered the same issue.
That is why I guess the safest way is to just do simple blog posts. So far so good. :)

Oh wow. This is so sad and discouraging. My experience here at WA has been amazing. I'm sorry for your loss.
All the best,
Wendi

Thanks Wendi. Please do not be discouraged.
It is just how it is.
I adapt by deciding to write simple blog posts. Just no more training updates because it seems the system is saying it is duplicate. So why waste my time on that?

Uuch, that' s unfair my friend and I understand that.
However, may you take your DECISION but not in haste.

We all appreciate you're in the TOP 100 and take pride in what you are!

Reconsider life's journey that comes being clad in joys and sorrows
May you find the brighter light.

Cheers!.

It's not in haste, my friend.
This has happened so many times.
First it was the header issue, then the out of screen issue, and now this.

I will just stick to simple blog posts here since the interface is so difficult to work with.

OK great.
Why not send a direct PM to Kyle or the Technical Support?

I've received that same response before Tim but I noticed that if i paraphrase using my own words it works pretty well. May be you could try to use different wording and see how it goes.

I suppose I could. Thanks.
But what if the same happens again?
It is a waste of time.
I'll stick to simple blog posts here at WA from now on.

The few times I have gotten that a little editing fixed the problem. Only an hour? Takes me a lot longer than a hour.

I type fast. haha

Sorry to hear about your frustration, Timotheus. Do you feel better after your rant? That's one of the functions of the community...we can get things that are bugging us off our chests, and receive support when we need it from other members of the community. Carol

not really, Carol.
the issue still exists.
and all I can do is adapt by deciding to only post simple blogs posts here.
that is not good for the community right?
after all, kyle said to post 3 post here per week.
i try to post quality content.
and end up having my time wasted.

nevertheless, you are right, carol
this is one of the functions here - the community to listen when we have some problem or issue
and yes, preferably get some support

problem is - i have been having problems posting here.
first, it was the headers not working; i.e. when i choose text to be header, the entire blog post becomes the header format. sheesh
now, this.
so enough is enough.
i cannot waste time blogging here at WA.
especially writing quality content
so i'll just stick to simple posts from now on
i know simple posts - this interface can handle

In reading all the responses on your blog, I detect that you seem to be really stressed about getting 3 posts per week written. Please forgive me for assuming that if I misinterpreted what you wrote.

The bad thing about written communication is that we don't have the extra help of the nonverbals, such as facial expression and tone of voice, and miss subtle nuances because of it sometimes.

I did not choose to participate in any of the new groups that formed because I am not ready to deal with that kind of pressure, nor do I want to. I plug along at my own pace and don't worry about what anyone else thinks about it.

The Type A part of my personality would like it to be faster, but I have too many shiny objects in my non-WA life that have to be dealt with before I can focus solely on this. But that's my problem, nobody else's. We all have our own issues and goals. We get support and encouragement from each other, but nobody can really make us do anything we don't want to do here. We're all individuals, and, more importantly, WE're in control!

I'm sorry that your experience here has been so frustrating, and hate to see you miss out on the support offered by the community, but you have to make the decisions that feel right for you. No one else walks a mile in your shoes.

I did have a problem once with getting that automated message that my post couldn't be published. I don't remember exactly what the issue was, but tweaked it a bit, and then it went right through.

One time I wanted to share some motivational info from Steve Jobs, and it wouldn't let me, but I think I was too new then to know how to get around the platform thinking it was plagarism. Now I realize I could have just written a short intro about why I wanted to share it, and then added the link to the post.

I am amazed that you can research, find images, and complete a post in an hour. It usually takes me at least 2 or 3. Even the short one I wrote last night took me several hours, and I didn't have to do any research for that one. I was being picky about finding the right images, and that took up a lot of my time. But I didn't get upset about it because I was enjoying the journey.

I know you are very time conscious and pressed for time, so won't keep you any longer.

Best wishes.

Carol

Thank you

You're very welcome, my friend. Hope things get better for you. Carol

Sorry to hear that, and I will miss your summaries!

Thanks Harizan. :)

I will still blog here. But it will be simple stuff. Just don't wanna waste time.

Was that an automated message you received at the end of writing your content Tim after you clicked "Publish?" If you revise or paraphrase some of the words and sentences around, and click Publish again, it should work.

yes, an automated message.

i really cannot waste any more time to edit.

i have already spent more than an hour - to write, search for images, manage the crazy interface that keeps changing my text to be centralized and refuse to let me set titles as headers; e.g. even Header 1!

Kyle tells us to write at least 3 blog posts per week at WA. But really, he needs to get his team to tidy up the UI/UX of the blog post tool before that.

This is also one of the reasons why I never host my websites on WA. The interface really needs to improve.

On the web hosting service that I am using, everything is so smooth and easy to use.

Lately, I had actually thought of moving one of my websites to WA. Just to try the web hosting service here. And if it is really good and better than the one I am using, will move all my websites here.

But after this, no thanks. I will stick to the web hosting service. It has great UI/UX, great support (live chat access to support staff and they are really excellent), etc.

Could have been just the title. I had that today. Changed the title and went right through.

Sorry you have issues with the interface. I host all my sites here and love it. I had an awful experience with a clients WP hosting service and ended up moving his hosting to WA. I had to log in to several sections sometimes before I could do what I needed. I hate to have to keep multiple logins for one website. It is so confusing.

Oh I see. Good for you

I am experiencing the opposite. Bad interface here. I will now just do simple blogs because that is what the interface can handle.

And for me, I recommend the other web hosting service to all my clients. So far, no problems. In fact, all of my clients love the superb service there. 24/7 live chat support that always end issues resolved quickly.
