Do you ever scroll through Instagram's main feed and get incredibly furious at the amount of irrelevant content you see pop up as Suggested? Particularly Suggested Reels on your home tab?
You're not alone.
I've personally become quite frustrated seeing recommended-to-me content in my Instagram home feed as opposed to simply seeing content from accounts I opted-in to follow.
Thankfully, there is a way to mute some Suggested posts in your Instagram feed, and you can do it in just a few quick clicks!
Note: This process typically only removes Suggested For You Reels in the Home tab on Instagram. Recommended content in other tabs, like Search, are seemingly unaffected.

Ever since the major Google updates of late 2023 and early 2024, SEO experts have been seemingly throwing spaghetti on the wall to try and figure out what factors could have made an impact.
But because of the size of these updates, arguments could be made for trends everywhere. From having a privacy policy, contact page, or having display ads, virtually every best practice was flagged as a possible point of concern at some point.
When nearly everyone was impacted, it is easy to make these leaps.
One argument we saw several times is that sites with ads or aggressive affiliate plays were impacted more than others. While we personally did not see this being a factor as much in our own sites, it did make us curious, particularly around video ads.
So we put together a test to see what would happen if we turned video ads off one of our sites!

If you are looking to grow your Instagram or TikTok, it can feel like spinning your wheels at times. The algorithms are seemingly all over the place. Some accounts can blow up and thrive, while others may not see much movement at all.
For the longest time, I discounted short-form video primarily because I was in the latter category. It wasn't until friends of mine gave me a private lashing over what I was doing wrong that I started to take a strategic approach to how I create my short-form content.
So in this one, I thought I'd break out what I've been doing to grow my presence on these short-form video apps, and inspire some ideas to try in your own content creation.

We get it, things are weird in blogging right now.
Between the push for AI creations (often at the expense of content creators), changing algorithms, and variable budgets, many bloggers feel the pressure in earnings. We have to admit, we are, too!
One thing we've seen frequently is bloggers considering taking on a part-time job to supplement their income, and after mulling it over, I've decided to jump on board this train and take on extra outside work myself.
In this one, I wanted to share why I decided that after nearly six years of full-time blogging, it was time for me to get back into the workforce by joining another business part-time.
I'm actually not that upset by this choice, really!
