I had an interesting exchange with a fellow blogger a few moments ago.
He asked to guest post on my blog. Never heard of him. Cold pitch. Never heard of his blog.
I politely informed him free guest posting closed on my blog years ago. I quoted my guest posting rate. He complained about being on a budget and could not afford the rate. He then bandied about the idea of a link exchange.
As a blogger or business owner with a WordPress site, you have spent so much time and effort to launch your online business. For the same reason, you should have as much control as possible over your online presence.
You’ve chosen a self-hosted platform for a reason, and it would be a shame to lose all of your hard work or become tied to a bad web host because you don’t have a backup plan in place.
Email Open Rate is a big point in Email Marketing and a common question I get from my students is: What is a good email open rate?
The truth is that this is a very difficult question to answer given that there is nothing that works for everyone in all industries. But there is a smart working trick to massively raise your open rates above any industry average.
As far as I’m concerned, dealing with your open rate is the most difficult spot in the industry. It’s where the biggest part of your attention is required.
Anyone can offer something good to bribe his readers for their email contacts. Some marketers even go beyond the boundaries to buy email contacts or use harvesters to quickly build a massive list.
But success isn’t at that level at all!

Check the date I published that blog post: March 5, 2020. As of that date I built 53,960 backlinks to Blogging From Paradise. Cool.
But for the heck of it, I decided to check my backlinks again today on March 14, 2020. Peep the featured image for this post. Yep; the sheer power of raw blogging generosity wins again. I currently register 54,575 backlinks pointing to Blogging From Paradise. Gaining over 600 backlinks in a 9 day stretch is nothing to sneeze at. But the more folks you help for free, the more you succeed online. Makes perfect sense.
The Big Apple!
I am currently in Brooklyn, NYC for 1 more day. Back to New Jersey for a few weeks before my wife and I return to Brooklyn in April.
I love New York City. Picture almost 9 million human beings spread out among 5 separate boroughs. Brooklyn alone has 2.5 million people while Queens has 2.2 million people. 2 *boroughs* of NYC are 2 of the 5 most populous cities in ALL of the United States. Amazing.
