Introducing the newest addition to the website - 

Currently, the team here at Amandalinettemeder.com is working hard behind the scenes to bring you the best experiences possible on the website, and exploring more ways to offer content straight to your inbox. 

The newest addition to the website, and something you will see a lot more of across the web, is...

mediavine’s Grow!

What is Grow?

Grow is privacy forward and it uses ID5’s Universal Login, a privacy compliment advertising solution.

It is also a free in-blog user platform that encourages the reader to create a profile, allowing you to save articles across multiple platforms on the web, on any Mediavine site, where it is activated.

This feature was rolled out late last year by my advertising partner, Mediavine. It has been in beta-testing, and we are now adopting it!

If you’re an avid blog reader as I am, and if you remember the early days of the internet, Grow is almost like having a feed press where you can sign-in and read blogs you love and personally pick out.

Why sign up for Grow?

While this feature is new on the blog, the technology is not new on the internet and may be here to stay, so dipping your toes in the water of future things, and being on the cutting edge, is always good

It is live across 6,000+ other blogs right now, and you only use one login for them all, making it easy to come back to and replay things that bring you joy.

You can use it to save and share your favorites from within any blog running Grow in the blog world.

By using Grow, you are not signing up for my free newsletter or enrolling in The Membership.

It's simply a new tool that is going to help blog publishers better interact with their readers and readers to have a better experience with blog publishers, so I am excited for it!

How to sign up for Grow

To subscribe to and bookmark favorites on my blog and others, sign up for Grow on the any Spiritual Living Blog by following these steps:

  • Look for the share widget in the lower right corner.

  • When you click it, up pops a window with Bookmarks and a Sign Up / Log In button. 

  • Then, you use an email to login on a big overlay screen, just like how you might at Pinterest.

Below is the Grow sign up process in photos -

How to use Grow

On any site where to see the above widget activated, and you like the content you are seeing, login with the same Grow login you used on my site, to bookmark and save it for future reading anywhere it is activated on the web.

When logged into Grow, you’ll also see recommended content based on your past reading, like how it works on Pinterest. 

If you are looking for new Grow sites, keep in mind, Grow is currently customizable for content creators, so the color-scheme and positioning may vary from site-to-site, but the look, size, feel and overall branding will be the same.

As of right now, Grow is open to any and all content publishers, so look for it on all your favorite blogs!

My goal is to have one of the most user-friendly blogs and to provide you with an enhanced user experience through logging in, so let me know how you like Grow as you use it!

The tech people behind it are welcoming of feedback and I can pass it along. It’s new to us also, as we learn to use it, updates will come, too.

So to begin using Grow, create a login using the steps above. Above all, thank you for your continued readership, and evolving with us together, as the internet does the same,
