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 (Aug 18 – Aug 24, 2018) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

1. The Flourishing Business of Fake YouTube Views
Martin Vassilev makes a good living selling fake views on YouTube videos. Working from home in Ottawa, he has sold about 15 million views so far this year, putting him on track to bring in more than $200,000, records show.

2. Movement-First: How to Scale Content Without Sacrificing Quality
Some people call “movement-first” posts essays instead of articles. It looks and feels very different from content optimized for search since it isn’t beholden to any SEO tactics like word count and keyword density.

3. Web Comic: Blocked
When something gets in your way, and there’s no way around it, sometimes you just need to improvise. In those instances, anything is better than backing off, turning around, and going back to our “safe spaces”.

4. How To Write The Ultimate Blog Post
Blogging is warfare. You know it, I know it, hell the whole world knows it. Research indicates that in 2013 alone there were more than 152 million blogs live on the internet and the numbers keep growing.

5. Why Successful People Don’t Use To-Do Lists
Nearly all of us have fallen victim to the to-do list at least once in our lives. The go-to piece of advice we’ve been told since grade school during feelings of overwhelm is, “Make a list and start crossing things off.”

That’s all folks! You can view all the rest of the community’s top submissions (10 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!
