Day #29 - Rewriting Posts
Hi everyone, I just started Lesson 1 of Affiliate Bootcamp Level 2 training. Really interesting stuff and I learned a lot from Kyle in this section. I had been thinking about rewriting some of my early posts. I felt that the paragraphs were too long and amateurly written. After reading lesson 1 and watching Kyle's video I definitely decided to go back and edit.
I jumped back in to my WA site and copied out my original posts. I use Hemingway Editor to try to keep my writing an easily understandable and a grammatically correct prose. Hemingway does test my patience at times as I try to please it. It hasn't made me a better writer yet but it does make mince meat of my posts and makes me correct them.
When I copied in my text, Hemingway nearly puked. So I started rewriting trying to keep Ernest and Kyle, my two mentors, happy. I feel I may have ticked all the boxes between both. After rewriting both articles, I removed some of my affiliate links from my WA review (I know only have three). I pretty linked those links.
I rewrite my Affiliate Marketing explained post utilizing both Ernest and Kyle's guidelines and then created back links to my WA Review.
Lastly, I wrote a new post on "Two-Tier Affiliate Programs" again applying the EK principles (Instead of writing Ernest (Hemingway Editor) and Kyle each time I am going to use EK going forward). This post was pretty quick to write and I feel it has good information in it.
What I find the most problems with, are copying text from the editor to Site Content or WP and then battling to get it looking the way I want. Also, the lack of being able to underline text and change text color is frustrating. If anyone knows how I can add that functionality I would appreciate it.
Funnily, at the beginning of this journey I felt that writing content would be my greatest challenge. Now I find that isn't the problem, it is being artistic graphically. I struggle with aesthetics, making the website look nice, choosing the right pictures, finding the right pictures, getting the number of pictures in a post correct and altering graphics to fit say as a banner and not make it look like a mutant. These are the challenges for me.
(Yells) Kyle! If you can hear me, any chance you could do a post on the aforementioned problems? If you have, great, I just need to find it and thank you for your support.
Unfortunately, I did not get time to comment on anyone's sites yesterday but I intend to aim for 10 good comments today. After the comments are complete, I will start work on my training again.
Many blessings to you all
Ken

Hi Ken,
Glad that the re-writing is going well! It's great that you were able to overcome that challenge. As you have discovered, though, many times with online business, you solve one challenge and are quickly surprised by another! You're doing all the right things, though, by going through the training and asking for help.
To address your current issue, I may be able to offer a possible resource for you. There are some good trainings from the live events on aesthetics. Jay has covered CSS for example, which allows you to add more styles to your website. I will see if I can find it and will post any relevant links here.

Following up with links to relevant trainings. CSS is a more advanced topic, so do not despair if you need to watch any videos a couple of times. There are also other resources on the web I can recommend.

Thank you very much Laura, I greatly appreciate your help. I will work through each of the videos.
If I can ever be of help to you, please let me know.

You're most welcome. I am a bit of a coding geek myself, so please feel free to reach out if you have a specific question.
