Is your creativity fizzling rather than sizzling? Hate that feeling. Your creative spark can be an elusive thing. You can be on a roll, writing like there’s no tomorrow with ideas flowing all over the place. Or, creative ideas are non-existent and you’re just…uninspired. This can be especially true when it comes to writing a blog post. It’s easy to fall into a formulaic routine, without thinking of how to approach it in a different, super creative way.

For a tiny word, “of” causes a lot of trouble. It pops up where it doesn’t belong in sentences like “I should of known.” It baffles even word-savvy users in expressions like “too big of a deal.” And it has an uncanny power to promote wordy, inefficient prose. If you grew up speaking English, you never really had to learn “of.” Unlike “photosynthesis” or “gerrymander” or “noun” or any other word that teachers actively teach, “of” is so fundamental to the language that we can use it intuitively al

Blogging is a pain. Not because content is hard to write (worse case you can just hire a writer or agency ), but due to the fact that no one can guarantee that your blog post gets read or not. Just think about it… you spend all this time writing content, but no one can guarantee that it gets seen, shared, or even linked to. So, I thought it would be fun to analyze popular blog posts and see what common characteristics that they have.

Email marketing is one of the most important strategic channels in a marketer’s toolkit. According to UK DMA , 91 percent of marketers rate email as their most important channel, followed by social media at 83 percent. Email marketing’s success rate comes from its high ROI , which DMA states comes in at around $58 for every $1 spent. All this aside, your email campaigns won’t mean anything if you don’t harness your click-to-open rate (CTOR).
