If Shakespeare offered to write a guest post for TechCrunch, he probably would not be declined. The same goes for Virginia Woolf, Toni Morrison, Fitzgerald, or any other great writer who wanted to contribute to the blog of a respected modern publication.

Guest posting, also called guest blogging, is the practice of writing an article for a site you do not own. This guide explains what it is, why it works, and how Process Street built a governed production system that supported more than 300 guest posts published across relevant publications.

Organic links, also called natural backlinks or earned backlinks, are links that another publisher chooses to add because your page is useful, credible, and relevant to its audience. They are editorial votes of confidence, not placements bought, traded, or inserted solely to influence search rankings.

Strong organic link building starts with something worth citing. Original research, practical tools, expert explanations, and memorable examples can earn attention, but the page also needs a trustworthy experience and a sensible promotion plan. This guide explains how to build natural backlinks, assess their quality, avoid link spam, and turn audience insight into linkable assets.

Average revenue per daily active user, or ARPDAU, tells you how much revenue each active user generates on an average day. For mobile apps and games, it is one of the fastest ways to see whether ads, in-app purchases, subscriptions, sponsorships, and other monetization choices are working.

ARPDAU is useful because it connects revenue to actual daily engagement. Total revenue may rise simply because an app has more users, but ARPDAU shows whether the value generated by each active user is improving. Used alongside retention, conversion, and ARPU, it gives product and growth teams a practical view of monetization health.

How do you know that your audience likes what you’re doing? Are they interested in what you’re saying and getting involved in the ways that you want them to be?

To know that, you need to track your audience engagement. To help you do that, we here at Process Street have broken down the what, how, and why of audience engagement in this post.

Ogilvy on Advertising was one of the first books I had on my reading list back when I created my system for reading more. My only regret after finally reading it is having delayed for a year and a half.

Drawing from 40 years of experience, David Ogilvy shows what he learned from creating some of the most successful advertising campaigns of the twentieth century. The father of advertising was blunt, occasionally hostile, and never pretending to be infallible, but many of the marketing tips he championed decades ago still hold up because they are grounded in customer behavior, research, and clear writing.

Content promotion is the planned work of getting a useful asset in front of the people most likely to benefit from it. Publishing is only the starting point: a strong content promotion checklist connects each post, video, guide, or report to the right owned, earned, community, and paid distribution channels.

This advanced content promotion checklist turns that work into a repeatable content distribution strategy. It covers preparation, social media, email, outreach, syndication, communities, paid promotion, internal links, link roundups, repurposing, and measurement so every channel has an owner and every result can improve the next campaign.

“Agile marketing” is not a useless jargon term or some kind of crutch. It is a practical way to plan campaigns, ship useful work, learn from evidence, and change course before a rigid plan turns into expensive baggage.

It is also not nearly as intimidating as it might first seem. If your team already drafts, tests, reviews, and improves its work, you have the raw materials. Agile marketing turns those habits into a visible operating system.
