NEW: WordPress Security Audit Checklist + a quick experiment ... 😍

Hey streight, In case you missed it, I released our WordPress security audit checklist. It basically walks you through how to perform a security audit on your website (step by step). See: WordPress security audit checklist + tools Now that the big thing is out of the way, I want to talk about a quick experiment that I'm running + 2 resources to help you grow your online presence. 1. Quick Experiment - something new I want to try ... I have been asked by a lot of third-party sites to do an "Ask Me Anything (AMA)", and I normally turn these down. But this week, I want to get outside of my comfort zone! It's something I've really been wanting to do to connect with you all more ... so LET'S GO! You can follow this link to Ask Me Anything. It could be about: WordPress, blogging, business, life, entrepreneurship, SEO, SaaS, marketing, remote work, basically anything you like :) I will do my best to answer each question and might even make a series of personalized video answers! Not sure what to ask? See all the things I'm up to, so you can get some ideas. 2. Fighting complacency, staying focused, and 103 blog post ideas I will be honest with you ... this COVID-19 lockdown is hard. Few users asked me about suggestions for coming up with blog post ideas. Well here are two resources that will help: - 103 blog post ideas that your readers will love - How to do keyword research for your WordPress blog Lastly, this quote from James Clear is really helpful: "Each day is a new battle to say yes to what matters and say no to what doesn't. Focus is a practice."  3. Start something new and save big! As I have mentioned in my last few emails, a lot of people are starting a new blog, website, or another online business idea. Right now is literally the best time because there are a lot of huge savings opportunities. SiteGround, the hosting company that I use for WPBeginner, is offering Startup hosting for $0.99 for 3 months to help more entrepreneurs / creators get started during COVID-19 challenging times. Bluehost, another popular WordPress hosting company that I use for my smaller sites, is offering website hosting for $2.75 per month, and it includes a free domain + SSL. My team has also compiled a list of 100+ other deals on various WordPress themes, plugins, and other website related products. I highly recommend that you check it out. Also I have added dozens of other free resources in my ultimate coronavirus small business guide. That's all for today. Have a happy weekend. Stay safe, healthy, and in good spirits :) Syed Balkhi Founder of WPBeginner P.S. Have you checked out our YouTube channel lately?
