  For decades, guest blogging has been popularly used as a link-building strategy. But as a matter of fact, it is “the worst strategy” you could think up to build links. Often guest blogging is people’s weapon of choice for link building, and so was the case with us initially. But over time, we realized guest blogging, if truth be told, has no role to play in building links, although that might be the main or only reason you began writing guest posts. Even today, this misconception that guest blogging can help in gaining links continues to float around. This blog will discuss how guest blogging is the worst link-building strategy and why you shouldn’t trust it blindly.

  The success of your content expansion strategy is not gauged by your constant efforts to produce whatever is trending in the market. Instead, it calls for a comprehensive analysis of the needs and interests of your target audience.

While it is not uncommon for the creative teams to work remotely away from their office confines, being mandated to stay home-bound could be restrictive for a process that heavily depends on team chemistry. Moreover, with a continuous flow of stories about selfless service, human sufferings, and the fragility of life as a whole, presumptions on human behavior probably need to or are being reconsidered, particularly when it comes down to creative thinking. The big question here is – in this restored focus on “pure creative thinking,” has a notable change taken place in perspective and approach towards ideation? Is there a need to polish some meta-skills and to have a deeper connection? According to Agnello Dias, Co-Founder Taproot Dentsu, and Creative Chairman, DAN, the frantic churn for newer creative that decreased the lifespan of every piece of creative to a couple of weeks might and should (honestly) slow down. He believes that the race to get something “new” out there often outweig...

Budgeting is always a tedious task. Whether you are saving bucks to pay your rent for an overpriced apartment or paving your way to the internet realm, or both at the same time, it pushes the average person into a strenuous situation. While there are some ways to lighten this insanity, there’s no way to avoid budgeting appropriately without crippling yourself in the future entirely. That’s particularly the case with Google Ads, where each click either represents your business growth or your hard-earned money turning into paper. Moreover, unfortunately, there are scarce resources that take a comprehensive approach to Google Ads budgeting. So it means you will have to fathom it yourself.
