Taking advantage of Grammarly Free Version.
There are many here who are either using the Grammarly Free Version or the Premium version that can help you with many areas for your post.
Regardless of which you prefer to use is entirely up to you.
I used to have the premium then went back to the free version and I found something you can still do as a free user even though they tell you to upgrade to get some of their benefits.
Ok if you are using the free version no doubt you will see on your right, additional errors that can be fixed, and to do so you would need to upgrade to the premium version to get it fixed.
Well, that is not true.
True it will speed things up using the premium version but you can solve those issues yourself without upgrading.
Don't worry also about their plagiarism checker at the bottom of their site as this is a premium feature however there are many other plagiarism checkers that for some are better than what Grammarly has to offer.
Again that is up to you.
When I first used the free version I did get annoyed with the fact there were many errors they stated but struggled at first to find ways to fix the changes needed to get better results, so in order to fix them, I needed the premium version.
So eventually I upgraded, they had a discount which was just over 50% then later charged me for the full yearly cost, even though it wasn't due yet not to mention they were supposed to inform me this was going to happen as per their agreement.
I was not happy with this I wrote to them stated I was overcharged along with the fact they did not inform me this was going to happen per their agreement.
In other words, they stuffed up, so I got my refund within a day and cancelled my premium membership, and went back to the free version.
So for that, they were great about it and also apologized which was good.
The support help was good and perhaps one day I may think about going back to premium but not right now as I found a way to fix those so-called corrections that apparently only their premium version can fix.
Now I am just a free member they still try to get me to upgrade even send me regular emails that they haven't heard from me for a while as there is no action on my account which is rubbish as I use the free version regularly.
Once I used my Grammarly account three days in a row and still got an email two days later saying they have seen any action from me for a while. Yea sure they didn't.
They just want me to upgrade pretty much like other places do as we constantly see now with the AIO SEO Plugin then they will stop the emails.
How can you take advantage of the Free version as if you were using Premium?
Now as I said those who use the premium version will save time as the errors show up and the error counts are reduced along with that side panel (you see with the four areas more on that below shows you how well you are doing.)
Yesterday I was finishing my post for the Black Friday coming up with WA then copied my post to Grammarly to check using the Free version.
As I have done this before I know that the other notification they give you can still be fixed while still in free mode.
Note:
This method does not save time but uses time and also depends on your patience and the way you think of solutions.
Look at it this way when writing a post for your website you are wearing a thinking cap to be able to write unique content for the benefit of your readers so here keep that same thinking cap on when correcting any changes Grammarly suggests.
Besides this is a positive way to open your mind a bit more and put some thought into how your write and how you think of solutions with your writing.
In fact, it is, in my opinion, this will benefit you short and long term with your writing (your view may be different for some) it will also open up your mind to think outside the box for a change in the way your write.
Never limit yourself to standard writing but step forward and enhance your thinking to become better than what you were yesterday and even today going forward.
So below are the results of the same article with two separate result comparisons as I put in the original version twice one as is and the second when all was done so you can see the difference.
I am not showing the article itself as I have yet to publish this simply because Black Friday is still too far away to do so plus I don't want those who love to cheat and copy other people's work. It does happen even here.
I am only showing the results of before and after.
Using the free version to your advantage and will show you that together with your thinking cap on along with patience and determination to succeed you can easily do the same or at least as close to it as possible.
Ok
This is what is given to you from Grammarly with both versions just you know what they offer for each.
As you can see The Free plan is my current plan with what you get compared to what you can have if you upgrade.
Next image results of the same post before and after I did some work with my thinking cap on
As you can see the first result is pretty poor and filled with many adjustments Grammarly is telling me and to do so as far as they are concerned I would need to upgrade to get them fixed.
However, if you look and the right-hand image I didn't need the premium version as I fixed it all and the results show it.
Original Version before changes VS Completed Version after changed fixed
.Now I wasn't impressed hearing they stated my Engagement was a bit bland but I prove them wrong with the second result.
The first one had a score of only 51% while the second although it doesn't state it is is 100% which I will prove in the next image.
When you are in Grammarly at the top right will state performance you just click that and the results are given in a bit more detail as below.
As you can see the first still shows that 51% while the second on the right side shows 100%
That's it and it goes to show when you really put your mind to it you can get the same positive results without the need to pay extra for a version that you really don't need.
It is all up to you how you want to think and what action you want to take if you want to go forward in all you do.
