well.... this is the scariest part of this entire, overwhelming process. I am not a writer - although I expect that over time I will figure this out and get better with practice. but suddenly I feel like I am in art school again and at the worst part of class.....critique. I hated it then and I have knots in my stomach now. funny, putting it online seemed easy, my picture is not on the website (for many reasons) and I feel more anonymous - but some how it feels terrifying here. ugh! knowing people are going to look at my site to see all I am doing wrong, which I am sure is plenty as I have never done this before, makes me feel nauseous lol. am I the only one who feels this way about it?

What you are feeling is quite normal so I wouldn't worry too much about it. As for not being a writer let me ask you something. Can you, and do you, have conversations with friends and family? Have you ever told someone about a movie you went to see that you liked? Did you ever get together with friends for a day. If your answer is yes to any of that then I would say you are a writer. The writing process itself is relatively simple, just put it on paper as if you were having a conversation with a friend. Don't stop to think about it either as we often have a tendancy to over think when we write but NOT WHEN WE TALK. Put your pen to the paper and just start writing without knowing where you are going, without worrying about grammar or spelling, without worrying whether or not it even makes sense. Then, once you have something on paper is when you can begin to think. That's when you start to edit what you wrote. BUT THE FIRST PART IS TO START WRITING AND DON'T LET YOURSELF STOP. Does this make sense? If not let me know and I'll see if I can help you some more. Good luck, I know you have it in you!!!

makes perfect sense. glad to know I am not the only one who feels this way. I feel like I am in my first art critique in college - lol - not a fun day. I am sure it will get easier. it certainly helps to realize I am stressing over nothing and I guess I am not the only stress case out there who overthinks (way too much!)

Just remember that Site Feedback is someone's opinion. It is just that, an opinion.
For instance, if you ask for feedback on the use of the colour blue on your website and you ask 4 people for this, chances are quite high that you will get 4 completely different opinions, ranging from "great" to "poor". So you will need to keep in mind, your own opinion as well.
Take whatever is said in Site Feedback with a pinch of salt.

Im gonna jump in and say that i have seen feedback and read chats where that is being done kind of regularly. Maybe if ask they will take a look. Part of the training is to go back and make sure you did certain things. This is so much better than trying to do it by myself for 20 years.

Just wondering:
Before a website is up and running, does anyone at Wealthy Affiliate give it the once over to make sure that everything from the backend was done the right way?
Not just feedback as to how the website looks but, from the backend in the actual setup of the website.
I ask this only because I'm new to this.

I'm new too and honestly I don't think so but, there's a section in the siterubix tab that informs you of the site health so I think you need to follow that because it tells you what you need to lookout for.

Nope but you are going step by step from the training so you will be alright. I was new as well and everything worked out fine. You can ask questions in classrooms or on the live chat and you will get help when you need it. Good luck!

I am confused why anyone would use the "Site Feedback" link where you are forced to give 2 reviews to get one when they can go over to this post and put up their site and not (necassarily)give back? Please Give Me Feedback on My Website I know it is suggested to give reviews there too - but I don't see it happening
Also - I gave 4 long reviews - with a lot of detail.
I received one of my 67 word review (I requested 2 -still hoping the second one will be more detailed!)
I thought I had seen or heard in the guidelines to leave no fewer than 250 words - why is there not a stop on that page - when someone submits feedback that is not long enough (in words) it should not give them a credit or take credit away from someone who took the time to leave a detailed review.

The Site Feedback option means that you will get at least 1 feedback for your 2 feedbacks. The other thread, where you put up your domain name, and then 'hoped' to get feedback does not 'always work'. You get zero, one or more feedbacks.
Also you are assuming that the longer the feedback, that the more useful it is. This is not always the case. Different people see different things, and provide different feedback which is the nature of it. Some people will say "love your feature x" and others will say "hate your feature x".... so which is "more correct?"... That is then your call.
If I said "I think you are missing a clear CTA in your post" that could be something really useful to you. As you may know, a clear CTA is a call to action and is usually at the bottom of a post, inviting the reader to do something that you want them to do in return for something else. In my opinion, no post should be without a clear CTA (apart from the "legal posts").

perhaps the content was such that they couldn't find 250 words for. I did a feedback review of a site recently, the content was of a high standard that there was little I could add to improve it. I didn't make the 250 words either. I managed to scrape up to 140

Hi Everyone, kindly assist I created a new .com website but used a new/different name the one I had initially under siterubix, now I'm sooo confused that my new website is different to my content. I had thenaturalbeautyfix.siterubix and now bought a .com and named it cocobeautyfix...now the trick is I had to transfer the content on thenaturalbeautyfix to cocobeautyfix...so at the moment I have www.cocobeautyfix.com am not sure where to work from now?

Hi! Thee is no problems with the domain. You should transfer your website from siterubix to cocobeautyfix.com. Go to SiteManager, push the move button, then push To An Existing Domain. From the list choose your domain cocobeautyfix.com and push I'm ready move my site. That's it. Your website will be on your domain. It doesn't matter domain name. Feel free to ask me any further questions if you have any

You can work from your new website and delete the siterubix one. You can change the titles on your new site to match the domain name if you want.
