"hey, can I join your gang or squad..?"

"You wish to join La Squadra?" She cocked up an eyebrow, leaning forward in her seat.

Well, I did this in the hope that I could get past my art block (but it's not working) But I also have other purposes:

Reactivate anonymous questions (in hopes of shutting up those shitty haters)

Clarify why I don't mention the artists from whom I'm inspired

BRING ATTENTION!! Because here I'll clarify my personal reasons once and for all!

-------------------------------

Well, for a long time (when I started as an artist on deviantart, I was a beginner) I was inspired by artists who were much better than me, I had drawn gifts for them and written supportive comments saying how much I like their art, until then I didn't have problems; But when I started on Tumblr, the problems started.

I met more artists who inspired me, most of the inspiration I got from tumblr artists, so I started by making my first gift to an artist (I won't mention who). Since I had improved my drawing technique a bit, I decided to do it (without exaggeration, it had been difficult for me), but after publishing it tagging the artist, time passed and this artist didn't seem to have noticed. I wanted to give them more time, since I knew they was a busy person, but after seeing that they was still answering questions from other users, I decided to send them a private message mentioning that I had drawn them a gift (since tumblr sometimes doesn't warn about tags) But... completely ignored my message and didn't reply to the message again.

That was my first experience. But things got worse as time went by...

I decided that before making a gift, I should ask the artists (so as not to go through that embarrassment again). I asked another artist if I could draw their character, but again they ignored my message (I didn't want to insist) and things got worse.

Currently several of the artists that I used to follow, stop doing it, since it seems that they has something personal against me. I have sent questions out of curiosity, or to askblogs, and they didn't answer my questions, not even those of "I like your art" (ironic, seeing that other users answer saying the same thing)

IN OTHER WORDS...

Yes! I am inspired by the art of various artists, but I stopped mentioning them because there're some who don't deserve the merit! Their egos are so big that they forget that it's thanks to their followers that they are who they are! They're so self centered that they treat some followers like shit!

(I won't mention the artists who suck, but if you insist on knowing, I'll just say it by private message, although I don't recommend asking.)

The artists that I follow today are the few who still have a bit of humility and don't treat their followers like shit.

I don't mention any artsits (either egotistical or humble) because I don't know how they will react, the egocentric will be offended and the humble will congratulate. Well, I don't want ANYTHING anymore! I prefer to stay with the gains of giving gifts and giving credit, than giving them to artists who don't deserve it! I won't risk that the artist to whom I dedicate a gift, be a shit person and go back to spend a shame making a drawing in which I tried being discarded!

They may draw well having talent as an artist, but as people they are disgusting! drawing well doesn't give them the right to be egotistical and conceited!

Dedicated to all artists (especially superficial ones)

For now I made these drawings of my characters along with those of other artists (of course who I was inspired by) just so that the bullies and haters stop bothering me. Thanks to them I have this art block.

I think it goes without saying that my art is not the best, but as always, I try hard! I already mentioned the artists of some of the characters I was inspired by!

Now leave me alone! I did what you wanted, now stop bothering me! You fucking bullies!!

The Judgement of Paris I/ Il giudizio di Parigi I

watercolor on paper, 2019

acquarelli su carta, 2019

You could drink your fill from a shell,

but porcelain,

ultramarine kissed with gold,

caught your eye.

What do I long to hold

each morning?

I've never asked myself.

I was too worried

you couldn't see

my lips curve,

my arms holding,

all we needed

to float.

How will you take your capuccino now?

The tyranny of objects

is not a question of space,

but value.

You could hold the universe,

in the right shaped vessel.

So I painted

three cups and a pot,

to remind myself of possibility.

______________________________

Ti sazi da una conchiglia,

ma porcellana,

blu oltremare dorato,

ti attirò.

Cos'è che ardo io

a tenere ogni mattina?

Non mi sono mai chiesta.

Temevo troppo

che non vedevi

mie labbra curve,

mie braccia tenendo,

tutto richiesto

per galleggiare.

E ora, com'è che prendi il cappuccino?

La tirannia di oggetti,

non è questione di spazio,

ma valore.

Terresti l'universo,

nella brocca giusta.

Così ho dipinto

tre tazze e caffettiera,

per ricordarmi le possibilità.

Some babies I got some time ago and finally got to show off a little ~

Meet Starlit Nymph and Perfect Porcelain, Glassy’s cousins on her father’s side, both are very important in her backstory. 

Starlit Nymph (on the left) was adopted from the amazing @vividfizz and I’m in love with her ok that’s it -SHOT- This lady also is a part of the Orchestra as a makeup artist and costume designer. Her talent is adaptability, which led her through many paths and also helped her and her sister surviving Sombra’s reign. She now experiments with her talent the creative way, enjoying to deal with restrictions and constraints of the show, enhancing her inspiration to do her best with what she is given, this is how adaptability expresses for her. Perfect Porcelain (on the right lol) was adopted from Tinuleaf on DA but it was a resell so I don’t know who the original designer is sadly, I will ask her sometimes. Porcellana (how she is mainly called) is 5 years younger than Nymph (Nymph is 27, Lana is 22) and is a ballerina (I need to do her cutie mark). She was very close to Glassy when they were children due to their shared passion, and the two reunited after Sombra, they helped each other to stand up again meaningful ways. Right after Sombra’s fall, she volunteered as a nurse and is now taking care of a certain pack of misfits. 

As humans, their ethnicity is Italian, like Glassy’s father, Finaletto. I’m going to design him and her mother (Ingénue) soon I think.

9 Website Copywriting Tips That Will Increase Your Search Ranking

New Post has been published on https://britishdigitalmarketingnews.com/9-website-copywriting-tips-that-will-increase-your-search-ranking/

9 Website Copywriting Tips That Will Increase Your Search Ranking

Years ago, you could just stuff your post with keywords, buy links, and land on Google’s first page for a search term. Today, that would see your web pages penalized or totally removed from search results.

SEO is now about providing value for your visitors. And it usually begins with On-Page Optimization. If you want to rank high on search engines today, everything you do from email marketing to social networking to copywriting must be to provide value for your visitors.

Then you’ll improve your search rank. There’s no shortcut about it. In this post, I’ll be showing you vital tips to achieve better ranking through copywriting.

Why is website copywriting important in SEO?

The frank truth is that copywriting is the pillar of SEO. This is because when your potential visitors use search engines, they’re looking for content that will meet their immediate needs.

The quality of your copywriting and how you optimize it determines whether your post ranks first for a search term. Or hundredth.

Over the years, Google has made SEO majorly about quality content. The most important SEO advice has been: provide the best value for your readers.

There’s no better way to do this than through vibrant copywriting. How do you improve your copywriting to gain better search rankings?

1. Optimize your page title with the right keyword for effective SEO content

Your page title or headline is the most important part of your post. Because no matter how great the content of a post is, nobody gets to read it if the title is weak.

Legendary copywriter, David Ogilvy, said: “when you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.”

Your post title is so important that copywriting experts have recommended you spend half of the time to craft an irresistible title.

One of our recent posts about Client Onboarding Best Practices have has generated well over 14,000 views in less than 2 months has a catchy title. Take a look:

What’s the most important keyword you’re trying to rank for with your content? Make sure you insert the keyword into your title and as early as possible.

For instance, if your title has 8 words, let your keywords appear in the first 4.

Consider the title of this post. This post is essentially giving copywriting tips for your website. You can see that appears first in the title.

Apart from inserting a keyword, your title should preach benefits your readers would gain when they read the full post. You must be clear about this

If you’re not a natural at crafting titles, you can use headline templates that have proven to work in the past. You can model one of these 100 Headline Ideas by Content Marketing Up.

2. Use short sentences and thoughts to optimize content for mobile

Creating content for your website is different from writing doctorate thesis. Long sentences and paragraphs are allowed in your thesis. However, it could kill your website.

Especially when you consider mobile users. A paragraph that contains 4 lines on PC could easily take 8 on mobile.

According to Henneke Duistermaat on Enchanted Marketing, “To make your writing sparkle, you must cut long sentences and skip bland words.”

With mobile searchers surpassing desktop on Google, you have to know that optimizing your user experience for mobile is as important as the desktop. When you use long sentences and paragraphs in your content, it becomes difficult for visitors to read.

The next step they take is to bounce off your page. A signal like this tells Google that your website’s user experience is poor. You lose rank this way.

Make your sentences short and easy to read on mobile. This will definitely boost your traffic. As an example, by optimizing its website for mobile and other strategies, University of Cambridge was able to increase organic traffic by 66% over a year.

3. Use active voice to write your landing page copy and increase Time on Site

Passive voice is boring, unreadable, and does readers no good. This is because no matter your good intentions, readers will usually abandon your post before they get to the end.

What do I mean by passive and active voice? Let me give you an example. “I love you” is active while “You are loved” is passive. We both know the former carries more weight. Even though they may be trying to say the same thing.

Phil Jamieson said: “But too often, writers use passive voice unconsciously, leading to awkward, vague, or bloated sentences that make the meaning harder to understand.”

When you’re writing content for your website, you’re having a conversation with your readers. Active voice makes you feel connected to your readers where passive voice may feel detached. Like you’re writing for a robot.

Apart from boosting user experience on your website, it also automatically helps SEO. Because searchers use conversational terms to search. And with voice search gaining momentum every day, this will only get better as the months go by.

4. Link out to trusted websites to provide a richer user experience

The truth is that your website can’t have all the resources related to your content. More so, you can’t explain every concept in your post.

When you mention a concept that can’t be explained fully in a sentence or two, you should link to the best resource that throws a greater light on it.

Make sure you link to authoritative websites on any topic you’re talking about. What this tells search engines is that you’re providing the best value possible for your visitors.

Linking to these websites improve your authority in your niche — and boosts your chances of ranking high on Google for important keywords.

Reboot performed an experiment to find if linking to authoritative websites do have an effect on search ranking for a website. It found that sites with external links ranked higher than those without.

5. Craft meta descriptions by asking questions that challenge users

Your meta description is the snippet searchers see below your post before they click on it. Meta description gives the summary of your post. Ask yourself: “are you asking questions that they would like to get answers to?”

With a meta description, you can ask questions that give potential visitors an idea of what they’ll get when they click through to your post. This is an example from Search Engine Watch that asks questions searcher want answers to. This is for search query ‘meta description.’

6. Use deep linking to create a flow and aid Google spider in crawling your website

When you have a website in a niche, Google wants to see you as an authority in that niche. One way to show authority is to use deep linking on your website. This involves having many internal links between your posts. We do this a lot in our posts.

One thing this tells search engines is that you have enough resources about your broad topic on your website. This allows Google bots to easily crawl your website which will only improve your search rankings.

7. Use the “Inverted Pyramid” to reduce website bounce rate

The first time Nora Ephron attended journalism class taken by Charles Simms, students in the class were given work to do. Mr. Simms presented facts about an event and told them to report it. Most students got it wrong. Why?

Because they failed to put the most important information first.

The ‘inverted pyramid’ method is all about presenting the most important information about your post first.

This serves as a hook that draws reader’s attention. By offering value to your visitor at the beginning of your post, this makes them continue reading your post.

Consequently, this reduces your bounce rate and improve your rankings. Laura Lopuch is a master at captivating the audience with the first line of her posts.

8. Match your website content with guest posts for relevance

Although the impact of links from guest posts has reduced over the years, it’s still important for SEO — especially if you get featured on reputable websites.

But to have the best SEO effect from your guest posts, you have to make sure they’re similar to the content on your website. You also have to guest post on authoritative websites that are in the same niche as you are.

When you write a guest post that provides value, readers on that website who click-through to your website want to see that same type of content (but better) on your website, not something entirely different.

When Silvio Porcellana needed more search traffic, he began a guest blogging campaign. And got a 20% increase in search traffic after publishing 44 guest posts.

9. Create long-form comprehensive content to outrank your competitors

If your goal is to rank high in search engines, then the short-form content is not an option. This is because, to a large extent, search engines believe only long-form content is able to explain concepts in details.

As a result of this, it is believed that long-form articles provide the highest values to searchers.

Search engines are trying to give search users the best information possible. Going into details when you produce content for your website will give you a better opportunity to rank as search engines believe you’re providing value.

Brian Dean conducted a research on 1 million Google search results and found that the length of posts correlated with their positions on the search results page. A post on Google’s first page had an average of 1890 words.

In another research by SerpIQ, they also found posts length to be correlated with their Google search position. The average length of the post in the number one spot was 2450 words.

Even though the word count differs on both studies, one thing that is clear is that long-form content dominates on search engines and affects your position.

By posting long-form content consistently, Success At School increased its search traffic by 1,000%.

Conclusion

If you have a website and you’re serious about improving SEO for your website, copywriting is the most important factor to consider.

With the right copywriting, you’ll improve user experience and build a successful website.

You can improve your search rankings, get customers to your website, and keep them glued to your content. This gives you the best chance to achieve the targets that you’ve set for your business.
