Writers Academy on Travelista Club: It Is NOT a Scam!

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

The first time I heard about Travelista Club, I suppose it was a long, long time ago when I didn’t even have this blog yet. However, back then I was hesitant to sign up for GoDaddy since I wasn’t financially ready to purchase my own domain or hosting.

It was probably some time last year when I saw the Facebook ad of this club again. At the time, I decided to sign up since I already have this blog and I think it’s gonna be a good opportunity for me to get more exposures in terms of my writing skill.

I signed up through Writers Academy, and they claim to pay $40 AUD for a 1000-word article. So what is this Travelista Club, and what does it have anything to do with Writers Academy?

Well, allow me to explain it to you in this post as I realized that it’s been a while since the last time I wrote a piece on blogging. šŸ˜‰

4 Types of Blog That I Find Annoying While Blogwalking

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

So, earlier this morning I checked my WordPress when I found out that Alyne herself left a comment on my Social Media Influencer post. I was so surprised. Like, wow dude… Even an influencer with such a big number of followers like Alyne spared some time to do blogwalking. In that case, she probably googled herself and found my post there.

I mean, it’s such a good coincidence as I was already planning to write some rants about blogwalking tonight. For those of you who have been in the blogsphere for quite some time, I think you’re already familiar with the term.

For those who don’t, according to Answer.com, blogwalking is mutual blog promoting between bloggers through their individual blogs. Basically, it’s the kind of activity when you check out other people’s blogs to see what they have for various reasons.

Why I Never Take Any Blogging Course and Why I Don’t Want My Blog to Hit Success Overnight

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

A few days ago, one of the members on the blogging communities that I’m in shared the post on Medium that has now been deleted. In case you didn’t know some recent news in blogging communities, it was about this influencer who was accused of scamming through her Instagram course.

It’s been a while since the last time I wrote something about blogging here, so I guess I’ll do it now that it’s a hot trending topic. At least through blogging communities.

No, I’m not going to tell you that all blogging courses are scams. Clearly, because I’ve never taken any course myself.

Instead, I’m going to share with you why I’ve never joined any of the courses out there despite the fact that blogging is one of my main activities right now. Also, why I take it slow when it comes to blogging on my platform.

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

It’s 2018, when everyone is a publisher!

I mean, how many of you would check your post once in every hour to see how many likes you got on Instagram?! Long story short, no matter how much you think you don’t care about it, at some point you’ll try to attract people to see what you post so they can potentially spread the love on your page.

Some people try so hard to do it that they would give some provoking title to get some unique visitors to their page. Hence, the invention of the term clickbait that we all know now.

To be fair, some of us learned the hard way that we started to check the content first before we shared an article in social media. The thing is, some others would buy this kind of clickbait. And that’s exactly why the clickbait situation never stops.

But there are some kinds of clickbait that you smart people shall never fall into… Why? BecauseĀ it’s obviously just a clickbait and not legit.

What are they?
