The Joy of Comments

Writing without receiving feedback for your work is a tough task.

It’s like blogging without attracting a comment. That’s a lonely road no one wants to stare down, let alone be found walking down.

That’s why you can never underestimate the warmth or joy that you can bring by leaving a comment on someone’s blog or website article.

My experience

I remember the first day I walked down that road. It was ‘just another task’ in the lessons but boy, did I get soaked in! I found myself moving from one Request For Comment (RFC) to the next.

I even forgot about the part where I had to post my own RFC, until someone on whose article I had commented asked!

What I discovered

• Pay It Forward

That’s how captivating it was! I got so lost in giving that I had no care for my own needs. And then it dawned on me; I had just discovered what Kyle always ‘went on’ about... Paying It Forward (PIF) - the fuel that keeps Wealthy Affiliate going. The oil that keeps this machine running.

• Niches

And then I discovered something else, the niches that were out there, that you can never glean from Members’ profiles. And then there was the writing styles, the content layout, use of images, and so much more. I had set out to give but instead ended up receiving so much more!

Call to action

So have you left someone a comment today? Not yet? Then head over to this post by Kyle and experience PIF for yourself.

We are Blessed
