[Get] Content Mavericks – The Greatest Hits Content System
https://preview.redd.it/jgfuu9j6p8ra1.jpg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7f7fce6473fc1105014d7a9abcaeee9f4f8d0826

Who it’s for

Greatest Hits Content is best for you if you run a client-based business that sells a high ticket service, coaching, or consulting offer for $500 or more. If this is you, you’re probably struggling with:

Getting clients without needing to do manual cold email outreach
Acquiring a handful of clients who pay premium prices on a recurring basis
Working with clients who have more money than time
Executing a content strategy that works to acquire high ticket clients vs SEO traffic
Turning leads into clients so you never have to worry about losing one big client
Living month-to-month with unstable cashflow

What it helps you achieve

Greatest Hits Content will help you achieve the following in 30-90 days:

Build recurring revenue by adding 5-10 high paying, recurring clients to your business
Find the right content topics to attract larger clients who want your help
Position you as a “market of one” so clients can only get what you sell from you
Grow an audience you own and can contact anytime you need a new client
Take on a new client whenever you need by sending one email
Run small budget ads to your content to add new prospects to your email list daily
Get off the content creation hamster wheel by doing all of the above with 1-5 pieces of content (aka 1-5 “greatest hits”)

How it works

Greatest Hits Content is broken down into seven parts (with templates, email swipes, and examples you can model). Every part has an over-the-shoulder video training that is 30-90 minutes in length.

Part 1: Greatest Hits Content Survey

TL;DR: How to find content topics using a unique survey method.

The three questions you need to ask to find the best content topics.
The survey template we used to get 104 responses.
How to analyze the survey results and prioritize what content to create first.
How to check if the topics from your survey have organic traffic potential.
How to run this survey on social media if you don’t have an email list.

Part 2: AIDA Article Template

TL;DR: How to create slam dunk content every time with a proven writing template.

How to write the headline, outline, and body of your blog posts to hook in the right readers.
The writing template we use (based on the exact same template we used to attract the Head of Product Marketing at Amazon with one blog post).
Introduction and body copy formulas for the five blog post formats we’ve found that work the best to attract big clients.
Live examples of how to write content that gets clients and ranks on Google.
One resource you can use to outsource your content for less than $0.18 per word, if you don’t want to write it.

Part 3: Three Jabs Strategy

TL;DR: How to get over 10% of your traffic to convert into leads.

How to use “Utility Content Upgrades” to convert content-driven traffic into leads.
REAL LIFE EXAMPLE: The content conversion strategy we used on one blog to convert the blog’s traffic into 10,080 email leads per month.
How to track what individual pieces of content convert to clients the best, so you can double down on promoting your top converters.
How to make sure more of your emails hit your leads inbox so they see your offer (hint: Active Audience).
How to customize the experience for every visitor to your site so you get more conversions from your content.

Part 4: Red Packet Partnerships

TL;DR: How to get 100-1,000 leads in a day (without SEO or paid ads).

How to find partners who can add 100-1,000 leads to your business in one day, using your content and “guest emails”.
The free tool we use to add emails to our mailing list, when someone clicks a link inside one of our partner’s emails. No one teaches this.
How to track how many clients come from every partnership, so you can do more promos with partners who deliver high paying clients.
Three warm partner methods and three cold partner methods. Start with the warm partner methods for quick and easy partnership wins.
The exact partnership script we use to land win-win partnerships with big influencers we’ve never met before.

Part 5: $5 Hit Records

TL;DR: How to run small budget content distribution ads to get daily leads.

The one Google Analytics report you need to look at to see which of your content converts the best, so you can promote it in your ads.
A live demo of how to set up your ads inside the ad network with the exact conversion objective and settings you need to use.
The step-by-step standard operating procedure our team uses that you can follow or give to a team member to set up your ads for you.
A campaign planning template with ad copy, headlines, and blog post URLs so you can fill-in-the-blanks, then upload your ads into the ad network.
How we write ads that get shares and leads. I go over one of our highest converting ads with a 20% share-to-reaction ratio, and breakdown how to write one for yourself.

Part 6: Viral Content Upgrades

TL;DR: How to get strangers to share your content daily (without cold outreach).

What to do after someone opts-in to your email list so you get more traffic to your content without paying more for ads.
Content upgrades vs viral content upgrades. How, when, and where to use each of them to get maximum shares and leads from your content.
The free viral sharing tool we use to get people to share our blog posts. This is 25x more effective than the share bars you see on blogs nowadays.
How to leverage “credibility content” in your viral content upgrades to turn sharers into clients.
A live demo from blog post to social share so you can see how it all works how to set it all up.

Part 7: 900 Word Emails

TL;DR: How to get $500-$15,000 clients (without a phone call).

Four GOATs of email marketing who’ve driven millions of dollars from email. Here’s what I learnt from each of them to run 6-figure email campaigns.
How to use “presell content” to get the most qualified prospects in your audience to raise their hand that they want your help.
How to find the trigger points that get your clients to buy. Once you know these, you can keep using them in your emails to bring on new clients.
Word-for-word examples of how to write your emails, including how to word the call to action at the end of your email so people reply to your offer.
How to have a natural conversation with people over chat, so you can see if what you have to offer is a good fit for them, then bring them on as a client.

2023.04.02 12:44 Agreeable-Jury8683 Bulking is too expensive

I'm spending more than $100 weekly on a grocery shop just to meet my calorie and protein goals, I do live in one of the most expensive countries in the world though where a 20 pack of eggs cost $13. Here's my grocery list just for food which is pretty basic but ends up being so expensive (not including Protein powder which I buy once a month)

Oats
Wholemeal Bread
Rice
Noodles
Pasta
Apples
Bananas
Hot Chocolate Powder
Thai Satay Sauce
Ranch Sauce
Chilli Flakes + Cajun Seasoning
Chicken Drumsticks
2 Packs of Protein Bars (5 Bars in each pack with 10g of Protein in each one)
Pack of Salted Peanuts
5-6 Cans of Tuna/Salmon
Peanut Butter and Jam containers (every 2 weeks)

I don't even buy anything expensive like Salmon but it still costs too much. Is this just the norm when you're trying to bulk?

2023.04.02 12:37 Q_D_V_F How many genders are there?

So my uncle and his family came to visit me, and I was in charge of taking care of my nephews and nieces while they conducted some grown up talking. In my room, while we were playing Minecraft and eating pizza, my nephew comes up to me and asks me how many genders are there? Two, boy and girl. And then he replies that I'm wrong, stating that there are over 100 genders. Whilst knowing that this is a hot topic amongst people, I didn't expect the question to come from my 7 year old nephew. I found his refute interesting and asked him to list me a few, he could not. As a guy who's single and only looking for a mate of the opposite sex, I'm wondering what they're teaching in school nowadays. I've a gay friend and the topic he started has died down, and then my nephew starts a fire in my home telling everyone that there's 100 genders. Let's just say my uncle and aunt left the house with a very gloomy expression.

2023.04.02 12:33 Smack-works Patterns in Metallica song narratives

I want to show the abstract structure of most Metallica's songs. I mean the narrative structure, not poetical or musical structure.
I'm also going to analyze the abstract structure of most Hurts' songs. So that you can compare Metallica's structure to something.
We need a bit of theory before diving in.

Basics

I describe a band's songs as a list of dynamics:

Dynamic 1. ...
Dynamic 2. ...
Dynamic 3. ...
And so on.

("Dynamics" are basically abstract topics.)
However, it shouldn't be a random list of dynamics. The dynamics have to overlap, be somewhat equivalent and have a common theme.
This method of description is key to my analysis. So, please, meditate over the dynamics a bit and think how they map to the examples.

Terminology

This bit of terminology is going to be important:

"Outside world" = something that affects almost everyone.
"Personal world" = something that's important to a specific person (including personal relationships). "Feeling sad" is an event in the personal world. But "falling in love" and "being in a love affair" and "going through a breakup" are events in the personal world too.

All this may depend on context, though.

Metallica

I think most Metallica's songs are defined by those similar dynamics:

Personal world is contrasted with explicitly bad/petty outside world.
Personal world is controlled by the outside world.
Personal world is isolated from the outside world.
The character is stripped from their personal world.
A person is trapped/overwhelmed by the outside world. Has no personal world left.

Every dynamic is about some "strong conflict/discord between the person and the outside world". This is the overarching theme.
Let's see how that maps to specific examples.

Examples

D1. Personal world is contrasted with explicitly bad/petty outside world.

Nothing Else Matters: relationship is contrasted with society. "Never cared for what they say / Never cared for games they play"
Escape: a person is annoyed by attempts of society to control them.

D2. Personal world is controlled by the outside world.

The Unforgiven: society breaks an individual.
Welcome Home (Sanitarium): a person is mentally abused in an insane asylum.
Eye of the Beholder: about censorship and such things.

D3. Personal world is isolated from the outside world.

King Nothing: a "king" left with nothing and no one.
One: a person is completely isolated inside their own body. "Now the world is gone, I'm just one"
The Memory Remains: a star goes insane because her fame remains in the past.

D4. The character is stripped from their personal world.

Enter Sandman: a person gets dragged into a nightmare.
Fade to Black: grave depression grows stronger every day, destroys a person's inner world and takes their life. "Yesterday seems as though it never existed"
Now That We're Dead: death destroys and reunites a relationship.

D5. A person is trapped/overwhelmed by the outside world. Has no personal world left.

For Whom The Bell Tolls: soldiers are trapped in a death battle on the front. There's no escape.
Trapped Under Ice: the name says it all, a person is trapped under ice. No escape.
Ride The Lightning: a person is getting executed on the electric chair. No escape.

Hurts

For comparison, here are dynamics which define Hurts songs:

Explicitly bad split of the personal world. E.g. split in a relationship.
Explicitly bad/good unfolding personal events.
Describing how something personal is bad/good in the context of the entire world or life.
Trying to obtain something personal and explicitly good.

Every dynamic explores explicitly good/bad aspects of the personal world.

Examples.

D1. Explicitly bad split of the personal world. E.g. split in a relationship.

Stay: "Here I am without you / I feel so lost but what can I do?"
Sunday: "The loverless nights, they seem so long / until you come back where you belong / It's just another lonely Sunday"
Exile: people are separated from their home (I suppose).

D2. Explicitly bad/good unfolding personal events.

Wonderful Life: Susie wants to help a man who spirals into his troubles.
Miracle: a person looks for a "miracle" which would stop them from being a savage monster, stop their pain.
Better Than Love: explicitly good personal experience. "Every second is a lifetime / And every minute more brings you closer to God / And it feels better than love"

D3. Describing how something personal is bad/good in the context of the entire world or life.

Somebody to Die For: a person describes how having "somebody to die for" is good.
All I Want for Christmas Is New Year's Day: a person describes how their mood is bad in context of their entire life.

D4. Trying to obtain something personal and explicitly good.

Illuminated: trying to get a moment of personal connection tonight. It turns into some kind of revelation.
Sandman: a person hunts for the Sandman, trying to get some sleep.

The overarching theme is "looking for a metaphorical pain reliever".

Bonus

Here's an extended list of dynamics which define Metallica's songs:

Personal world is contrasted with explicitly bad/petty outside world.
Personal world is controlled by the outside world.
Personal world is isolated from the outside world.
The character is stripped from their personal world.
A person is trapped/overwhelmed by the outside world. Has no personal world left.
There's no personal world. And a character (or a "thing") brings pain to the outside world.
A person or "thing" isolates another person and destroys their personal world.

Here are additional examples:
D6. There's no personal world. And a character (or a "thing") brings pain to the outside world.

Creeping Death: about the Angel Of Death which goes to kill every firstborn son.
Fight Fire With Fire: "Blow the universe into nothingness / Nuclear warfare shall lay us to rest" and "Soon to fill our lungs, the hot winds of death / The gods are laughing, so take your last breath"
Am I Evil?: about a revenge killing spree.

D7. A person or "thing" isolates another person and destroys their personal world.

Master of Puppets: drugs destroy a person's world.
Sad But True: a bad mental state ~~walks into a bar~~ talks to a person.
The Day That Never Comes: abusive Father-Son relationship.

...
Thank you for reading!

For general information, penis are involve of 3 main parts, which is 2 large chambers on the top (Corpora Cavernos) and 1 small chamber on the bottom (Corpus Sponisum). The Corpus Spongisum is the chamber usually used when men urinate and ejaculate while Corpora Cavernosa, is the main blood holding chamber of the penis, here is where 90% of all the blood is store each time men erected. This is the principle understanding that how penis is work out.
For understanding, penis are impossible to enlarge by itself, because blood is already filling the maximum size of the Corpora Carvenosa. This condition prove to be that when men reach the age of 23, human body part are no longer continue on growing as much as when at the age of teenagers. Hence, the only thing can be done is by enlarge the penis size with some exercising.

Corpora Cavernosa is a particular size which limits erection girth of length. Hence, men penis won't be enlarge by it own after it achieve the growing progressive age. The only natural enlargement methods is by stretcher device which invented by scientists and proven by doctors that it works.
The main factor of a good enlargement program is to force the blood naturally fill all the spaces within the Corpora Carvenosa. At the same time, it is putting stress on it to form a better and harder erection. By this, it will stretch and enlarging the blood spaces after a few session. It work just like how a body exercise that everyone is doing on everyday. This is the methods which can help men increase the penis size naturally. This is once of the proven and efficient methods where men can consider about.
Within two weeks time, the penis will become stronger, harder, bigger and longer. The results is amazingly proven to be the naturally and effectively help men in penis enlargement. This methods is proven by doctors and scientists to be the most useful methods that can help men reduce the worries of facing problems in sexual life.

2023.04.02 12:00 AutoModerator Weekly Reminder: Rules and FAQ - April 02, 2023 (Now with updates!)

Below you will find a weekly reminder of our Rules and partial FAQ. It's definitely a long read, but it's worth your time, especially if you are new to the community, or dropping by as a result of a link you found elsewhere. We periodically revise our rules, this weekly notice will help keep you informed of any changes made.
NOTE: These rules are guidelines. Some moderation discretion is to be expected.

Community Rules

1. Kindness Matters

Advise, don't criticize.

Post with empathy, thoughtfulness, and constructive commentary rather than judgment. Don't be an asshole.
Name-calling, slurs (including gender or race based slurs), and insults towards other community members will not be tolerated. Do not attack others for their personally held values, custody situation, marital status, physical distance from stepkids, or economic status; or on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, age, religion, or ethnicity.
No name-calling toward children, including the above-mentioned insults or the term "skids", or terms such as "mini-wife" or "mini-husband."
Comments advocating spanking or any mention of wanting to harm children are not allowed.
This is a support sub, not a judgement sub, assholes are not tolerated. Comments with terms used in other subs to pass judgement on assholes will be removed.

2. No Drama

This is a support sub.

Bickering, nitpicking, and thread derailment will not be tolerated and will be subject to removal at moderator discretion.
Do not repeatedly badger a poster demanding answers, or refuse to acknowledge an answer that's already been given.
Do not use sensitive issues from past posts (either from this sub or other subs) to attack another user, as we are all discussing vulnerable topics.
Crossposting anything from /stepparents to any other subreddit might result in a ban and may result in the original thread being locked. Brigading our sub will result in an immediate ban.

3. Report, Don’t Rant

No backseat modding.

If you see someone breaking the rules, report the post or comment to the mods rather than engaging them in an argument. Failure to do so may be subject to comment removal at moderator discretion.
No meta posts complaining about rude comments, DMs, or general sub issues.
If you think someone is a troll or previously banned user, either use the report function or message the mods to direct their attention to the issue.

4. No Naming & Shaming

No userpings or links.

Tagging/pinging users or other subreddits in an attempt to bully, harass, or complain will not be tolerated. Do not tag other subs, ever.
If you want to complain about another subreddit being hostile to stepparents, do not name the subreddit. "Other parenting/advice/judgement subs" will suffice.

5. No Platitudes

Nobody knew what they were getting into.

Comments like "You knew what you were getting into", "Love them, love their kids!", "They're a package deal!" and "You have to love them like your own!" will be removed.
Comments suggesting that OP is not cut out for stepparenting will be removed at moderator discretion.
Comments like "This is just a part of parenting, deal with it!" will be removed at moderator discretion.

6. No Trolling

We have zero tolerance for trolls.

This is a support sub. Our subscribers do not have the time, nor inclination, to provide support to internet trolls. Posts that are suspected to be trolling attempts will be immediately removed, and the poster banned.
Concern trolling, devil's advocating, gish-galloping, sealioning, and general asshattery are subject to immediate removal and banning without warning or notice.
Any attempt to circumvent the ban by creating a new username will be reported to reddit admins and possibly result in account suspension.

7. No Personally Identifiable Information

Use discretion when posting.

We highly recommend using a separate account for support subs to help prevent being doxxed. Do not post any information that may allow others to figure out your identity.
Do not post photos of children, or any other photo that could be used to identify you or another user on the sub.
Any image that contains a name or other identifying information should have the name or identifying information blurred out. This includes drawings, notes, and screenshots.
Do not link to social media or any articles/blogs where you or another user on the sub is mentioned by name.

8. No More than 2 Posts per 24 hours

Use the daily threads.

We are not a huge sub, but we are no longer a small sub. If you have multiple grievances to air, use the daily discussion threads instead of multiple posts.

9. Follow Reddiquette

Remember the human.

Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life.
Read it in full here.
Downvoting is reserved for comments that don’t contribute, and shouldn't be used to indicate disagreement.
If you believe someone is in violation of the subreddit rules, please either use the report function or message the mods to direct their attention to the issue.
Suspected brigading will be reported to reddit admins.

10. No Porn, Spam, Blogs, or Research Studies/Surveys Without Mod Approval

Just don't.

This is a SFW subreddit. Posting pornography will result in immediate post removal and permanent ban.
Advertising on the subreddit (outside of Reddit's own advertising) is not allowed.
No personal blog posts are allowed without express moderator permission.
No advertising without prior mod approval.
No asking for money/posting fundraisers/etc.
For links to parenting research studies or surveys, please message the mods for permission before posting.

11. Disputes in Modmail Only

Don't argue with the mods on the sub.

Any issues specifically related to how a mod is moderating should be addressed to the full moderating team via mod mail. This ensures that all mods are aware of any concerns and prevents disintegration of the topic thread at hand.
This means to do not message or send chat requests to individual mods. All discussion and complaints about mod actions need to be done in mod mail ONLY. Failure to follow this rule can result in an immediate permanent ban.
Comments in threads asking about mod decisions are subject to removal without notice.

12. Moderator Actions

We aren't kidding.

Users are expected to know the rules before posting. If you are warned or banned for violating the rules, ignorance is not an excuse.
Moderators will remove posts and comments and/or lock threads in accordance with the rules above. Typically this happens when threads have gone off-topic in a way that is not productive for the OP, or comments overall have become contentious or disrespectful.
If a poster continues to argue or to willfully violate these rules, temporary and permanent ban procedures will be followed. Any attempts to avoid or bypass temporary bans will result in a permanent ban. User bans will not be discussed in the sub. Questions posted about user bans are subject to removal and the poster subject to warning/ban procedures. The mod team will not discuss a specific user ban with anyone other than the user involved.
New accounts are subject to manual approval until they are no longer deemed "new" by the mod team. This helps to weed out trolls and ban evaders.
We rely on Automoderator to scan for specific words and phrases that are not welcome here and notify the mod team to review the comment or post. This includes slurs of any type and platitudes such as "Love them as your own!"
The mod team uses a combination of blacklisting and banning when dealing with trolls.
We employ the use of a bot that automatically bans anyone who comments in subs that have historically harassed our users. If you are picked up by the bot for telling trolls to get fucked, reach out via mod mail and we'll get you sorted out.
The rules above as well as ban procedures are considered guidelines only; some deviation may be necessary on a case by case basis and/or at the mod team's discretion.

13. Ban Procedure

These actions are at moderator discretion.

Pornography will result in an automatic permanent ban.
Extremely egregious content will result in an immediate permanent ban.
You may receive a 7 or 30 day temporary ban for first and second rule violations, depending upon severity.
Continued rule violations will result in a permanent ban.
Willful attempts to avoid or bypass temporary bans will result in a permanent ban.
We recognize the reddit site-wide rules of using alt names to get around bans and will ban those as well as report them to reddit admins.

FAQ - About the Rules

What does Kindness Matters mean?

Shortest version? Don't be an asshole. People come here for support and advice, they do not come here to be yelled at or told they are the reason everything is going sideways. There are ways to point out that someone may want to do some reflection on their own actions and reactions without being an asshole about it.
The purpose of this subreddit is to provide support and a sense of belonging for struggling stepparents. We aren't here to pass judgement, but rather to offer support, empathy, and constructive commentary. That does not include "hard truths" or "tough love." Stepparents get enough of that in every other subreddit, we're not passing it out here. Be respectful.
Remember, most people aren't going to come to a sub like this when everything is going great and everyone is getting along. People are coming here when they are down, when they are feeling defeated and stretched to the limit. Kicking someone when they are down is shitty behavior and we don't tolerate it.

What about being kind to the kids?

"Won't somebody think of the children?" Pearl clutching isn't needed here. If you read the Kindness Matters rule closely, you will see that there is a clause in there about name calling children. We don't allow it. We also don't allow people rolling in telling OP that they feel sorry for their stepkids because OP is feeling overwhelmed and overloaded.
If anyone is advocating slapping, spanking, or any other form of violence, report the comment immediately. We do not advocate violence towards children of any sort. The mod team does not advocate any sort of physical punishment at any time.
Venting about behaviors is not the same as insulting the kids. However, if you see a post or comment where kids are being name called or dragged to the point of no return, use the report button. We try to catch the posts and remove them before they hit the sub, but we cannot see every comment without your help. Use the report button to bring problematic comments to our attention. Don't engage in a war of words on our subreddit.

Why is this sub such an echo chamber?

Not allowing contributors to pile on and tell OP that they are a terrible human being who should never be around children does not equate to being an echo chamber. Many contributors here will offer OP suggestions to help them work through their resentments and frustrations, and the most egregious situations are called out. We simply ask that it be called out with respect.
If you feel that a post is simply too much for you to handle without following the rules, move on to another post.
If you believe that a post itself is crossing the rules report it. If the mod team has approved the post, it is because the mod team believes that the OP needs help from the community or needs a moment to vent and move on from their vent. That does not give you license to pile on disrespectfully. Unless it is proven that OP is a bot, assume that OP is a human being with real thoughts and feelings and has posted from a place of vulnerability.

Why can't I tell OP that they are an asshole?

Because this isn't a judgement sub. We aren't AITA, we don't want to be AITA.
Comments with terms like YTA, NTA, ESH, NAH will be removed.
Don't start your posts with INFO either. We generally recognize that as a fishing attempt for more information to pass judgement on OP, and again, we are not a judgment sub.

But OP asked if they were an asshole?!

Their post somehow got past our automoderator. Just use the report button. We will address it with OP.
If you've asked if you are an asshole, a-hole, a*hole, a**hole, whatever, don't be surprised if your post is removed without warning. This isn't a judgment sub. If you want judgment, you know where to go.

What is a gendered slur?

While it seems that everyone understands what racist slurs are, people struggle understanding the concept of gendered slurs. Generally speaking, we are talking about derogatory nouns or verbs that are used to negatively describe people or situations based on gendered terms.
We've gone back and forth on this a few times, and the truth is, we get it, it's your safe space and you want to be able to vent about BM/BD how you want to vent about them, without us telling you how to vent about them. Fair enough. Vent away. What we are going to stick to here how people are referring to other users and to stepchildren.
Examples that are not allowed:
- "My SD is such a little bitch."
- "She dresses/acts like a slut."
- "My SS acts like a pussy."
- "My SS is such a beta male."
- "You are all fucking whores."
- "Any dude who is raising some sluts kids is a cuck!"
- "Little Lord Fauntleroy over here thinking he runs the house!"
- "You're just the bangnanny, get used to it."
Don't call users here names, don't call stepchildren names.
Masking the term with asterisks or other neat little tricks might get you around the bot, but if we see it, we're removing it and quite possibly giving you a time out. The intended word is still there and you deliberately tried to skate the rule.
As there is not enough space to list every term that is offensive and does not belong, nor every situation in which term or phrase may be allowable in context, this rule is enforced based on moderator discretion.

Seriously? You are the language police now?

We're here to talk about stepparenting. And we would like for that to happen in a respectful way. Attacking each other doesn't help. Belittling stepchildren draws in trolls who don't understand your frustration, all they see is an evil stepmonster talking shit on the internet about a poor, innocent baby. Yes, even if that "poor, innocent baby" just robbed you blind and set fire to the house on their way out the door. That's just how it goes.
We are aware that this is a relatively new rule and a lot of older posts and comments contain a lot of problematic language, including some from mods themselves. We are growing and evolving, and rules change as the sub grows and evolves.

What does No Drama really mean?

Pretty much what it says, do not bring drama from other subs into this sub. Do not engage in vote brigades. Do not try to incite other subscribers to riot in a different sub. Don't follow posters into this sub from other subs to continue to harass them. Do not badger someone or derail threads. Do not harass community members because you don't agree with them. There's enough drama in the daily lives of subscribers, more isn't needed.

What is thread derailment?

When a comment chain has devolved to the point where all you are doing is arguing back and forth with someone about the same thing over and over again, you have derailed the thread. Also known as bickering. It's what children do. We assume if people are in a stepparent role they are adults. We expect you to act like it.
If you aren't a stepparent, or in a stepparenting role, consider that perhaps this subreddit isn't for you. If you want to participate, do so with respect. Thread derailment, arguing, bickering, and nitpicking are not allowed.

But what if they didn't answer my question?

No one has to answer your questions. This is a support sub, not an inquisition. Jumping on a bandwagon with "OP is evading the question" in a 20 comment long chain is the epitome of thread derailment. You'll find more information about trolling below and how this might be considered such.

Why am I being silenced? I'm just asking for a back and forth!

Thread derailment, badgering, and nitpicking are considered harassment. Continued harassment of either community members or mods will get you banned.

Why can't I look at someone's post history and comment about it?

No mod in the history of this sub has ever once said post histories are forbidden. What we do frown upon is using someone's post history to attack, belittle, or otherwise harass someone.
Example Post: "My stepkid's mom really hates me. How can I make this better?"
- Okay: "Based on the timeline and your post history, it looks like this may have started as an affair. Unfortunately there's going to be outstanding issues for a long time due to that. Try focusing on yourself and how you can move forward without worrying about how someone else feels about you."
- Not Okay: "Holy shit! You were the OW! What the hell do you expect, homewrecker?!"
Example Post: "I am completely overloaded and feeling very down about myself."
- Okay: "In your post history you mentioned that your spouse wasn't really helping around the house. Has that changed at all?"
- Not Okay: "LOL, you already got the answers you need in your post on relationships. You are stupid for sticking with your lazy spouse."

Why can't we crosspost stuff to other subs?

We can't stop you from doing so. The problem isn't that something has been crossposted, it's when the community that it's been crossposted to feels the need to come over here and harass OP. When we see that happening, we lock the post and start passing out bans. If you did the crossposting, you'll be banned. If you participated in the brigading, you'll be banned.

What if it's my own post?

Again, we can't stop you from doing so. We prefer that you don't technically crosspost, but rather just copy and paste your post. Why? Because inevitably the above will happen. Redditors from other subs will follow you back to /stepparents and start attacking users here. It just happens.

What is "brigading"?

Reddit defines vote manipulation and brigading as follows:
Using multiple accounts, voting services, or any other software to increase or decrease vote scores.
Asking people to vote up or down certain posts, either on Reddit itself or through social networks, messaging, etc. for personal gain.
Forming or joining a group that votes together, either on a specific post, a user's posts, posts from a domain, etc.
We, along with pretty much every other subreddit that has ever had to deal with this nonsense, further define brigading as this: You saw a post on another sub that linked to our sub either via a link in a comment or a crosspost. It was basically saying something along the lines of "OMG, check out these assholes over on /stepparents! They literally hate all their stepkids!" And then you and your friends come over and start hammering on OP and telling OP how much they suck. Congrats, you have just participated in a brigade.

What is this whole Report, Don't Rant thing about?

If you see a post or comment that breaks the rules, instead of engaging, report it. When you report it, it sends notification to the mod team. We will act on it where appropriate. Engaging with bad faith users may result in your comments being removed. If you repeatedly do so, you may end up being banned.

What if I see an obvious troll?

Report it.

What if they are being really mean in comments?

Report it.

What if they are harassing me in private messages?

Step 1: Report them to admins. You can report harassment to reddit by using this link or send a DM to reddit admins. Include the link to the DM, admins can see your inbox and providing a direct link is helpful for them to weed out bad actors.
Step 2: Block the person so they cannot directly contact you again.
Step 3: Send us a mod mail and let the mod team know. Tell us who they are and what they said, send us a screenshot if you can - admins can see your DMs, mods can't. We'll take action where necessary by banning from the sub if they aren't already banned.

What do you mean by No Naming & Shaming?

Just as we prefer to not be linked to or crossposted from, we do not allow linking to or calling out other subs by name. If you see something you want to share, say it's a hot post that has hit the front page and a stepparent is being absolutely flayed, just refer to it as "that hot post that hit the front page." If you want to complain about other places in general, "other parenting/advice/judgement subs" will suffice. Absolutely under no circumstances should you link to anywhere else.

I can't link to other subs?

Do not directly link to another sub. (e.g.: "/insertsubnamehere is ridiculously hostile to stepparents!")
Do not name other subs. (e.g.: "I won't link to it directly, but insertsubnamehere is ridiculously hostile to stepparents!")
Do not abbreviate other subs. (e.g.: "I know that ISNH is ridiculously hostile to stepparents!")

I can't ping other users?

Do not summon another user with a username ping/tag. (e.g.: "insertusernamehere was being an asshole.")
If you are agreeing with someone, it is okay to link to them. (e.g.: "I agree with insertusernamehere, you need to take a couple of steps back and reflect on this.")

What does No Platitudes mean?

Sanctimonious, overused clichés that grossly oversimplify the stepparenting experience are neither wanted nor allowed here. We have all heard it a thousand times before, we don't need to hear it again. It's not nearly as insightful and wise as some would like to think.

Why don't you people understand it's a package deal?

Any comment that suggests that OP should have known what they were getting involved with, or that they needed to understand that the kids were part of some package they needed to accept before signing up for marriage is subject to immediate removal.
This is one of the most insensitive things you can say to a stepparent. Most stepparents were aware of the children, but they were probably not aware of all of the family dynamics.

Why can't you just love them like they are your own?

Demanding that a stranger you do not know love children that are not biologically theirs as if they were theirs can be incredibly damaging to someone who is already in a vulnerable situation. Any comment that falls along these lines will be removed.

What do you mean by No Trolling? I was just...

No means no. No trolling. No pretending to be a stepparent and then whipping out the Greatest Hits Bingo Card of The Worst Stepparent in the History of Stepparents. We see you. We've seen you a thousand times.

What does "concern trolling", "gish-galloping", and "sealioning" have to do with stepparenting? This isn't a debate sub, why are you using debate terms?

That's absolutely right, this isn't a debate sub. And yet, here we are, day after day, having to defend ourselves against this sort of thing. So, enough. No more. Usage of any of these things will get you banned.

What is "Concern Trolling?"

A concern troll is someone who disingenuously visits sites of an opposing ideology to disrupt conversation by offering unwanted advice on how to solve problems which do not really exist.
- Example Post: OP expresses concern that she will feel, and possibly act, differently towards her stepchildren after her husband decides that no, he doesn't want anymore children after all.
- Example Concern Troll pulled from actual mod mail after their comment was removed: "Possible child abuse claims need to be sorted out well before whatever empathy you believe the OP was looking for."

What is a "Devil's Advocate"?

"I'm just playing devil's advocate here, but have you considered that maybe BM is just really tired and needs a break, too?" BM has dozens of different mom based subs alone on reddit she can complain on, this sub is for stepparents. The stepparent doesn't need to consider that maybe BM is just really tired and needs a break.

"Gish-galloping?" What does that even mean?

The Gish Gallop is the fallacious debate tactic of drowning your opponent in a flood of individually-weak arguments in order to prevent rebuttal of the whole argument collection without great effort. The Gish Gallop is a conveyor belt-fed version of the on the spot fallacy, as it's unreasonable for anyone to have a well-composed answer immediately available to every argument present in the Gallop.

And "sealioning?" What's that?

Sealioning involves jumping into a conversation with endless polite, reasonable questions and demands for answers, usually of entry-level topics far below the actual conversation (e.g. "please prove sexism exists"). This tactic differs little from harassment; instead of discussion, the point is to derail discussion, receive criticism (for their ignorance) so as to look like a victim, or to make someone feel overwhelmed and quit talking.

Who gets to define what is considered asshattery?

The mod team, of course! If we feel that comments are out of line, are trolling, are leading up to a fight or "just asking questions", we are going to remove them and most likely ban the offender.

FAQ - Sub Questions

Posting Guidelines for Stepparents

Body text is required, we suggest you use line breaks between paragraphs as a wall of text is difficult to read. Posts that have only a title are likely to be removed. Instead of using names (even fictitious ones), try to use the sub acronyms. It helps our users to follow along if you use the acronyms and not names.
Assign a post flair that accurately describes what your post is about and what you are seeking. If you are posting an update from a previous post, include a link to that post.
Flairs are applied to posts to determine what a person is looking for. When submitting a new post, you should choose a flair that specifies if you are looking for advice, support, etc. The following link flair is available and is color coded with side bar links so that you can search by flair:
- Advice - For when you are specifically asking for advice or help.
- Announcement - Mod Use Only, for subreddit announcements.
- Daily (Formerly TTP) - Mod Use Only, for our daily discussion threads.
- Discussion - A little advice, a little "How does your family handle this?"
- JustBMThings - Pretty sure this is self explanatory!
- Legal - Asking for legal advice? Tag it with this!
- Miscellany - Just a sort of off topic thing? Use this tag.
- Resource - Sharing a good resource or asking for one? This is the tag you need!
- Support - For those days when you want nothing but a good old fashioned cry and some community love.
- Update - Updating us on something that you posted about previously? Use this one!
- Vent - We all need to vent sometimes. Respect the tag as a vent. This isn't how OP talks all day every day.
- Win! - Celebrate those wins with us with this tag!
- Megathread - Mod Use Only, for large mega threads (typically around major calendar events.)

Posting Guidelines for Bioparents

Stepparents is a support community for stepparents, by stepparents. As bioparents, you may want to have more insight into how the stepparent in your life feels or thinks. You may have questions on how to ease the transition for your partner. However, please keep in mind that this community was not created for you. It was created for your partner or your ex's partner. If you are seeking support on how to deal with a stepparent, there are other subs more suited for your situation and your post is subject to removal.
There are some posts from bioparents we will accept:
- Seeking advice on how to support your partner as they navigate stepparenting
- Seeking resources to help you better support your partner
- Seeking resources for your partner
There are some posts from bioparents we will not accept:
- Complaints about how the stepparent is too involved in your kids lives
- Vents about how the stepparent is not involved enough in your kids lives
- "Cautionary tales" advising stepparents to back off
- Seeking advice on how to tell the stepparent to back off
- The Do's and Dont's of Stepparenting
- How your kid's stepmom is literally The Worst
Comments from bioparents that are helpful and supportive are welcome and appreciated. Comments from bioparents that are not helpful or supportive are not welcome and subject to removal. There are several other subs that may meet the needs of bioparents better than we can. We recommend /coparenting, /parenting, /parents, /blendedfamilies, and /singleparents as starting points.

Guidelines for Stepkids

At this time, we do not generally accept posts from stepkids. Comments from stepkids that are helpful and supportive are welcome and appreciated. Comments from stepkids that are not helpful or supportive are not welcome and subject to removal. If you are a stepkid seeking support, we highly recommend /stepkids. It is a very supportive community specifically for stepkids. We also recommend /blendedfamilies as another potential group for support.

What the heck are all these acronyms? I'm confused!

Check out the Common Acronyms wiki page. We try to keep this updated as new terms are introduced to the sub.

Why aren't my posts or comments showing up?

New posters and accounts go through a waiting period before their posts will show in the sub and the comments on posts automatically. During the new account approval period the mod team will check posts to be sure you aren't attempting to circumvent a ban with a shiny new account. Please be patient while the timer runs down on your "new" status and the mod team approves your posts and responses.

Why was my comment removed?

Comments are removed when they do not follow the rules of the sub. These rules are published in several places for your reading pleasure.
Comments are removed at moderator discretion. In some cases your comment may be removed while another remains up. If you find this to be the case, and you believe the comment to be violating the rules, instead of arguing with mods or demanding they remove the additional comments, just report it.

This comment/post is really offensive! Why is it still up?

All moderators are volunteers and have busy real lives. Sometimes things get past us. The best thing you can do is report anything you find offensive or inflammatory. It's the quickest and most reliable way of alerting us to an issue.

I've received a hurtful/unwanted PM from someone about my recent post. What should I do?

If you receive an unwanted/hurtful PM from a name you don't recognize, please report it to Reddit Admins using our handy pre-populated form. Be sure to include the permalink to the message. We've been dealing with a few unhappy folks who like to attack stepparents, and reporting it to the admins is the only way to make it stop.

What are the general moderator guidelines?

Users are expected to know the rules before posting. If you are warned or banned for violating the rules, ignorance is not an excuse.
Moderators will remove posts and comments and/or lock threads in accordance with the rules above. Typically this happens when threads have gone off-topic in a way that is not productive for the OP, or comments overall have become contentious or disrespectful.
If a poster continues to argue or to willfully violate these rules, temporary and permanent ban procedures will be followed. Any attempts to avoid or bypass temporary bans will result in a permanent ban. User bans will not be discussed in the sub. Questions posted about user bans are subject to removal and the poster subject to warning/ban procedures. The mod team will not discuss a specific user ban with anyone other than the user involved.
New accounts are subject to manual approval until they are no longer deemed "new" by the mod team. This helps to weed out trolls and ban evaders.
We rely on Automoderator to scan for specific words and phrases that are not welcome here and notify the mod team to review the comment or post. This includes slurs of any type and platitudes such as "Love them as your own!"
The mod team uses a combination of blacklisting and banning when dealing with trolls.
We employ the use of a bot that automatically bans anyone who comments in subs that have historically harassed our users. If you are picked up by the bot for telling trolls to get fucked, reach out via mod mail and we'll get you sorted out.
The rules above as well as ban procedures are considered guidelines only; some deviation may be necessary on a case by case basis and/or at the mod team's discretion.

I've been wrongly banned/Why can't I comment here?

Due to an influx of harassment from users with specific user histories, we have employed a user history ban bot as described above. If you think this has affected you and wish to appeal, please message the mods.

Why was I banned without warning?

There are numerous reasons that the mod team might opt to move perm banning without warning. Message the moderators if you have specific questions.

2023.04.02 11:50 LuckyLiam1995 Met Archy at the London Gig

I couldn’t believe my luck. I met George And James at the bar who were lovely. Got a picture and had a chat. Also met JerkCurb coming out of the gig, got a picture with him too.
Then as I was walking further down the venue there he was. I was completely starstruck. He was talking to someone who I didn’t recognise. I asked him for a picture and he goes ‘ yeah yeah, do you like Mount Kimbie?’ So I said yeah (I know a lot of his music but didn’t know what he looked like) he said ‘that’s him!’ So Mount Kimbie took the pic :O
So many things I wish I said but didn’t want to disturb him too much. I have a tattoo of 6FBTM that I didn’t show. I did a job interview a month ago, part of the process was to make a presentation of a non-work topic. I did it on King Krule and the battle of creativity and got the job!
Has anyone else met Archie?

2023.04.02 11:23 mak_zaddy Entitled parents betray trust & get mad at me for being upset

So before I get into the story I will preface:

I recently came to terms that my relationship with my mom was a financially abusive one. She demanded to have access to all bank account and My childhood consisted of managing my parents’ emotions and being their outlet to vent problems within their marriage. My parents were anti-vax when it came to the COVID vaccine and openly used fake vaccine passports buckle up

TL:DR parents lied about getting vaccinated and justified it by saying it was for me. Then got mad because I was upset and my financially abusive mom did what she does best: try to financially manipulate me.
Last year, I got married to my partner. During the wedding planning, our city had mask mandates or proof of vaccination to be massless…. It was 2021 so it was a hot topic. We were fortunate enough that my parents were paying for our wedding, and they voices their concerns around being forced to be vaccinated for our wedding. My partner and I made it very clear that we respected their decision and agreed to disagreed when it came to COVID. We just requested that they respected whatever mandates were in place and not use their fake vaccine passports when with us or at our wedding.
Well conversations got heated because any solution we provided were not good enough for my VERY entitled mom because she didn’t want to wear a mask. I struggled with these conversations and a lot of feelings related to my childhood came up. My parents threatened to not pay for our wedding and began using money as a way to control the situation.
It got to the point where my partner & I took a step back and began looking at wedding options that we could pay for. A month later my parents called and notified us that they wanted to move past this “speed bump” by deciding to get vaccinated. My partner and I were shocked, but appreciative. We told them this and reiterated that it was not something we were demanding.
Fast forward to the holidays 2022. During a FaceTime, my parents blindside us by telling us they lied about getting vaccinated, justified it by saying they did it because wedding planning was stressful enough, and then my mom stated that I shoulda known better because “I know her better than that.” The call ended with them saying they didn’t expect a response from us and told us to take our time to process.
Great. The entire week after my first partner & I talked about this and everytime we agreed that we were too upset to talk to them and didn’t want to say anything we would later regret. But after a week, my parents called and started the convo with “what’s up? So are you mad or something?” My very entitled parents (mainly mom) expected us to “get over this” because of their justification for doing it for us. I called bullshit and told them they didn’t it selfishly for themselves and that I didn’t know I could trust them. I voiced my concerned that I know sorry as my partner and I enter into the next stage of our lives and consider children. Almost immediately they translated to thinking the worst and cut the conversation because “they were done with me being selfish.” Almost immediately my mom went into my bank accounts (she required me to give her access and all of my passwords) and cleared them out.
It has been about 4 months and since then I have separated financial ties to my mom & taken away any method that she used to manipulate me into doing what she wants. My dad called to apologize and admit he was wrong. My mom on the other continues to believe I was in the wrong and she deserves an apology.
In the past use gave me v expensive purses & watches - hindsight I realized it was her way of ensuring I did what she wanted and keep me comfortable with her controlling behavior. I joke (because you have to find humor in life) by saying my mom’s gifts backfired because they turned into my golden parachutes to get out from under her control.
Hope you enjoyed this mess of entitled parents story.

2023.04.02 11:21 WhoAmIEven2 How do you know if people find you good looking?

Sat with two female colleagues I've befriended back on Friday for an after work and we had a really good time. As the alcohol started flowing the topics became more and more steamy and we started to talk about who in the office we found hot. They named two older men who do indeed look good for their age, and I mentioned the 44 year old woman who is our office manager.
That got me thinking. How do you really know if someone thinks you're good looking? Not necessarily "i want to do stuff with you" but in general. Obviously if these two did they wouldn't tell me right there because it would make things awkward, just as I wouldn't drop one of their name even though I do find her really good looking.
Is it through body language mainly?
