The post 18 Lessons I’ve Learned about Blogging appeared first on ProBlogger. In November 2002 I first heard the word blog after a mate e-mailed me a link and said I should consider starting one. Within 24 hours I’d created my first blog (a blogspot blog that doesn’t exist today). Since that time I’ve run 20+ blogs (most have survived, some have not) and I’ve also transitioned from hobby blogger to part time blogger to full time blogger.

Yes, AI has changed SEO forever (and will continue to do so), but it’s not going to kill it. We just need to adapt. How? By prioritizing “deep content” about topics that can’t be answered quickly or easily.

Happy release day to author Becca Kinzer! Becca’s second novel “Love in Tandem” hits shelves today. In this rom-com, Charlotte is perfectly content leading a quiet life in her small hometown. Zach is an adventurer with unquenchable wanderlust. The two couldn’t be any more opposite if they tried. But a tandem bicycle and a 500-mile road trip just might change all that.

Gone are the days when employees worked one job for forty years and then retired. Nowadays, career changes are expected over the course of a long working life. Employees pivot, try new roles, or go back to school to learn a new trade all the time. Some even leave the workforce to pursue long-held dreams, like enrolling in culinary school or becoming a flight attendant.

As someone who likes to travel, I love to pick up fun tourist shirts and souvenirs. One especially humorous shirt said, “No, we don’t have kangaroos in Austria.” It’s funny how just a few letters can make a world of difference in meaning. The terms copywriting and copyrighting often receive the same mix-ups. Though, no one has made a shirt about it yet, at least that I have found.

It’s a bit of a paradox: You can’t copy other people’s writing, but you’re supposed to use their main points to back up your own. Rather than filling your paper with direct quotes, the best solutions are paraphrasing and summarizing, which let you preserve meaning from another source while using original words to avoid plagiarism.

It's a scenario as old as freelancing itself, yet remains as fresh and frustrating for every new generation of freelancers.

Paraphrasing might seem like a way of avoiding plagiarism, but it can be considered a form of plagiarism if you don’t cite the original source. Citing paraphrases involves more than just mentioning the author’s name. Each formatting style—APA, MLA, or Chicago—has its own particular rules about how to cite paraphrased information, and these contrasting styles can be confusing.
