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 (Oct 6 – Oct 12, 2018) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

1. Google is Shutting Down Google+
Google is going to shut down the consumer version of Google+ over the next 10 months, the company writes in a blog post. The decision follows the revelation of a previously undisclosed security flaw.

2. Blogging Productivity 101: Where Should Your Time Be Spent?
How should we split up our time working–so as to MAX out our blog growth potential? As new bloggers? As experienced bloggers? Where should we focus our time and energy and resources?

3. Web Comic: Do It Anyway
It’s completely normal to be afraid, even terrified, to jump into something new. Tons of people hate change for this exact reason. But sometimes to achieve success, you gotta suck it up and push through it.

4. Four Ways to Gain an ‘Unfair Advantage’
Look around you. Does it seem like people operate with a sense of urgency? Does it look like others are hungry to win; passionate about what they are doing; fuelled by a burning sense of desire for success?

5. How to Stop Worrying About What Other People Think
To have a winner’s mentality, you have to stop caring what other people think. You’ve gotta get quiet in your own head. So many people make big life decisions based on other people’s opinions.

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!
