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 28 – Aug 3, 2018) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

1. Everything I’ve Learned About Failure
Failure is necessary. Failure is humbling. Failure is, almost — trendy? At least on the outside. Backstage, we scramble hysterically to avoid it at all costs.  Taking a glib, cavalier attitude toward failure is dangerous.

2. GaryVee: How to Grow and Distribute Your Social Media Content
Mastering content creation and distribution for your brand on social media is a difficult and long process. I’m going to show you how I do it on a daily basis for my personal brand.

3. How to Publish Regularly, Even If You Lack Writing Confidence
Most of us run into this sometimes — and it can turn into an ugly case of writer’s block. We have a real desire to serve an audience with our work, but unhelpful perfectionism holds us back.

4. The Strange Life of a Murderer Turned Crime Blogger
Holland is home to a thriving community of journalists and bloggers who cover criminals and the drug trade. Those writers are often targeted by their subjects—and so was Martin Kok.

5. Web Comic: Failure is Treasure
First you ‘find’ failure (or it finds you). Then you observe it and ‘reflect’ on it. Finally, you learn from your mistakes, ‘find the lesson’, and run with it. It’s an inevitable and unavoidable process.

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!
