Super-Fast WordPress Theme
WordPress makes a living for many developers. Theme Fusion is a startup by two dominating champions, Muhammad Haris and Luke Beck. They got recognition from ThemeForest for their best selling theme Avada. In early 2014, Avada broke all the previous records of Envato Market.

Email Marketing Is Not Dead
The right way of connecting with someone professionally is via email. I have been reading it for the past two years that email marketing is dead. Let me clear the myth to you. There are exclusive marketing platforms introduced in last few years. These entities have their common goal to get the most market share. Email marketing is never replaced. It’s still one of the most prominent methods of marketing in a business.
WordPress is simple. It is decent. No one in the WordPress community is using it as just to be a software. News and insights belong to every industry. When a big content management system like WordPress used over the millions of users, then there must be the happenings to highlight.
From selling plugins, themes, and services, WordPress covers the businesses of managing the websites and handling the software updates. Creating an email list is another complete package to write about. Our friend Ajeet Yadav shared how you can grow your WordPress business with email marketing.

From the beginning to the end, it is a direction for every WordPress user. It will save the hours to surf on google for searching the right techniques.
