Good afternoon Reader, Here's a dose of tough love. So you want to make a living by writing about what you love. That’s amazing!

You’re pouring all your passion into your work, which is great, but don’t you also deserve to be rewarded for your hard work? Your blog posts aren’t getting views, you’re getting no comments, no engagement, nothing. Your hard-crafted work sits in a...

Hi Reader, Full disclosure: I have used AI to generate articles for my website. Not the good ones. Not the fun ones. Just the ones I wanted to rank for, but didn't feel like writing. Articles like: What is sensory language?​ What is contemporary fiction?​ But I had another motive for generating these AI articles. Well, two, actually.

Hi Reader, I've been the editor of Better Marketing for a few months now. A few days ago, I submitted (and had accepted!) my first Boost nomination. Between those two milestones, I've reviewed, edited, decided whether to accept, reject, or ask feedback for 100+ articles. Here are my takeaways for you, about Boosting, quality, and how to get accepted. Nobody reads the submission and style guidelines. The number of articles I get that are off-topic (abotu self-improvement, talking about...
