WordPress can be called the infrastructure of the Internet. It is an open source program designed to manage website content. It is widely used, stable, and therefore rarely attracts media attention. However, the WordPress community has recently faced a conflict. Co-founder Matt Mullenweg sharply criticized WP Engine, one of the most common hosting providers on the platform. The statement turned into a public dispute. Can commercial companies use open source for profit and should they instead help the project? WP Engine is a hosting company that has been actively using free open-source WordPress software to create and sell its services since 2010. Currently, more than 200 thousand websites use its platform, which makes it a serious competitor to WordPress.com. Matt Mullenweg manages two key platforms: WordPress.org is an open-source project that develops a framework for hosting websites. WordPress.com is a...

Imagine you're launching an advertising campaign. The budget is going, the CTR looks decent, the clicks are pouring in, but the sales output is zero. Sound familiar? The first thought: "The creative didn't work" or "The offer is weak". But the truth is different: the vast majority of users don't buy on the first try. The statistics are unnerving: 92% to 98% of visitors simply disappear after the first contact. Not because there is something wrong with the product. But because they are not ready yet. Someone is looking for feedback. Someone postpones the decision "for later". Someone is just distracted by a message on Telegram. And that's okay. The problem is different: most companies give up on the user at this point. And in vain. Because this is where the real game begins - retargeting. In this article, we...

In 2025, memes have become a part of marketing funnels as organically as Facebook targeting or push notifications. In arbitrage chats, communities, and TikTok, they don't just make you laugh, they warm up the audience, break down the brand-customer barrier, and make people like things they would never click "Buy." Why is this? Because memes are a universal language of trust. They are not perceived as advertising, they create a sense of "one of their own" and disperse content across communities faster than any selling banner. And most importantly, it's the cheapest way to warm up a cold audience before you pitch them a commercial offer. Let's see how memes fit into the funnel, why they sometimes sell better than offers, and how to measure their effectiveness so that you don't end up being just "the same brand that makes...
