Happy Friday everyone!

Welcome to another weekly round-up post from our growing community of bloggers, writers, vloggers, podcasters, and other fellow content creators. Each and every week we hand-pick five top posts from a pool of the highest voted user-submitted/created posts in the community and include them in this weekly round-up blog post, along with the newsletter for all of our e-mail subscribers.

Here are this week’s (July 7 – July 13, 2018) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

1. Stop Trying to Find Yourself. Create Yourself Instead.
Can you create your own path? Yes you can! You think you are not capable but you can do more than you think you can. Don’t trust the system to take care of you.

2. How the Blog Broke the Web
I first got online in 1993, back when the Web had a capital letter — three, in fact — and long before irony stretched its legs and unbuttoned its flannel shirt. The Web was so small, then.

3. Why Organic Search Traffic Declines—and What to Do About It
When traffic is trending up, it can feel like you’ve finally cracked organic search. And when it starts to decline, it can instill a helpless feeling in even the best bloggers/marketers.

4. How Often Should You Email Your Newsletter List?
So you’ve been convinced your blog needs a newsletter. And you now know what you’re going to put in it. But how often should you send out your newsletter? Here’s everything you need.

5. Web Comic: Just Do It
Sometimes you just need to grab that pen, keyboard, stencil, paintbrush, or anything else, and just start. “Live and learn” is the name of the game, and sadly there’s no way around it.

That’s all folks! You can view all the rest of the community’s top submissions (12 more) here.

Tune in next Friday for another great weekend reading list that will make you a better and more informed blogger, writer, and/or content creator!  If you have anything awesome to submit that others might enjoy, feel free to do so!

And don’t forget to help other fellow bloggers find this nifty resource by sharing it around! Thanks!
