Next up, we get to Ayodeji Awosika, self-improvement author and speaker, who reminds us that we’re in it for the long run in our creative journeys.

Happy Friday (And National Day of Unplugging) everyone!

Preface: 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.

Tune in every week and you will gradually become a better and more insightful creative over time!

We begin this week with Lynn Steger Strong, who writes on The Guardian about how “there is nothing more sustaining to long-term creative work than time and space – and these things cost money” as amply summarized by the sub-header. Lynn, a writing teacher, shares her own personal background and experiences, and resonates on how tough and cut-throat it actually can be to even just reach a living wage, a piece that earns the top spot in this week’s list.

Just below her, we’re greeted by Maggie Archibald, who dives into the popular but difficult subject of the importance of creating a well-thought out post title that maximizes the chances of getting clicked on, and details some tried, tested, and true tactics that you can try next time you find yourself writing your own.

Capturing our final podium spot, and the digital bronze, is George Nguyen who reports how since just a few days ago, Google has started treating the nofollow link attribute as a hint, instead of than a directive like before, when crawling and indexing links and pages. In short, the main point is to give more content control to bloggers and website owners.

Kelly Burch, a freelance writer, shares her personal success story of how she climbed from zero to making six digits in her freelance writing career, in a detailed and transparent post that earns her fourth place!

Finally, wrapping up the list is Eric Goldschein with his piece on the topic of membership walls/gates, the pros and cons of utilizing them on your blog or website, along with some tips that may help you out if you’re considering this content strategy.

Starting us off this week is Paul Graham, founder of YC Combinator, and long time web writer, who shares his thoughts and views of what he considers “useful writing”, detailing how to achieve it in formal and informal essay writing, and providing real life examples of why it ultimately matters. Well worth our top spot this week!

Next up, we get to Katy Waldman of the New Yorker, who craftily reviews a new memoir by Elizabeth Tallent called “Scratched”, detailing “how the pursuit of perfection can paralyze a writer,” as aptly summarized in her own words. And you thought your occasional writer’s block was bad!

Wrapping up the top three is Benjamin Hardy reminding us that to succeed in any creative venture or journey, we need to constantly push ourselves to take action. By being relentless, we can tweak our craft, and can form habits that will help us eventually get to our desired destination. Failing is a part of the game plan, and that’s the only true way to learn to get better.

Just below, PJ Howland, SEO professional at Moz, reports on and details out his findings on how Google has removed “spot zero”, and how URLs will no longer serve in both the featured snippet and the front page of Google. These changes can have an enormous impact on SEO tactics and strategies going forward.

Just below, we find Kevin J. Duncan, Editor-in-Chief for Smart Blogger, who shares his massive guide on “How to Find (& Land) Freelance Writing Jobs” as the title suggests.

Finally, we get to Laura Wagner, who reports on Vice Motherboard the news of how an amateur sports blogger/reporter got his Twitter account “highjacked” by Vox Media, the company that employed him, even though it was purely his own idea and effort to do so on the side.

Next up, Daniel Cooper reports on Engadget about how domain prices are set to rise soon due to the ending of older Obama-era legislation that froze the price at USD $7.85.

Worth a read if procrastination is an on-going issue for you personally.

Next, we get to Tim Denning, a familiar name here lately, who shares the writing schedule he swears by, and that’s worked for him over the years to build his name, portfolio, and most importantly, actual readers — millions of them.

Christian Mihai reminds us about reciprocity in his short and sweet piece on his The Art of Blogging blog, landing in fourth place this week.
