You have to love the wordpress plugins
Ok, so is I decided to start using some of these wordpress plugins I keep hearing and reading about.
I start by using Yoast and discovered I need some help with my writing. The little green dots is what I'm aiming for.
I found getting the green lights on the focus keywords is easy and very rewarding. I'm having fun using the tools at my hands.
So, what's my problem? I have trouble with passive and transition words. This could explain why some of my pages are not pulling any traffic.
What's my solution? Learning. I plan to learn and concentrate on improving my writing skills.
How can you help? All and any advice I can get from any great writer will help me. Don't be shy, I can handle any criticism, so lay it on me. For you to see what I mean, I'm asking you to visit my website, read my post. Either on my website or here on this post tell me what you see I should be doing to improve my writing skills.
Thank you and God bless

yoast has been useful. I follow their advice when the dots are red or orange, and correct them to make them green.
Thank you Karin,
If didn't install the plugin I would not have known I had a writing problem.
Have you in the conversation is still a pleasure, we can both learn together.
Thank you Scott
Thank you very much A lot of people don't realize that when you feel a part of makes a big difference thank you again
I know this is 7 months late, but I think what Scott means is that it makes a difference to his motivation, to feel a part of this group or conversation.
I'm using Headline Analyzer from Coschedule (it's free online tool) and free version of Grammarly for spelling.
Thank you, Kirill
I will be looking into Coschedule, I have heard of this tool.
Thank you for the tip. God bless
Thank you Jim,
It's good to know some tricks and tips about using Yoast.
It seems like a great tool for SEO a post.
Thanks for the comment.
You could take a basic English refresher on parts of speech. Adverbs and verbs create action which pulls in marketing!
Very good advice Michael,
I'm starting to take lessons and will be learning all of the parts of speech. I should have taken English more serious while in school.
Thank you
Hello LeNard, great to see you are enjoying Wealthy Affiliate (WA) and Wordpress. I have visited one of your websites and what comes across like here is that English is not your first language. I think Simon's suggestion is a very good one.
Thank you, Harvey,
English is my first language. I just didn't pay much attention in school when it came to the writing exercises. English was one of my weakest subjects.
You could try installing free version of grammerly on you browser, this will certainly help you out, it has a premium version also if you want to go even further, it also has an affiliate program...
Hope this helps.
Thank you, I've been using the free version. It may be time to upgrade to the paid version, or just search the web for writing lessons.
I found some members here have posted some training on writing style and grammar.
Thank you, Loes, I love your guidance. You are truly a good teacher. I understand why you are an ambassador.
I thought I should be using the keyword tool for all titles, why I wasn't I do no know.
Your comments and advice will take me far.
Yes, I never knew that. John Miguel enlightened me. I saw you commenting on that post too, Loes.
LOL I'm still lazy using the keyword tool for blog posts here.
I got 8 referrals of which turned into 2 sales, who came in via my WA blog posts, so you really need to pay attention to this!
You can find your own conversions here:

under the Referral Entrance Details
"guest user modal"
From just one post?!
wow
You mentioned there, you never got any referrals from your blog posts till date. Things happened real quick!
I procrastinated analysis of JOhn Miguel's posts. Now, I SHOULD analyze your recent posts and your earlier posts. What worked and what didn't!
I was confused when I saw people clicking on my blog posts when I checked my stats. Then I asked about it in chat. A successful and knowledgeable member discouraged me and said it rarely works. Then John Miguel's post changed my thoughts altogether!
I would respect suggestions from members who have done well. But at the same time always have an open mind.
Everything's possible! :D
O No, I have to correct something, you should look to the "guest user modal", and it's assumingly from several posts, I did change it already in the other comment too
"Guest user modal" what's that? LOL I'm confused.
You corrected something?
Thanks for the update.
Now that I know my WA post can also get index, I will be using the WA keyword tool for all post
I now understand what the Guest User Modal. This is where I've received just about all of my referrals from so far.
I have a hard time with chat, it moves so fast with me. I only use it sparely.
Slowly adjusting myself to it, maybe I should spend time on Live Chat every day. I here some of the greatest hang out in there.
Thank you, Gautam
I also have a hard time in chat, I do not spend much time over there either, I think I've been in there 5 times now the last 2.5 year

I highly recommend Grammarly. The paid version helps you with problems like passive voice and other grammar problems. The free version is great too.
Thank you, Josephine,
I'm using the free version of Grammarly as of now, soon to upgrade to the paid version.
I'm sure it all going to work out. Thank you for your advice.
