ChatGPT will help you write so much faster!

I've been playing with the new A.I. tool because I'm hoping it can help me organize my writing. I have a little trouble staying focused when I write an article and have always wished for a magic tool that would produce an outline for me on demand and keep me on track when I write long articles. My wish came true. I grabbed a keyword phrase from one of my lists and asked ChatGPT to do my dirty work for me. It took about 5 seconds to get the complete answer.

Buy my product and I'll never speak to you again!

Customer service hell:I actually had a product vendor on Warrior Plus tell me off and block me rather than refund my money or try to work with me today. I was shocked by her attitude, and her thin skin. Sometimes it's just not safe to buy stuffSometimes I’ll buy an info product on Warrior Plus. It’s rare now that I’m on Wealthy Affiliate, but once in awhile something will catch my eye. Today I saw something interesting on motivation for $4.93. I sometimes lack in the motivatio

Why join Wealthy Affiliate when you can make passive income anywhere?

I already make money online, why do I need WA? I've been successfully writing content online for years. In fact, I make enough passive income to cover my business expenses every month.

I'm not as sympathetic to native English speakers, but I am digging around for some compassion. ;-)The words "loose" and "lose" have two different meanings. And they just get thrown around with abandon by people who do not realize what a big mistake it is. I've seen this stick out like a sore

Easy Grammar Tip #1 - Your and You're

Since I've been teaching for 22 years, and I have a Master's Degree in Education - I thought it would be good practice to offer quick grammar tips here and there.
