Happy Friday everyone!

Welcome to another weekly round-up post from our growing community of bloggers, writers, vloggers, podcasters, and other fellow creatives. To be straight to the point, 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. As per our submission rules, posts shared can not be re-posts, or older than 1 month (30 days), meaning that all of the following are fresh and recent!

Here are this week’s (Apr 13 – Apr 19, 2019) most valuable posts from the /t/BES content creators community:

Achieving Success is Simpler Than You Think
Considering the sheer volume of content published about success, you would think the achievement would be exceedingly complex — right up there with building a transistor radio and brewing your own beer.

2. The Best Argument is a Good Book: Writing Advice from Saul Bellow
Bellow is still the only writer to have been awarded the National Book Award for Fiction three times—he also nabbed a Pulitzer, a National Medal of Arts, and of course, the Nobel Prize.

3. The Beauty Bloggers Exposing the Industry’s Wasteful Secret
Anti-hauls, project pans, empties and declutter videos are becoming popular as bloggers expose the excesses of the beauty industry. Influencers wield huge influence over potential beauty customers.

4. Nonfiction Writing Tips: How to Tell a True Story in a Creative Way
Successful nonfiction writing calls for more than just conveying information to your reader. Not only do you need to know how to deliver that information, but your writing should also be clear and easy to read.

5. Punctuation Marks: How to Use a Semicolon
Underused and often abused, the semicolon is useful in a number of writing situations. Although proper semicolon use requires a little finesse, this particular punctuation mark is surprisingly easy to understand.

That’s all folks! You can view all the rest of the community’s top submissions (11 more) here.

Be sure to 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!
