Starting today (July 27th, 2018), Books and Writing Amino will enforce a new advertising policy due to the influx of unwelcome ads and spam:
For every outside link/ment that is ed as a blog, s must make a post in our community, for our community. It must have effort and decent content; if it is low-quality then it will not be accepted.
This includes, but is not limited to:
•YouTube Channels
•Wattpad Books
•Blogspots
•Wordpress
Too many s have been using Books and Writing Amino as nothing more than a commercial outlet, clogging the feed and taking away from the actual content. The Curation Team has received several complaints from s, so we've decided to take further action against advertising.
From now on, those that violate this rule will have their blogs disabled, no exceptions.
We aren't going to go through entire profiles and axe old s, but any new s will not be spared if they break the new rule.
Exceptions:
•s may include links at the end of posts that are otherwise filled with appropriate content. For example, you may a book review/writing snippet and include something like, "If you'd like to see more of my book reviews/stories, check them out @ example.com). MINIMUM 200 words in said blog.
•If you are reviewing a Wattpad/Amazon/Blogspot book or something similar, you are more than welcome to link it, as long as the review itself is in a BA blogpost.
•You may share websites that you use as tools, such as research websites, critique websites, etc. Make sure that the blog gives decent details and why you find it useful.
•If s have prearranged approval from a Team Member, such as the sharing of another Amino site.

is there a template for this. i wanna make a blog about some wattpad recs but i don’t wanna leave anything that could make it get taken down
So... we are only allowed to link our own stories from sites such as Wattpad if we explain things about the story we are linking? Or is it something completely different? I'm very confused.
My main reason for ing aminos such as this is to get people to read my stories and provide to help me improve my writing so I can make something people can enjoy.
Are people allowed to in pms
No.
I don't know if this has been asked so, I'm sorry if I'm repeating any question that has been. Would it be okay to link your wattpad (or any other) if the content in your post is the same as the content in your story on the other website? I do it for other aminos to say that I post in multiple places and these are those places for a just in case kinda thing.
I hope that makes sense
Yes. Just make sure the blog has a minimum of 200 words.

Okay thank you!!
I have a question. I'm working on an Amino that is about writing. Is there anyway that I could make you all a leader pick, make an ad about mine on my page and have it be a requirement that if someone from this Amino ing mine, stay in that one too?
