[@keto3656]

Some of my blogs have turned into articles as I have taken a short, concise work and expanded on what I wrote through an article. Saves me time, too, as all I have to do is add a couple of extra paragraphs and my article is usually done.

[@spicy1m934]

Wowww..it's amazing

[@thejazzylife1180]

Can you do a video about the point you were able to go full time? Like how long it took you? Also how many days you would upload and plan content.

So if we buy a theme from a third party like 7th ave in your case, how do we get them to install/add it for us like you did? How do they get into our account? Does that make sense?

can you make a video of "privacy-policy" & "terms and conditions"?
