Are SEO services worth it?
Yes, SEO services are definitely worth it, and here's why:
In today's digital age, having a strong online presence is very crucial for the success of any business.
And SEO plays a major role in ensuring that your website ranks higher in search engine results pages (SERPs), thus increasing your visibility and driving more organic traffic (non-paid traffic) to your site.
Let's dig deeper to provide you with more information.
Why Invest in SEO Services?:
Here are the key reasons why investing in SEO services is a smart move:
1. Increased Organic Traffic:
SEO helps your website appear on the first page of search results for relevant keywords.
Studies have shown that the majority of clicks go to the top three search results, so being among them can lead to a significant increase in organic traffic to your site.
Of course, in the current landscape, the integration of AI into search engines has led to a reduction in organic traffic as a result of various SERP features, pushing organic results down.
However, despite this, there remains a strong desire among people to utilize search engines to find the information they require.
Therefore, being active with SEO efforts presents an opportunity for building authority in the eyes of search engines, and aid in securing prominent positions and attracting organic traffic.
“Google SGE is expected to reduce organic traffic significantly to websites for many keywords because searchers will be able to get the answer directly in Google’s AI-generated answer. The one bright spot? Websites that can’t reach the top 10 of Google’s organic results might be able to appear as links within SGE” – Search Engine Land

2. Better User Experience:
SEO involves optimizing your website's structure, speed, and overall user experience (UX).
By improving these aspects, visitors are more likely to stay longer on your site, reducing bounce rates, and increasing the chances of conversion.
3. Higher Conversion Rates:
When your website ranks higher in search results, it not only attracts more traffic but also tends to gain more trust from users.
This credibility can lead to higher conversion rates as people are more likely to purchase products or services from a reputable and trustworthy brand or business.
4. Long-Term SEO Results:
Unlike paid advertising, which stops delivering results once you stop investing in it, SEO provides long-term benefits.
Although it takes time to see significant improvements, the efforts put into optimizing your website can continue to pay off for years to come (ROI upto 42x).
5. Cost-Effective:
While SEO services require an upfront investment regularly (generally as a retainer fees) based on type of services sought, it is generally more cost-effective in the long run compared to other forms of digital marketing.
In fact, once your website starts ranking well organically and growing gradually, you can reduce spending on paid advertising campaigns, thus creating a sustainable traffic stream.
“your investments in SEO will help reach potential customers in all economic climates” – Conductor
6. Stay Ahead of Competitors:
The digital landscape is highly competitive, especially these days, and many businesses invest in SEO to gain an edge over their competitors.
By implementing effective SEO strategies, you can ensure that your website ranks higher than your competitors' sites, attracting more potential customers. This definitely needs a skill-based approach.
7. Adaptability to Algorithm Changes:
Search engines frequently update their algorithms to provide better search results.
In fact, in the last 1-2 years, Google has launched many core, spam, and review updates to streamline search results.
SEO experts closely monitor these changes and adapt their strategies accordingly to ensure that your website remains optimized and performs well in search rankings.
“Small- and medium-sized businesses should budget between $700 and $2500 for SEO services. More aggressive budgets will generally lead to faster results” – Semrush [of course, this may vary by location]
Keep in mind that SEO is not a one-time task; it requires continuous effort and regular reviews.
For busy entrepreneurs, outsourcing SEO services can provide relief, allowing them to focus on core business activities while maintaining effective coordination and developing a good understanding to achieve goals.
Tumblr media
In conclusion, SEO services are definitely worth it for any business looking to establish a strong online presence, drive organic traffic, increase conversions, and stay competitive in today's digital world.
By investing in SEO, you can reap the long-term benefits and see a significant return on investment.

Hey, I saw you write fictions. Could you help me understand how to go about writing fictions and what are the basic steps? I want to write a larry fiction but english isn't my first language and my vocabulary isn't advanced. I, however, do want to give a try maybe a short fiction. How do formulate a fiction? I have some ideas but I can't divide them into chapters and generate enough scenes. I have tried to write sometimes but it's always a dead end and I don't know to proceed.
Personally I like how read story where there's seeding in every chapter with some backstory which gradually gets revealed. I am into a/b/o phase right now and want to write a good story with basic yet great plotline which keep my readers hooked.
I have so many questions to ask. Sorry for this long ask and Thank you if you respond.
Hey sweetie. How do I say this without sounding self-deprecating? I'm still a beginner, I technically wrote two fics. I'm currently working on my first "advanced" fic, which means I'm still learning, A LOT. I can't really be a teacher right now, but I can give you some tips. I can help you with what I learned since I started writing and link some good blogs/posts. This is going to be long, so cut.
First, some tips.
1. There are so many superior writers out there, but everyone has to start somewhere.
You can't start writing with the idea you're the greatest writer on the planet. I wrote down my first story when I was eight. Did it have a good plot? No. Did it have well thought out characters? Absolutely not. Did I make a story inspired by my favourite superhero show? Yes. It was probably 300 words max and with horrible grammar. I'm a very imaginative person, so I make stories up in my head, but that was the first one I wrote down. I haven't written much since then, just some school projects and little things here and there. I only started really writing in April, I think. It was rough, but fun. It was a canon-compliant story, so it didn't need that much planning out, I thought. When I finished, I was so proud. Then I started my second fic and I realized my first wasn't the best. I was so sad when I read it back, disappointed it didn't turn out the way I had in mind. But I shook it off, realized it was my first fic, EVER. So I shouldn't put myself down. You have to start writing to get good, you can't expect to be Jane Austin without putting one word down. Don't COMPARE yourself to others.
2. Plot is never truly original.
Like music, there isn't somsthing like an original plot. Everything is taken from something else. Every plot in the world has taken inspiration from somewhere else. You can write an a/b/o fic with a spy theme, it's very clever, but not original. You've taken an a/b/o plot and combined it with a spy plot. Don't be afraid to write a cliche plot, it's about the way you write it. That's why no two fics are the same, the writer is different.
3. Find a beta you trust.
When I first started the first part of my fic (it was a series), I didn't know what a beta really did, so I asked someone to correct my grammar and that was that. In the second and third part of that fic I didn't even do that, I tried to correct everything myself. Part 4 of my series I asked a beta to help me, it was wonderful. It's the best part of my whole fic and I'm forever grateful for that beta. We weren't the best match, so we couldn't continue working together. The fic I'm writing now is much longer than anything I ever written, so I needed a good and available beta. I found one, the angel of all angels. You need to find someone that will help you with your story, but also encourage when you feel like complete trash. Believe me, you will. It's important you have someone to brainstorm with and laugh with over your your character's dumb jokes.
4. Your English is better than you think.
I'm not a native English speaker, shocker right? No, I'm joking, I'm not the best. BUT I'm understandable, right? That's important. You don't need to have fancy words to write a story. Use the words you know and if you want to improve your vocabulary, do that, with time. You don't need to be an native speaker in a day, it takes time. I'll link some good sites for vocabulary.
5. Read more fics
A good way to improve your vocabulary, read more fics. You clearly enjoy it, use it to improve yourself. Not only for vocabulary but for the plot, characterization, world-building, etc. Take in the things you want to remember, forget the rest.
6. Copy and paste
Maybe a bad thing to say, but copy and paste things you like. If there's a sentence in a fic or book you like, copy it. Of course, don't just paste it in your fic, but take inspiration out of it. Why do you like it so much? Why does it come over so good? Any words you want to use? Is the structure of the sentence appealing? Think about it, so you can improve your fic. Especially with areas you struggle with, take a look at other works.
7. Smut is scary, but don't be scared to try.
Is smut something you want to write? You don't have to, but if you want, don't be scared. As someone who wrote two smut scenes in her life, I'm struggling, but I'm trying. Take all the tips above this and just try. Things may go terribly wrong, but that's why you're practising.
8. Research research research!
Things like smut, fantasy, minority groups. You can't just write about it without any knowledge, research it. Articles, youtube videos, blogs on tumblr, etc. A simple kiss scene can be difficult if you have no knowledge about it, read people's first kiss stories or something like that. Want to try and write BDSM, read about it on a BDSM blog. Research the heck out of it.
9. Just to say it again. DON'T COMPARE YOURSELF WITH OTHERS.
Just to summarise, you're you, don't try to be someone else. You're writing style isn't worse than someone else's, it's just different. It makes your work recognisable, your text original, your hours of writing easier. Someone told me I can write young people really well, I owned it. Find what you're good at and own it.
Now that I have given you some important tips to start, I'll answer your question. How to go about writing fiction?
Everyone is different first of all, so please don't take my word for it. This is my routine, I just made up.
1. What do you want to write?
Is it your own idea, a prompt, a fic fest, an exchange?
2. What universe does take part in?
Does take place in the real world or a fantasy world? The past, present or future? Realistic or supernatural? Which country?
3. What is the goal?
Are they supposed to be lovers at the end? Do they have to defeat something/someone? A quest? Where do you want to end the story?
4. Where does it start?
Where does your story start? At the birth of your characters? In the future and you work your way back? In the middle? When your important characters meet each other for the first time?
5. What does it take to get from start to finish?
What happens in the story? What developments happen? Is it a road trip and your characters need to get closer, how do they do that?
6. What are some subplots you want to add?
Are there things that don't really matter for your goal, but you want to add? Friends to lovers but maybe they help someone's mom out one day.
7. Who are your characters?
Their personalities, appearances, quirks, relationships.
8. Who is the protagonist?
Who is the story about? Who is the main character?
9. In whose point of view is it?
Who is telling the story? You, the protagonist, the love interest, a random bystander, etc?
10. Outline.
Write down what you want to do with your story. Every scene needs to be written down. You can always change it of course.
11. Write, write and write.
Take all the tips and write.
I want to give you some links I always use. I will also recommend some blogs.

Alone Amongst the Gum Trees Part 4 - Digital News Report: Australia - A Murdoch Review
NOTE - this article has been migrated to Medium. As of 2021, A Taswegian Abroad will be closed down, and all of my writing will be published on my Medium profile.
---
After seeing a significant public outcry to my story based on a response to Sally McManus on twitter - I recently spoke with the ABC on being an Aussie overseas and the challenges we’ve faced getting home. The failure once again of Morrison’s government to provide enough vaccines and a proper quarantine system (covered up by the Murdoch Press protection racket) is having real implications on everyday Australians.
I strongly believe that for this to change, the media needs to perform its function of holding both elected officials, and their peers in the press, accountable for such actions.
Until Australia has reestablished media fairness among the press, improved media literacy amongst its citizens, and have mostly removed the cancer of Murdoch’s News Corp dominating mainstream media, we will never break this cycle of government ineptitude, gaslighting, negligence, and outright corruption with little to almost zero accountability.
You don't need to look far for proof. The ones that immediately come to mind for me:
2020 Bushfires and consistent climate change denial - "I don't hold a hose mate"
Freedom of speech is threatened where internet comedians get arrested in their own homes for making jokes about a LNP Deputy Premier
Kate and the horrendous Christian Porter alleged rape case
The four stage plan to make a plan about having a plan for Covid, 18 months into the pandemic, with literally no dates or vaccination targets.
Back in March, I caught onto calls for a Murdoch Royal Commission by former prime minister Kevin Rudd, and since then I’ve been keeping a very sharp eye on the Australian media landscape.
Despite over 500,000 petition signatures and the ramping exposure by Rudd online (leading to a full senate enquiry), the Murdoch press is doing its best to discredit, misdirect, or, blatantly ignore the storm that’s brewing. A couple of major things have caught my attention since that date.
News Corp outlets are still consistently cowing their competitors at Nine, Seven, the ABC, and more into towing the pro-Coalition narrative THEY choose, or, risk facing character assassination. This applies to everyone who dares step out of line: reporters, ministers, producers, senators, editors, presenters, janitors… no one is safe.
This sort of behaviour and influence is not easy to show on graphs and charts, but if you read between the lines, you can see it. Let me show you.
Tumblr media
The ABC Presents the Data
In April of 2021, the ABC published a fact-file article outlining the power of the Murdoch press - the first article from an at least somewhat reputable source addressing this that I’ve seen on this topic.
The biggest things I took from it are that despite there seeming to be a diverse ownership pool across many mediums, News Corp (Murdoch) newspapers significantly dominate the national market for print papers, and, have recently been crowned leaders of the #1 source of news for Australians: social media (via mostly viral, opinion, and video based content primarily from News.com.au and Sky News pages on Facebook and YouTube).
Remember this point - spoiler alert: it’s important.
At the recent senate enquiries, News Corp claims there is in fact diversity - focusing on different mediums such as online, social media, radio, television etc. available to represent “diversity”. This is response refers to medium diversity, and is quite frankly a misdirection based on a technicality to avoid the real question. Classic News Corp.
Rudd says “each story published online or broadcast over the airwaves finds its point of origin in a print story, often a Murdoch print story". The former PM is referring to content diversity where factual reporting reigns supreme, and different points of view are given equal time in the sun without the blurring of opinion and fact.
As Kevin likes to say: “pigs might fly”
While you might be thinking “so what? News Corp is strong in print and social, Nine is strong for television and online news, ABC is strong on radio and social, Seven is strong on radio and television etc” - I’d like to ask you a question: where then is the accountability for elected officials in the media?
The Murdoch press won’t say a word about the Coalition’s ever growing laundry list of corruption, negligence, ineptitude or incompetence, but if a Labor politician sneezes, they’re likely to be labelled a Covid super spreader on the front page of 15 national and state papers the next day.
How about this doozy from the Herald Sun in May 2021 after Dan Andrews quite literally broke his back and took medical leave:
Tumblr media
I didn’t see one peep from the Murdoch reptiles about Morrison's three day actual disappearing act only last week after his bogus "AstraZeneca is OK for under 40’s / go to your GP” comments.
The key thing to point out here is that the news provider who ranks number one in Australia's largest news medium (social media) is a well known right wing protection racket that doesn’t show any signs of slowing down, and there's mountains of evidence that exists to prove they don’t play a fair game.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Let’s Go To the Numbers
To really drill down into how important online media control is, I found the Digital News Report: Australia 2021 (i.e “the report” for the rest of this article), recently published by the University of Canberra by way of the Reuters Digital News Report: 2021
Below I've outlined a number of key headers from the report, and more specifically tried to point out exactly where Murdoch and News Corp are exploiting and manipulating their way into control. The data shows us both what has been going on, and the direction it will likely continue in.
Having worked in digital marketing for the better part of the last four years, I couldn’t wait to dive into this data and explain just how much of a rort this all is for the sake of profit.
1: Local News
Replaced by Murdoch Sky News, Invests in Social Media
“For ‘hard news’ such as local politics, economy, crime and health, local news consumers continue to turn to traditional local news outlets, such as the newspaper or TV. However, for most other news and information, consumers are using internet search and other internet sites to get localised information.”
Tumblr media
The report tells us that:
“2020 was a difficult year in Australian news sector, with news companies closing or suspended. This is in part a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it reflects a longer-term gradual decline in newspaper consumption that is replaced by online offerings”
So why did the BBC report in 2020 that Murdoch shuts 112 Australia print papers in major digital shift? CNN covered it too, as did the Guardian. I couldn’t find anything on a Murdoch owned site or outlet. That’s because Rupert is rolling out “Sky News Regional” to replace them all.
Tumblr media
The report outlines:
“This year’s data highlights the important role of newspapers in generating a sense of community, particularly among older news consumers . Further, newspapers are perceived to be the best source of information about local government and politics, which is central to the functioning and accountability of local communities. It is important for industry and government to remember that the closure of a local newspaper not only leaves a gap in the provision of quality news, but also a loss of critical information that is connected to people’s sense of attachment to their community”
How on earth does one far-right Sydney run “news” channel represent hundreds of regional communities? Answer: It doesn’t - it’s designed to influence regional voters to think the way that suits the Murdoch press agenda.
Tumblr media
2: Impartiality of News
Murdoch Cuts ABC Funding via Coalition, Ramps-Up Online Polarisation
The report tells us that 
“traditionally, values of independence, and impartiality — or ‘objectivity’ — have been central to journalism’s mission and deemed important to perceptions of trust in news. However, in the digital media environment, former demarcations between news, features, opinion, and advertising continue to blur.
“News audiences are becoming more polarised and are increasingly attracted to news brands that offer partisan perspectives.”
Tumblr media
What you’re seeing here is that while the data reveals a strong desire for news outlets to attempt fairness, balance, and an impartial approach to reporting - the demographics more likely to use social media (the medium that Murdoch now leads, mostly containing Millennials and Gen Z) are less supportive of impartiality, neutrality and giving equal time. More on this in Part 8.
On the flip side: 
"news consumers who prefer impartiality are much more likely to say they distrust news on social media.”
“Both the 2020 and 2021 data highlight that these traditional journalism ideals are more strongly supported by older generations and those who use traditional sources of news."
You need not look further than the blatant defunding of the ABC to see how the Murdoch Cancer continues to take over.
Tumblr media
So, if the majority of Australians believe the ABC is impartial and does a “good job”, why has the ABC had $783m in funding cut since 2014 by the Coalition government?
Seems to suit the Murdoch agenda pretty nicely.
Tumblr media
3: News Representation
Low Media Literacy in Under-Represented Demographics
“Importantly, a large proportion of Australians say they don’t know if the amount of media coverage of ‘people like them’ is sufficient or fair. Those who have low education are much more likely to say they don’t know. This indicates a lack of engagement and adequate media literacy to identify misrepresentation and bias in the news.
“Combined with a lack of awareness about misinformation, lower interest in and consumption of news, these findings confirm the ongoing need for targeted media literacy interventions"
Tumblr media
The only way the public can push back against misinformation is by knowing they’re witnessing it first hand. That does not suit what Murdoch is selling.
Misinformation breeds confusion, smoke and mirrors, and is aided by political spin, gaslighting and stone throwing to keep people moderately confused and ultimately giving up on understanding the “truth”, or, deciding their own convenient version of truth.
The closure of the Australian Alternative Press due to revoked funding by Nine and News Corp in 2020 should be enough to tell you the media landscape is gravitating consistently to the right.
4: News Access
People Losing Interest, Murdoch Keeps the Elderly Onside
Tumblr media
As traditional mediums (television, radio, and print) are on the decline, social media and online news is on the rise with the aid of mobile device popularity (45% of Australians preferred news devices).
It's not a surprise to learn that during COVID-19, older Australians have increasingly turned to social media platforms to get news.
Tumblr media
“The percentage of 75+ who use social media as their main source of news has more than tripled in two years from 3% to 10%. Among this age group, social media is now comparable to print use.” the report states.
While it’s hard to point this as a direct plot by News Corp, this is still great news for Murdoch. All News Corp had to do was weaken the traditional mediums that aren’t making them as much money, and push the audience toward social media. It worked.
75+ votes still count, and they are more likely to click the “clickbait” articles to make News Corp that sweet, sweet ad platform revenue.
5: Emerging New Habits 
Murdoch Funds the Fuel for the Fire
Tumblr media
Despite people being somewhat varied on their social media usage for news specifically, the important statistic here is that more than half of Australians consume news videos.
The below statistics from the ABC should set alarm bells screaming. To put it plainly:
More people on social media than ever before
Murdoch ramps up social media content (Facebook posts / videos & YouTube videos mainly), then mega-funds paid advertising on said content
Drives subscribers and views through the roof
Overtakes ABC (yes, the one he’s got his politician friends/puppets actively defunding)
Don’t believe me? See for yourself.
The ABC outlines that: 
“Fact Check has analysed audience data for media accounts on what Canberra University found were the two most popular platforms: Facebook (used by 39 per cent of news consumers ) and YouTube (21 per cent).”
Tumblr media
“Data from the analytics site Social Blade shows that Sky News Australia's YouTube channel had more than a million subscribers at the start of 2021, having doubled its following in just six months. Its subscriber base began to pull ahead of Channel 7 and Channel 9 from mid-2020, and by March 2021 Sky had overtaken ABC News”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The University of Canberra report aligns to these trends, and summaries that:
“Australian news consumers are accessing news online from a diverse range of sources including news videos, podcast apps, and numerous social media platforms alongside traditional branded news websites.”
“Although social (media) is the most common main pathway to news online it is common for consumers on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram to say they mostly see news incidentally while they are on those platforms for other reasons.”
6: Trust and Misinformation
Rupert’s Bread & Butter
“Tackling disinformation and misinformation is complex and won’t be solved by platforms alone. Responsibility must be shared across governments, digital platforms, users, news media and society to make sure Australians can access accurate and reliable news and information online, while ensuring rights to freedom of expression are protected.”
Creina Chapman, Deputy Chair, Australian Communications and Media Authority
Tumblr media
This in part ties back to my earlier points in part 3 regarding media literacy - the report indicates that trust remains high where people use both multiple mediums AND multiple sources for news. This is further compounded by the evidence that low educated readers are less likely to know they’ve encountered misinformation.
The report confirms this by indicating:
“The differences between high and low educated Australian consumers in relation to concern about COVID-19 misinformation and their ability to discern it, points to an ongoing need to boost media and information literacy among socio-economically disadvantaged groups in Australia”
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The ABC and SBS still continue to be the most trusted brands, however, it needs to be highlighted that “Local or Regional Newspaper” comes in third (62% trustworthy) - the vast majority of which Murdoch owns.
Tumblr media
In 2020, survey participants were most concerned about Australian governments and politicians being sources of general misinformation (35%), followed by activists or activist groups (20%).
Despite this, 2021 shows that trust in news has increased in 2021 (43%), rebounding off trust associated with COVID-19 news reporting. The report breaks this down further:
“The data show(s) that concern about journalism as a source of misinformation about COVID-19 is very low (9%). In 2018, we asked about ‘fake news’ and 63% of news consumers said they were concerned about poor quality journalism as a source of ‘fake news’, and 40% said they had encountered it. This signals a possible positive shift in perception of journalism after 12 months of reporting expert health advice about the COVID-19 pandemic.”
"The data also highlight(s) ongoing low levels of trust in news found on social media (18%) compared to trust in news generally. Given much of the news encountered on digital platforms is the same as that which appears on the homepages and front pages of well-respected news brands, the findings suggest that the nature of the online environment itself is one the factors lowering perceptions of trust, rather than the news content."
Creina Chapman, Deputy Chair, Australian Communications and Media Authority states in the report that:
“In the context of online news, nearly two-thirds of Australians remain concerned about what is real and fake on the internet. And a variety of surveys over the past 12 months have shown a concerning portion of the population believe dangerous falsehoods about COVID-19 that have been circulating online.
"Any lack of trust in authoritative or reliable sources of news and information is particularly worrisome during a global pandemic, as it may drive people to spaces where misinformation is more prevalent. This, in turn, increases exposure to false conspiratorial narratives that can result in real-world harm to both individual users and broader societal institutions”
Where does Murdoch benefit here? Same as always: smoke, mirrors, confusion, and spin all wrapped into enormous volumes of social media content.
7: Paying for News and Funding Journalism
Conveniently Avoiding the Issue
“To ensure media diversity and plurality in Australia, a mix of substantive, fiscal measures is necessary to support, transition and stimulate existing news businesses and encourage new entrants”
Anna Draffin, Chief Executive Officer, Public Interest Journalism Initiative
Tumblr media
Despite a fair and balanced media being a must-have for any democracy - this is not surprising, given the low amounts of trust for online media content. Overall, given that Australians are not concerned about the poor financial state of news outlets, it’s sad but not surprising that many feel the government should not step in to help.
What is the most dangerous here is the simple fact that when there’s no money to fund decent and ethical journalism, we end up with tabloids, opinion pieces, shock jocks, and anything that just gets you to first: SEE it (an “impression” in the marketing world) and second: CLICK on it. Both of these things make News Corp richer.
Here’s the report evidence:
“A quarter (25%) of left-wing news consumers and 27% of centre-leaning are supportive of government intervention (to assist struggling journalism). However, more than half of right-wing (58%) news consumers are opposed to government assistance for financially struggling news companies."
“This is consistent with the findings that left-wing news consumers are more likely to say they are concerned about the financial state of news businesses (41%) compared to centre (37%) or right-wing (34%) news consumers”.
News consumers who think their political views are represented fairly for online news are another win for Murdoch. This is compounded by the fact that those who think news should take a position are also more likely to pay for that news.
That means if the mainstream media is pro-right wing, for example, then more people look at right wing news and pay for right wing reporting, ultimately leaving the left without funding, and fighting a losing battle. All Murdoch needs to do is discredit who he deems as “left” and it’s game over.
But Murdoch doesn’t need subscriptions. That’s just pocket money for him. With the introduction of the News Media Bargaining Code, Rupert & News Corp continue to improve their financial revenue streams through digital marketing strategies (views and clicks) without needing people to pay for fact based, objective journalism.
8: Political Orientation
Stealing the Centre & Making Opinion the “News”
Tumblr media
Of all the elements of this report, this one shocks and upsets me the most.
The majority of Australians (61%) identify with the centre-left of politics (30% political ‘centre’ and 31% identify as either ‘very left-wing’, ‘fairly left-wing’ or ‘slightly left of centre’).
Only 22% of Australians align themselves with the right wing, and 18% don’t know their political orientation.
Tumblr media
Younger generations have historically been the drivers of progressive social change, and younger Australians are more concerned about the environment and the impacts of things like climate change and equality.
Clare Armstrong, National Political Reporter at the The Daily Telegraph outlines in the commentary that: 
“many young Australians may rightly feel their futures, livelihoods and social activities have been either jeopardised or overlooked by a centre-right government, and subsequently a larger cohort has been pushed toward the left”
To begin in closing, based on this - how do Conservative/Right Wing parties keep winning federal elections?
It’s by doing exactly what we’ve mentioned in the first 7 sections:
Flooding the online and social media landscape with non-factual spin and confusion
This is aided by the bedrock of owning the majority of national, capital city, and regional papers which in turn steer the daily political narrative on television/radio
This is all driven home by bullying competitors into following suit, or, suffering the consequences
There is no governing or peer run body with teeth (or guts) to hold Murdoch and News Corp responsible or accountable
According to the report; 
“Younger generations, who say they feel less attached to their local community, and who also access social media widely for general news, are more likely to seek local news and information from the internet and online platforms.”
As Clare Armstrong also states: 
“Social media has significantly fuelled political polarisation in the last decade as its algorithms, by design, show users more of what they want to see, rather than a broader mix of ideas presented in traditional media.”
In summary - this quote from the Political Orientation trends leaves a long-lasting impression on my psyche:
“Left-wing news consumers (61% of the country) are more comfortable with news that takes a position rather than maintaining neutrality.”
Rupert has them right where he wants them: thinking that opinion is news.

You Require A Business Plan For Online Profit
Make easy money on the web. How often do you see that expression or something like it as you surf the web? There are countless plans out there to achieve that objective. Yet, what a number of individuals really get to that fantasy?
Click  pro business plans for more information.
Tumblr media
Not many. Furthermore, why would that be? The greatest mix-up that most starting web advertisers make isn't going into their task with a "business outlook". They're taking a gander at a web business as a "get rich" plot. They fate their prosperity as it so happens.
To begin a web business you first need an arrangement. With a physical business, this business plan is normally made to pull in financial specialists or secure a bank credit for fire up cash. However, the web is a distinctive domain. A web business actually needs the arrangement to center its endeavors.
The business plan in this sense is to subject your thoughts of selling on the web to an overwhelming examination and check whether your arrangements meet the trial of what you should really make it on the web. Your business plan is your approach.
Without a genuine business plan or a genuine arrangement of assault, all the product, item improvement, and advertising systems are simply hit and miss works out. That is the reason you need a decent business plan from the beginning. Without a business plan, your odds of disappointment are enormously expanded. Your business plan ought to incorporate what you will do to prevail just as what you will do if things flop hopelessly. All points ought to be covered.
Business plans drive you to do the examination that most web businesses neglect to do before they start. This is indispensable to the achievement of your business. On the off chance that you as of now have an item, at that point, you're out in front of the game. A large portion of us doesn't however. Here's the place where making a business arrangement will permit you to consider your inclinations and interests that may make great specialties to advertise items in.
You can start to investigate watchwords spinning around your inclinations to check whether there are open doors for creating items that will address the issues of individuals riding those catchphrases. Quest for those catchphrases that have high traffic and afterward look for related watchwords that are likewise popular. This kind of examination will turn into the premise of your web business plan.
Out of your catchphrase research, you should concoct an item or administration thought you wish to advertise on the web. You should unequivocally portray what it is. What is expected to build up this item? What makes it special? This denotes the main period of your business plan exploration and leads into the following.
Exploring markets goes inseparably with item research. What's more, it isn't searching for those pre-made sites that don't cost you a dime and that makes another person rich. It's searching for applicable catchphrases around which your business topic and the business site will be based upon.
This must be a strong establishment with the goal that your online business will succeed. It's the old banality: "The individuals who neglect to design, plan to come up short". 95% of those that start an online business will come up short. Why not plan to succeed? Furthermore, when you're arranging, don't plan to get rich short-term. That is the thing that so numerous online masters prop mentioning to you what's up to occur.
Have you taken note? Each one of those masters has these huge records they mail to consistently, consistently, or at whatever point. They continue educating you regarding the most recent business opportunity that will make you rich short-term or in only a couple of days. Yet, the following day, they email you again with the freshest method to bring in cash on the web and it's a totally different program you need to join. Before long, you're burning through this cash on programs that will do it for you on the web yet no cash is coming in.
The main individuals that get rich on those plans are individuals beginning them and the enormous rundown proprietors that are advancing them. However, there are thousands taking these masters up on these sorts of "businesses" consistently. In all honesty, a web business doesn't appear for the time being and make you rich. An online business resembles some other business, fabricating gradually over the long haul. You simply need to stay with it.
You need your online business to suffer time. Keep in mind, a large portion of those masters advance business programs that are fleeting. They'll be here today, gone tomorrow. That is the reason they're continually hanging another business conspire in your face, trusting you'll nibble on it a make them some cash today. Tomorrow they'll need to advance another one since they've brought in their cash and have forgotten about you on the line to dry.
Your site is your retail facade. It must be painstakingly intended to draw in guests. Without individuals seeing it, you will have not deals. The site's target and configuration must be considered in your online business plan. Ensure your arrangement is explicit in your destinations and the site meets these. Here once more, the site ought to develop to address the issues of your business and be persevering. A site that individuals return to consistently on the grounds that it's stacked with new and appropriate data.
Your site ought to reflect where you need to make your payment. In the event that you need to make your payment from Adsense promotions, at that point you need loads of educational substance. On the off chance that you're making payments from subsidiary projects, at that point, you need a site that sells the partner program. In the event that you are selling your own item, at that point, your site should base on the advantages of that item and eventually send your guest to a business page that secures the arrangement.
The entirety of this should be viewed when making your online business plan. The arrangement is the pivotal report on which your business is focused on. A business plan makes you consider the entirety of this and focuses your business. It is comprehensive and done before you hop into the web side of things. Don't simply hop in. Have a genuine arrangement for your online business. Thoroughly consider everything before you make your jump.
With an all-around considered arrangement, your online business will succeed. Without thinking ahead and arranging, will undoubtedly fizzle. Go into the web as you would with a physical business and you are walking into progress.

We've all observed children playing bounce rope in the schoolyard, yet trust me, it's not only for kids. Indeed, hopping rope is extraordinary compared to other calorie consuming activities around. Contingent upon how high you hop and how quick you hop, you can consume 500-1000 calories for each hour - that is, on the off chance that you could really hop for an hour. 
The vast majority start with span hopping, where they gradually develop their continuance - they bounce rope for 2 or 3 minutes, at that point rest for a moment (or blend in some other exercise, similar to push-ups), hop for 2-3 minutes, and so on. One major advantage of jumping rope versus running is that bounce rope is a low-sway movement. On the off chance that you are doing it right, your feet will scarcely depart the ground as the rope scratches under along the floor, and you will land delicate on your toes and the chunks of your feet, not behind you - your knees and different joints will much obliged! 
Another advantage to hop roping is the way that you can do it anyplace - in the event that you travel a ton, its simple to toss a bounce snag into your bag and do it in your lodging out and about. In this guide we will investigate what gear you have to begin with hop roping, the amount it costs, what sort of exercises and exercise schedules you can attempt, and where you can get bounce rope exercise and preparing recordings on the off chance that you need them.
As you most likely expect, bounce ropes don't cost a great deal of cash and don't accompany a ton of choices. Hop ropes come in a few styles, from nylon rope to plastic globules to cowhide to thin and snappy speed bounce ropes. A great many people, myself notwithstanding, are most joyful utilizing a beaded hop rope. These sort of hop ropes have a decent weight to them, make a wonderful slap stable when they hit the floor, and offer at least issues with regards to tangling and turning.

Top 5-Trends Transforming E-Commerce and Online Retail in 2020
 Businesses are looking for new ways to solve the eternal mystery called a customer. They are trying to devise new ways to forge connections with them and to make their brands click.  What’s the secret of standing out in the crowd of ‘me-too’ strategies? What are the trends that the brands ar6e missing out on? As we usher in 2020, it is time to find out what they can do to strike a connection with untapped markets and be more customer-centric!  
So, don’t wait and scroll down for the lowdown of 5-top trends of online retail and e-commerce for the year 2020!
 Amazon Prime spoilt its customers with same-day delivery. As if it weren’t enough, the launch of Amazon Prime Air has started to deliver the packages in thirty minutes or even less! No wonder, the 30-minutes-or-free generation isn’t willing to wait anymore or even for a week to get their products delivered. This recent shift in logistics has prompted customers to expect faster delivery and enhance the convenience of online stores with the immediacy of offline stores. And it shouldn’t come as a surprise that eighty-eight per cent of customers are willing to compensate for faster delivery and shipping. Because it is the only hurdle that stops the online users from buying online especially when time is of the essence.
Same Day Delivery ruled the chart as the e-commerce trend in 2018 and is going to come out in full swing in 2020 with small retail stores leveraging this opportunity to boost their business and strengthen their relationship with customers. According to an Internet Retailer Report for more than nineteen per cent of users, Same Day Delivery and immediate product access is an important criterion.
Often customers abandon their shopping carts when there is an unexpected delay in delivery timings and also cancel their product midst shipping for delayed delivery. However, small startups, mom-and-pop shops and retail customers are going to face a tough competition while keeping up with the unrealistic expectations of immediate delivery and resultant expenses.
 Sustainable Fashion
 While consumers these days prefer fast delivery, they are no longer identifying with fast fashion. Green consumerism is the buzzword and the biggest catchphrase. The millennial wants to stay on top of fashion without impacting the environment with their purchase decisions. The new-age brands support recycling and practice pre and post-eco-friendly habits. Be it free-range meat, skincare range or organic cotton basics, people prefer responsible brands. On social media as well, customers have been calling out e-commerce giants like Amazon for using too much plastic for packaging and outing brands for their non-greener practices.
Fashion alone contributes to more than eight per cent of greenhouse gases, and if continues to have its way, it will be responsible for more than twenty-five per cent of the global carbon budget across the world by 2050. While fashion waste can go up to 148 million tons by 2030, the ethical fashion and clothing market is gradually expanding its steps and is expected to increase by twenty per cent.
It takes more than 7,000 litres of water to process a pair of jeans. One kilogram cotton takes up to 20,000 litres of water to produce.
…And if the environmental impact of fast fashion wasn’t detrimental enough, seventy-seven per cent of clothing retailers in the UK believed that there could be a likelihood of modern slavery at some stage of supply chains.
If e-commerce businesses, small or big and retail companies want to strike a chord with customers, they have to take the environment seriously and be a responsible brand. While we have a long way to switch to regenerative and renewable closed-loop model, but waking up to the fact that the plastic, footwear or the cosmetics we once used aren’t ending up in an ocean or a landfill, is incredibly satisfying.
See it? Search it!
 Often customers shop with set goals in mind. They want a particular handbag, the dress their colleague has or the wardrobe they saw somewhere on an Instagram feed - the visual search enables the spot-on and shop its mindset. Visual search is used by Amazon and several fashion stores to search for similar recommendations and to offer more personal and intimate shopping experience to their users. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the next trend to watch out for retail and e-commerce industry in 2020 is the Product Recognition AI, which makes visual search possible. Fashion retailers and startups want to improve their customers’ journey and make it incredibly simple. The visual search makes it possible. With it, customers don’t have to scroll through the endless stream of products, care for the brand or style –upload the image and let the magic unroll!
Thanks to visual search AI, the circuitous purchase cycle becomes a lot simpler. As only one in three Google searches lead to a click, the product recognition AI makes life easier for the startups that can at focus their attention to the customers with a target in mind and are not mindlessly browsing. It is more personalised and more powerful.
Just so that you know that visual search isn’t new, countless applications are using it to facilitate customers. We all are aware of Google Lens on Google Shopping that pulls similar products. Macy’s utilises visual search to blur the line between seeing and buying. Customers can upload an image and find similar products on the store. Designers are using it to search for stock images. Synthetic Style Intelligence Agent-SIA also uses AI to find the right accessories to complete their look, doubling up as a virtual shopping assistant.
 The Power of Influence
 Hype beast found out that influencers are losing their charm on commoners. Some of them are being ousted and called out for scamming (Fyre Festival, remember?) whereas some of them could sell only thirty-six t-shirts despite having over two million followers! Let’s accept it. Our Instagram feeds and lives are oversaturated with inspirational quotes, ad videos of brands with some bit of story in them and them always leading on colourful lives, which we clearly can’t afford. They are selling everything, from vitamins to lifestyle and they are everywhere, be it Instagram, YouTube or TikTok.  Researcher and Strategist Alexandra Samuel discovered three groups of social media
¡         Enthusiasts (Users posting more than five times a week)
¡         Lurkers (A whopping fifty-two per cent of users posting once a week or even less)
¡         Dabblers (Users who post two to four times a week)
Lurkers are the hibernating cell of the social media that don’t care much about influencers or their friends.  The same goes for dabblers that don’t get “influenced” or draw a conclusion from their friends and family’s purchases. The influencers don’t seem to turn this category on as they make their decision independently.
Does it mean the influencer culture peaked? Do companies need to quit influencer marketing?
Certainly not!
Influencer marketing needs to be adopted brilliantly and smartly.  In 2020, businesses would need to understand their customers and broaden their mind towards social media so that the ‘lurkers’ somehow could be included and influenced. The influencers need to work on their CTA to not to look like a complete sell-out and instead work towards ‘nudging’ the customers to make a well thought out decision.
In this year, businesses would like to pay attention to not only the big reach but also their content that can unlock the opportunities for you.  Apart from it, social shopping is going to rule the roost. According to a North American e-Commerce agency Absolute,
§  More than eighty per cent of e-commerce shoppers accept that they rely on social media for a shopping decision.
§  Thirty per cent of customers purchase directly through social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
§  More than 40 per cent of businesses are utilising social media to gain traction, generate leads and sales.
§  One-in-four businesses are selling through Facebook alone.
One of the interrelated trends in 2020 will be the dominance of mobile sites. Social media sites and e-commerce sites are mainly mobile now. Brands are cashing in on ‘Instagram ability’ and creating visually-driven customer-driven content.
If used intelligently, influencer marketing can be used to harness trusted voices and help customers make an informed decision. Aimed to become a more than $10 billion industry by the end of 2020, the influencer marketing, mobile website and social shopping are going to prove its dominance.  
The brands, however, are putting their relationships with influencers under scrutiny. The rise of fake influencers and ‘likes’ no longer being considered as the potential engagement metric, the brands want to leverage nano-influencers, people who have a tightly-knit community as followers.
The other thing to watch out in social space as a booming trend in 2020 is Instagram and Facebook stories that have an engagement of 500 million daily users. Similarly, Instagram trends, polls, interactive stories are also a brilliant way to catch attention and continue to be so.  Meanwhile, this New Year also rolls in Instagram business feature, Growth Insights and “Stories about You” to help a business to strengthen their foothold in their domain.
This the feature will be incomplete without the mention of TikTok –the most installed app of year 2019! Once rejected and ridiculed as childish and ‘royal waste of time’, this app now has more than 800 million active users now. The users are spending more than 46 minutes every day on the app, which is important because the videos on this app are only 15-seconds long! And businesses are using this app to reach out to the user base of this platform, which typically consists of 16-24 years old. However, the app’s sixty per cent of users are based in China and this is where it loses its steam. In order to maintain the dominance of its digital footprint, the app needs to wade through Chinese territory.
Voice-based search SEO
 You have optimised your website content for SERPs.  But it is time to embrace and adopt this new trend in the New Year! The voice search is on the tremendous rise and there were more than one billion voice searches monthly by January 2018 alone. It is estimated that by 2020 more than thirty per cent of website browsing will be conducted with voice, without needing a screen! Similarly, an astonishing sixty-two per cent of individuals have admitted buying products using the voice search capabilities of their smart speakers.
A study discovered that the voice search e-commerce brought in over $1.8 billion in Amazon revenue, which is expected to go up to $40 billion by the year 2022.
The voice-only search allows the users to search through the internet with the voice. One doesn’t need a physical keyboard or have to scroll through several websites on their desktops, mobile devices and tablets.  The programs with voice searching capabilities like Microsoft Cortana, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri are driving the brands and businesses to make their interfaces voice-search compatible.
Voice SEO is different from traditional SEO. While the latter is about ‘fixing’ the content with keywords, the former is based on ‘what people say while talking to Siri or Google.’  For instance, a user might type “affordable data mining services” on Google whereas her voice search would vary to “affordable data mining services in my city near me” or “where can I find affordable data mining services?”
It is imperative to think about customers, and your sales funnel while optimising your business and its platforms with voice-search capabilities. Voice search often entails long-tail keywords and smart searches conducted by customers, which may vary from a business to another. The website should load quickly to ensure a comprehensive voice search across the internet.  The files should be compressed and images should be optimised for search.
More than twenty-two per cent of voice search queries are location-based. This is why the keywords ‘near me’ hold preference and have a higher chance of appearing in the search result.
The Conclusion:
These social media trends will help retailers and e-commerce enthusiasts to level up and establish contact with their customers like never before. From personalisation to interactive visualisation and chatbots, businesses are making every effort to get ahead from their competitors and win this race of ROI, customer engagement and create a strategy that makes them the most-talked-about brand online. Early adopters of commerce strategies have experienced rapid growth and with more than 1.66 billion online players, it seems they were right about hopping on this wagon. Besides these, eCommerce and retail sectors are harnessing data solutions such as data mining, data scrubbing, data appending, data verification, data appending, email appending, data scraping, skip tracing, phone appending, CRM cleaning , Data verification email verification and data analysis for business intelligence and sales forecasting!
The race is on! Where are you? Are you prepared for the exciting future of online retail and e-commerce? Is your business joining the e-commerce revolution or is it going to lag and miss out on the estimated $4.8 trillion e-commerce sales projected worldwide in 2021?

SEO In 2020: What is on the horizon?
Tumblr media
Technologies such as AI, IoT, perspective analysis, automation, AR/VR, machine learning are constantly shaping the foundation for the future. The focus is to make life smarter with clarity and consistency. All of these developments and a lot of others have sizable footprint on how digital marketing is going to look like in the future. Read on!
A school of thought argues that SEO will be dead, and it will be non-existent soon. However, this is not the fact. SEO will always exist, of course in a more redefined form - aligned with the changing priorities of digital natives. It is evolving everyday and getting better to accommodate the demands of searchers. If you look at the ways Google search has become more relevant and focused, you can understand what we mean to say.
SEO is not dying. It is changing because it needs to
Google's algorithms keep changing and the reason is very simple. The search giant holds an incredible search market share, and to stay at the top, it is committed to offer searchers the most relevant, and best ever search results for any given keywords. More than 90% search market share means people trust Google for being accurate, and relevant.
Google search algorithm - Getting better every day!
Offering a searcher with information is not the focus here. If it were, then anyone could rank higher with keyword stuffing. The prime objective is to connect a searcher with most practical and desired information that solves a problem. As a business, you should as well understand that sticking to the traditional SEO best practices might not be always beneficial and evolving with time is the way to go.
Trends to watch out for: SEO trends in 2020
Tumblr media
SEO IN 2020 - as it seems now - shall continue the tradition of developments already established in 2019 - but with more focused intent. Here are a few expected developments -

Voice search is taking over and by 2020; it is estimated to cover around 20 percent of all searches. Traditionally, search engine optimizers would target keywords that were mostly the result of keyed-in entries - usually small. But when a user conducts voice search, he prefers to enter more information - a string of thoughts.
What does this mean?
• SEOs should target long-tail keywords more frequently than ever
• Target featured snippets

• SEOs should make sure their website is offering values across all the stages of audience touchpoints. This includes not just providing the desired information - but things searchers have not even expected. A searcher looking for generic information on "How to write a good SEO content" should find an extensive article around this topic relevant, but what about offering videos with tutorials, link to an upcoming webinar that promises better SEO writing skills, and what about incorporating a feature on the page that guides the searcher to test SEO writing live?
Smooth User experience: Clear, focused information that is effortless to find, and simple to understand
Tumblr media
UI - short for - user experience - is our next suggested trend in the list, and it is very much aligned with the previous entry we mentioned - searcher's intent. Google is giving prominence to user-focused search results, and websites that understand this are enjoying better ranking.
What does this mean?
• Optimize speed load to save on a searcher's time
• Use high quality content that quickly solves a problem, including CTAs

• Headlines, bullet points, long-form content
Content is the New Currency and Kingdom
We cannot stress on this enough. You know content has been the king, and every single development SEO in 2020 will experience will have a content connection associated with it. Content writers have a very important role to play in this.

• Reputation of the content creator to gain more importance
Mobile-first is going to be the new normal

What does this mean?
• Website loading speed on hand-held devices
• Content formation in the devices
• Creation of Mobile-driven content
Page speed has always been and will always carry value
When we talk about SEO IN 2020, we should remember that this is the age of fast information searches. People will not wait. Despite having the best of information, if your website is slow, they will move elsewhere.
What does this mean?
• Optimize all versions of your website for all devices
• Improve server response time
• Use a content distribution network
Brand Reputation Is One Thing No One Can Expect To Lose
Tumblr media
Trust is going to be a decisive factor - like it has always been - in SEO 2020. A lot of factors collectively decide the authenticity and reputation of a website.
What does this mean?
• Your website should be populated with useful content
• The website's partnership should be with other reputable websites
• An increased flow of reviews that are positive help brand building
• Number of complaints published about the brand online also matters
Localizing search is the normal
Local search results are gradually making inroads to mainstream, and over the years, it is going to be the number one thing of prominence in the optimization industry. Of course local SEO is already dominating, but it is going to be more crucially important soon.
What does this mean?
• Localize content
• Claim your Google listing
• Invest in a full-fledged local SEO campaign
New Age Technologies To Redefine New SEO Practices
Tumblr media
When new age technologies join SEO, expect what happens? Awesome results and Smart Outcomes!
Artificial intelligence can help marketers gather smart insights to site performance. With pinpointed data, better competitor analysis can be done. AI can be holistically used across content marketing tactics. With AR, local SEO will be more important, accuracy of information will help improve user experience.
Time is unpredictable, and future is a mystery. No one has ever lived in the future so we can only predict how would it look like based on what we are living today. Be it SEO trends in 2020 or thereafter!

Tumblr media
"I eat like a winged animal, for what reason do I put on weight?" When somebody says that, I ask them "What kind or a flying creature a sparrow or a vulture"? Studies showed that there is an immediate connection between's an individual being dormant and weight gain. Specialists state that it is dormancy, not overabundance eating that can include abundance muscle to fat ratio.
Losing abundance bodyweight is straightforward when one pursues certain precise

clueless.
For example, I as of late chatted with a lady who was following a notable
diversified eating routine arrangement. Her "diet advisor" suggested that she ought not

conceivable. In the event that you practice while slimming down, you won't lose significant muscle tissue.
Weight The board

calories will expert vide the body with enough vitality to enable every real capacity to
occur. Regularly, less calories are not viewed as sound for the normal individual.
The precise blend of starches, fats, and proteins in this 1200-1500 calorie differ.
For the most part, a sound eating routine ought to be high in starches admission, low in fat and
protein. Check with your doctor for proposals. Your eating routine ought to likewise:
I. Fulfill all supplements needs with the exception of most vitality needs.
2. Be satisfactory to meet individual tastes and lifestyle.
3. Limit appetite and low vitality.

Exercise

Rhymtic movements. Model: running, strolling climbing, swimming, cycling

A Summary of All Changes in the Fortitude Revision So Far (Chapters 1-35)
Rather than submit individual posts each time I update the Fortitude revision (aka Epic Edit), I’ve decided to outline all the changes in one continuous summary post, and I will reblog this same post with updates until the revision is complete. 
Every chapter has received a thorough editing to improve style and flow, and many have been almost completely rewritten. This summary outlines changes to the story or characters. Details after the break:
Chapter 1
- Trimmed down and/or improved background info and general descriptions. Some sections have been placed in other chapters for better, more gradual pacing through the background story (I hope – this was very difficult!). - Removed the Council member Lord Pierson, simply because I couldn’t remember his purpose, lol. He seemed redundant to Lord Timothus. - Gave the ministers all last names. - Briefly explained the Alliance and made Impa Hyrule’s representative.
Chapter 2
- Introduced Lady Ariella and made her the Chamberlain, which is basically the castle housekeeper. - Edited more background info - Described the throne room (which is called the Audience Chamber) - Changed the conversation with Zelda’s ladies-in-waiting
Chapter 3
- Edited the conversations between Link and Zelda to sound more natural - Removed scene between Vasilis and the necromancer (too short to be important and no longer fit timeline, removing it also adds to the mystery) - More background info changes
Chapter 4
- Edited the conversation between Link and Zelda - Trimmed down the journey to the rendezvous site - Impa accompanies Zelda at the rendezvous - Improved the conversation between Zelda and Ashton
Chapter 5
- Basically unchanged, just lots of rewording and general polishing
Chapter 6
- Edited the scene between Link and Zelda
Chapter 7
- Placed a section from Ch 8 at the end
Chapter 8
- Added a new section during the journey to the camp - Ian accompanies Zelda (and Adam and two other guards) - I dropped subtle hints regarding Zelda’s pregnancy, so her miscarriage seems less random (and so her loss of magic is consistent throughout the story)
Chapter 9
- Basically unchanged, just lots of rewording and general polishing
Chapter 10
- Gave the Alliance city a name: Antheia - Removed Adam Carlen’s hearing scene – summarized instead (distracts from the main plotline, not important enough for a whole scene) - Impa leaves sooner - goes to Antheia to inform the Alliance of Ashton’s use of dark magic - Ashton does not have his second staff when he storms the castle (this will be important in coming chapters)
Chapter 11
- New scene added with a conversation between Ashton and Vasilis hours after Ashton conquers Hyrule. I felt I needed to set the tone of Ashton settling into Hyrule Castle. I also wanted to explain a few things that were previously left unmentioned. - Zelda’s conversation with Siena has been changed:      - Siena tells her the Hylian soldiers are being kept in a Vandelian prison (I was pretty vague about what happened to them last time, so I changed it to make more sense)      - Zelda does not promise to have Clef released (she doesn’t have that kind of influence this time)      - Siena tells her an awful rumor about Link is spreading, and some people are angry or fearful enough to believe it - middle class and nobles alike.
Chapter 12
- The background story of Link’s narrow escape from death during the Retribution War has been altered to make more sense (realistically Link could not have been delivered to Hyrule Castle on horseback due to his distant location and the seriousness of his injuries). - Zelda does not plead for Clef’s release to Ashton but instead demands to know the awful rumor about Link. Ashton tells her in front of the court, and she pleads with them not to believe his lies. - Ashton also tells her the Alliance came and went while she was ill, they apparently bought his lies and chose to watch him from afar (as Zelda feared they would).
Chapter 13
- Zelda plans to meet with the other tribe leaders of Hyrule and search for the Triforce of Courage. - A section from the old version was removed – when she overheard some grounds people talking about Shade. In reality they would be too afraid to say such things within earshot of the Vandelian guards. This time she hears about him from Siena and at court – which makes more sense anyway. - Zelda does not seek out Shade; he interferes with her attack in the alley by chance.
Chapter 14
- The scene with Ashton and Vasilis has been changed – Vasilis is concerned about the Alliance discovering the second staff and about Link escaping the necromancer’s lair. - Most of the dialog between Link and Zelda has been rewritten and some changes have been made: - Link plans to go rescue the Hylian soldiers. - Link does not tell Zelda to stay at the castle. I realized he absolutely would not send her back to Ashton >.> Face palm moment there. Instead Zelda chooses to stay to keep the Vandelians off his back while he organizes the Resistance. - Zelda convinces Link to take the Ocarina (I realized she would not take no for an answer after everything that’s happened >.>), and he promises to return it.
Chapter 15
- Removed Siena’s third visit - redundant, unnecessary - Removed Great Fairy scene - that was a weak attempt to start the gradual downward spiral Hyrule faces with Ashton on the throne, but in retrospect it felt like random filler - Took one of Zelda’s visions from 16 and placed it at the end
Chapter 16
- Added a little more background info on Link’s and Zelda’s past - Added a small part where Zelda gets the Ocarina back
Chapter 17
- Nabooru talks about the rescue mission Link mentions in 14 - The necromancer’s lair is located in a place called Gerudo Chasm - More Gerudo accompany Zelda and Nabooru to the lair - Zelda finds Link’s wedding ring in the lair
Chapter 18
- Improved the dialogue/interaction between Link and Zelda to feel more natural - Link talks about the first time his scar spread. (There is now a specific trigger/pattern that will become evident in future chapters.) - The book they find in the necromancer’s lair has been changed a bit – it’s now a journal containing an account of the Imprisoning War (the torn page they find still contains the prophesy they can’t read) - Zelda returns Link’s wedding ring - I moved some conversation around to better work with the flow of the chapter
Chapter 19
- Improved the dialogue/interaction between Link and Zelda to feel more natural - Link asks her not to return to the castle, but Zelda is too terrified to do it (for multiple reasons, primarily Link’s safety) - Zelda doesn’t freak out about the necromancer telling Ashton about Link – I figure that would have already occurred to her (it still comes up but differently) - Zelda asks Nabooru to help keep her informed about Link’s scar - Link tells her there may be a second staff
Chapter 20
- Changed some details about the funeral as well as Zelda’s thoughts (some parts felt digressive or repetitive) - Ian is present - Renae and Kinsley speak (though I wrote a bit of dialogue for Kinsley only; the rest is summarized) - This chapter concentrates more on the public and how they react to the funeral. - Zelda’s interaction with Ashton has changed – Alicia is not present (I felt it was too similar to a scene in 12). Her treasonous comments will happen in a later chapter. - Zelda decides to find the staff, not destroy it (since they need it as evidence against Ashton).
Chapters 21 & 22
- Zelda still uses Ashton to get into his bedroom and find the staff. She does find it, but she fails to obtain it. - The necromancer makes another “deal” with Ashton regarding Link. - Link does not reveal himself, and Ashton keeps his survival quiet by locking Zelda in the dungeon. - There is no annulment, since Link is still declared dead. - Heather visits Zelda in the prison (under Ashton’s orders). - Zelda asks Heather to sneak her the Ocarina, which she uses to escape and find Link. - Zelda finds Saria in the Sacred Forest Meadow, and Saria brings her to the Resistance camp for the first time. (Link is not there.)
Chapter 23-25
- Zelda is brought to Goron City after she loses consciousness. There she speaks with Darunia for the first time in the story, so I pulled some text from Ch. 29 and posted it here instead. Darunia tells Zelda where Link is. - Those obnoxious Resistance members that mistreat Zelda in Ch. 23 have been deleted, mainly because I don’t think such amateurs would have direct access to Link. He’s too important. Only people he really trusts would work with him directly (outside the camp), and he would be better protected for the sake of secrecy. - The Resistance hideout in Kakariko Village is in Cleia’s cellar, not Impa’s house. Vandelians have claimed Impa’s house for their own amusements. - Since the annulment hasn’t happened, Link and Zelda’s conversation has been altered (Link is not so cold this time around). Their conversations in Ch. 24 and 25 have also been edited accordingly. - Zelda (willingly) tells Link she’ll stay with him in Ch. 23 but she still ends up surrendering to the Vandelians to create a diversion, so she’s unable to keep her word (for now).
Chapter 26
– Zelda’s visions in the very beginning are new. – Zelda fights back and tries to flee the castle before she passes out – The scene where Maddox treats Heather has been altered to flow better. – One of the biggest changes to the story overall: Zelda does NOT agree to sign the annulment. I was never happy with that part of the story, but at the time I thought Zelda didn’t really have a choice. After all the changes I’ve made, I felt it no longer made sense for Zelda to bend to Ashton’s wishes. To start, she has every intention of leaving the castle as soon as possible, so why break her vows to Link when Kaepora might turn up with the Ocarina at any moment? Second, Ashton has publicly declared Link dead, so he risks Zelda publicizing the annulment if he forces it on her – which would reflect pretty badly on him, since he lied about Link’s death. The last thing he needs is people doubting his word. Zelda knows this, so she uses it to her advantage. Also, Ashton doesn’t want to keep Zelda in a cell. He wants to parade her about and marry her before the entire kingdom – putting her in prison isn’t nearly as fun for him. Zelda knows this as well, so she calls his bluff. This scene is meant to show how Zelda and Ashton are playing a twisted game of sorts, each seeing how far they can push each other. Ashton may have sole rule over Hyrule, but Zelda knows too many of his secrets.
Chapter 27
– No one, not even Heather, knows about Zelda’s pregnancy. Zelda fears that telling anyone would endanger not only the baby, but the person sharing her secret. – Only those two women suspect Zelda’s pregnancy, and Zelda quickly fabricates another explanation. These women represent the fact that not everyone supports Ashton and that some do fear for Zelda. It also shows how increasingly difficult it will be for Zelda to keep her secret, which emphasizes her desperate need for the Ocarina. – The scene where Zelda treats Heather’s wounds has been significantly expanded to build Heather’s character and develop her bond with Zelda. Heather’s and Adam’s background has also been edited slightly – Adam now excels at carpentry instead of cooking (so that will be changed in 29 as well). I felt this change better suited Adam’s character as well as the OoT universe, since there are actually carpenters in Kakariko in OoT. Another bigger change is that Zelda does not tell Heather that Link is alive. – The scene where Ashton presents Zelda’s gown for the engagement gala has been altered. Zelda is still troubled by the gown, but I chose to dwell on it only briefly. Zelda acknowledges her humiliation, but she has much bigger concerns on her mind. Zelda also reacts to Ashton’s advance and instinctively twists his wrist. This demonstrates the growing tension between them – Ashton knows she’s not helpless, and Zelda knows she can’t lash out like that. All she can do is cause as little damage as possible until the Ocarina arrives. – I also moved the engagement gala to the beginning of Ch. 28.
Chapter 28
– The scene where Zelda is dressed for the gala has been removed – it felt utterly pointless in retrospect and didn’t demonstrate any tension that hasn’t already been established. – The gala is significantly altered. Zelda’s brief flashback to her engagement party with Link is has been removed because I didn’t think she would daydream about something like that, given her current circumstances. All she can think about is the present and her immediate concerns. As the night progresses, however, she does start to feel as though she’s been thrust into the past, and it haunts her. During her walk she sees one of Ashton’s lovers (something she dealt with back during their first engagement) and remembers how Link convinced her to defend her own happiness. Ashton then appears to reestablish his control over her. The private “exchange” between Zelda and Ashton shows how unpredictable and possessive Ashton has become, but it also shows that beneath his horrid exterior he is a damaged, misguided person, desperately trying to reclaim the past. – Zelda’s conversation with Alicia is new, but it did replace a similar conversation I removed from an earlier chapter (and gives Zelda reason to later ban Alicia from the court for treasonous behavior). Zelda is also dancing with Ashton when she faints instead of some random lord. – Maddox doesn’t have the chance to figure out that Zelda is pregnant, since her escape is completely changed. I wanted to create a stronger sense of urgency compared to her previous escape. That she left Ashton in the middle of his gala made it all the more satisfying, I think. :D – The scene where Zelda and Heather take refuge in the Temple has been removed because Zelda loses consciousness. I had to cut it for the sake of pacing, but I might reinsert it somewhere else in the story if I see an opportunity. – Zelda’s reunion with Link has been completely rewritten. I felt the chapter flowed better without the scene where Link finds her and Heather in the Sacred Forest Meadow. I wanted to focus on the strong sense of relief shared by Link and Zelda, but I also emphasized the difference between Link and Ashton. This is symbolized in the way Link removes the uncomfortable gown and accessories that Ashton forced Zelda to wear.
Chapter 29
– The first scene with Ashton has been altered to make sense with the changes to Zelda’s escape. He also questions Kinsley instead of Maddox. I wanted to emphasize Ashton’s growing paranoia/irrationality in this scene. I also hinted at his plan to hire Jedrek Khar, so it doesn’t feel so random later on. – Originally there were two scenes between Link and Zelda–one where she wakes in the middle of the night and one where she has breakfast with Link. Those two have been replaced by one new scene taking place in the morning. I don’t remember why I did two in the first place, but it was unnecessary, and I really wanted to improve the conversation/banter between Link and Zelda. – Link is more aware of Zelda’s nervousness about the people of the camp distrusting or even resenting her (as well as her fears about the baby). – When Link and Zelda meet with the other Resistance leaders, Zelda addresses them herself. Having Link speak for her in the original was just dumb. *facepalm* – Link still asks Cleia to come and care for Zelda, but it is (and will be) much more fleshed out. It was so “oh by the way” in the original, which was dumb. – Zelda still promises to stay in the camp, but that scene is completely rewritten, and this time Link takes the Ocarina with him.
Chapters 30 & 31
- Zelda frets more about her reputation - A Resistance fighter from Aboda defies orders and rides to the Resistance camp to tell Zelda about the situation in Aboda, he also begs Zelda to come and help the victims of the Black Sleep, despite the obvious danger - Link and Zelda’s argument is not resolved as it was in the original and they don’t discuss Zelda’s insecurities regarding the baby. That comes in a later chapter. - Link and Zelda do not have active roles in the funeral; that is reserved for the people of Aboda. They are attending simply to pay their respects. - I created more tension when Link urges the people of Aboda to evacuate. They are proud and more reluctant to flee their beloved village.
Chapter 32
- Zelda goes to the Chamber of Sages to summon Ruto, Nabooru, Rauru, and Impa so she can alert them that a cleansing might be Link’s only hope of survival.
Chapter 33
- Zelda takes a much more dominant role in trying to wake Link or treat his wound. This includes climbing Death Mountain (through the crater) to speak with with the Great Fairy.  - The scene where Cleia assures Zelda her chances of a miscarriage have lessened has been removed. In a situation like this I see Zelda being very single minded and focused solely on saving Link. I removed her conversation with Heather for the same reason. Both scenes felt like digressive fluff that disrupted the flow of the chapter.  - Another major change to improve the poor pacing in this section of the story: Impa does not return at this point. She is still in Tar Alem and possibly in trouble. Because of this, the Black Echo curse is not yet revealed.  - Zelda visits the Great Fairy in the desert like she did in the original, but Nabooru escorts her there. Zelda does not collect a fairy as she did in the original, but the Great Fairy arranges for one to guide her in the Lost Woods. This is an example of taking some artistic license when minor and somewhat cumbersome gameplay details don’t translate well into storytelling. - Darunia, Saria, and Zelda take Link to the fountain (without Impa). - "Cutting the fat” allowed me to move some content from Ch. 34 into this chapter, ending it where Link finally wakes. This improves the pacing and gives me more freedom to focus on Link’s and Zelda’s confrontation/discussion in the next chapter.
Chapter 34
- Link still wakes in the fountain, basically the same scene but without Impa
- Their conversation in the Lost Woods has been altered, but it’s more or less the same concern as before = Link’s safety and well being
- In revising this story I’ve noticed I had a tendency to address too many personal conflicts at once or resolve them too quickly. In the old version of Ch. 34, Link and Zelda talked about a number of things when they were alone in the forest, but this time I wanted a straightforward conversation about one immediate issue = Link taking a less active role in the Resistance until they better understand what the curse is doing to him. The conversation ends before any agreement is made. 
- Clef isn’t the only one to be hanged this time -- Kinsley has also been declared a traitor. Zelda finds out telepathically from Darunia. I felt a need to streamline that last transition in 34, and I figured Darunia would try to inform Link and Zelda asap, since the hanging is at dawn.
Chapter 35
- I really cut back on the scenes leading up to the  execution. The first time I wrote this chapter I felt pressured to explain a believable rescue plan and then have it play out from Ashton’s perspective. In other words I made it more difficult than it had to be. This time I gave just enough information for the reader to trust that there’s a solid plan, but I keep the details a mystery. Ashton’s scene--when the rescue actually happens--is more effective that way. In this case there was too much redundancy in explaining the rescue and then showing it. The reader doesn’t know exactly what happened, but they know enough to trust the Resistance succeeded without being overloaded with details. That was my goal, at least. In short, I think this approach improved the delivery and the pacing of this chapter.
- I added a scene with Vasilis and Ashton. It introduces Jedrek Khar (though he’s not actually in the scene) and highlights the growing tension between Vasilis and Ashton. Vasilis dislikes Ashton, and he fears what Ashton might do next, but he tells himself that everything would work itself out if Zelda returned to the castle. He’s in denial at this point; he can’t face the gravity of his error just yet. 
- One big change is that Link participates in the rescue mission, when in the previous version he stayed behind. He frees Clef and Kinsley from the gallows and in that act he reveals to the public that he is still alive. It’s a brief moment with a big impact.
- Link and Zelda argue about Link doing stupid dangerous things (again). As much as Link regrets what Zelda has endured since Ashton brought him to the necromancer, and as much as he wants to live, he still can’t bring himself to play it safe. 
- Zelda suspects that Link is struggling with some underlying issue -- that the lack of concern for his own safety stems not only from being Hyrule’s Champion but from a subconscious, incessant need to prove his worth.
