Confusion Regarding Blogging Here At WA
Good morning,
I read the rules regarding blogging here on the WA platform. My understanding is to blog about progress, successes, your journey, etc. But many blog about personal areas of their life.
To me, that is what blogging is about. Am I wrong?
Not everyone has success in the beginning. I am one of them. I struggle with writing content although I love to write. Make sense? Not to me.
I love reading all the tips regarding building your business but I also enjoy reading about your everyday life happenings.
Several months ago I read a blog about someone struggling with personal problems in their life. One of the comments was "What does this have to do with WA?" Personally, I thought the comment was rude.
I have not seen another blog from this person and this has bothered me for a while.
We all have struggles and sometimes it helps to talk or "blog" about it. Not everyone has someone to talk to and this is their way of letting go of their feelings,
Encouraging words from the WA community help.
I understand that not everyone wants to read about it. If you don't, that's fine but there is no need for hurtful comments.
Enough said!
On a lighter note, I want to add
Hey Joe, I got the mini cheesecakes done.
I hope you all have a great day!

Writers Write.
To be a better writer write more.
With that in mind and based on my own experiences anyone can write about pretty much anything they wish - and many do.
My thoughts on the offending part is this - some people are going to be offended just because you breathe or I breathe or they breathe themselves.
In other words, you can never please everyone - nor should you ever even try.
If anyone has a problem with what I write it is THEIR problem and it does NOT concern me even the slightest.
Having said that - I do realize most people do not have my "Aligator Skin" ; ) (read my former posts on "Becoming An Alligator" and it makes more sense.
My advice is that if someone is just rude ignore them. If they are abusive report them to WA. Otherwise WRITE, write, and write some more.
I enjoy reading about people's lives (also that IS part of their journey too) and about their pets, hobbies, interests, etc.
Have a great day and make it count my friend!
Best regards,

Very well said, I appreciate Tai pointing me to her blog about writing about different happenings in our lives. I enjoy reading the different perspectives rather it is business or personal related. They are uplifting to me if having a bad day.
Yes, you are right.
Everyone should encourage to blog about their life experiences, encounters, joy and suffering.
By doing the blogging here, it helps them to write better and becoming more fluent in communicating their ideas with others.
Do give them your encouragement.
If you do not find anything meaningful to you, just ignore the article and read other post.
Yes, agree when I blog here on the Wealthy Platform it does help me to become a better writer.
There is no need for anyone to be rude on this platform. We are all on a journey. Some of are successful quickly and some aren't. If we can help someone then I feel we should. Great Post. I may have to grab some of the mini cheesecakes on the way out.

Hi Jerry, thank you for your reply. Help yourself to the cheesecakes.
I hope I didn't open a can of worms. The comment in my opinion was rude. Others may not have thought so.

Thanks for haring your thoughts and concerns here.
This is such a large community. Kyle and Carson must be challenged in monitoring how the rules "play out".
I do believe there are polite ways for people to express opinions to another person. Hopefully we can be the community to help each other.
Your mini cheese cake looks mighty good!
Hello, Thank you so much for your reply. I don't know why the comment to the blog I referred to bothered me so much. No, the blog had nothing to do with WA and was very personal and you could tell by her words that she was suffering and looking for comfort/encouragement.
I still believe if you can't say something nice than don't say anything at all.

Hi All,
My understanding is that anything you blog about on WA is eventually indexed by Google anyway. As WA is an Authority site, it will mean your content, no matter what it is about, will hopefully rank reasonably depending on the content, SEO etc etc.
It also means that, should a reader of your Post decide to click on a WA link around your post and they decide to subscribe to WA then you will gain a referral. Each Post you do has you Wealthy Affiliate ID attached to it.
Use W.A posts and if your content is read then you "may" benefit in more ways than one!
So yes, write what you want, don't worry what others say, if they don't like what you write then they don't have to read what you post.
You pay a subscription to WA and as long as you are following the WA guidelines then you write those posts! :-)
People that write unhelpful comments on Posts have nothing better to do! Think about it, how successful are they when they have time to make these unwanted comments? They certainly don't do themselves any favours.
Good luck! :-)
