Already picked them all up for you. Plus, I found an us that should have been an is. (wink)

You should copy and paste your posts into a Google Doc before releasing them. It usually puts a line under all the typos

[ShanniiWrites]

I wish! But because I’m working from the back end, doing that would get rid of all of my formatting >.<

[ShanniiWrites]

@Discussions anything to say on this one? I’m working on the writing blog posts one right now, which will hopefully help people who want to know more about SEO

[Duckling]

You could still correct the errors in the actual post (so the format would stay the same) this would just make it easier for you to spot them

Explain how exactly the Amazon affiliate thing works, so people find out how to support you without spending anything on the forums other than what they would have already paid for their Amazon purchase
Tell them to sign up for grammarly, which gives you a small sum whenever someone signs up

[ShanniiWrites]

The only problem is that I can’t advertise affiliates like “hey I get money from this and it makes no difference for you!” I have to, like, “convince” people to buy a product because the product is good, not because they wanna help me

Otherwise Amazon wouldn’t really have a reason to have affiliates!

But you can advertise grammarly

[ShanniiWrites]

Yuss! In a few different ways! I will definitely do that

[ShanniiWrites]

I need to add “turn your Adblock off” somewhere

@ShanniiWrites

Read Through Your Own Work

Okay, I’ll probably never write a successful blog post I hate reading through my own writing

[Rainbow]

oh no… maybe I shouldn’t have submitted that new blog post… or any at all, the only thing I ever did was check for typos (and maybe a 10-minutes-research)
yes, I should definitely read over all of that

[ShanniiWrites]

xD You still can! On your profile@

[Rainbow]

I’ll just cheat and say I’m organically writing my blog posts no planning to save my creativity But I do reread my writing, and I don’t copy and paste stuff so no issues there
But as long as you think they are good enough, I’m happy

[WritingWithStars]

@ShanniiWrites I probably don’t have enough influence but I put a link to the forums in my wattpad bio!

[ShanniiWrites]

Thank youuuu

[ShanniiWrites]

Bumping this, because if you haven’t read it already, we got 10c from people reading yesterday

@ShanniiWrites

Make Sure the Post Idea Matches the Theme of the Website

So I wouldn’t be allowed to write about ducks?

[ShanniiWrites]

You could write about how to write stories about ducks!
