**To:** digitalgpoint.webmail@gmail.com  
**Subject:** Solving the "print gap" for small businesses

Hi [Name],

I’ve noticed DigitalGpoint covers a lot of practical tools for business growth. One area that often gets overlooked is the bridge between physical marketing (flyers, menus, signage) and digital analytics.

I’ve put together a practical guide on "Managing the Move from Static to Dynamic Print." It explains how small business owners are using dynamic redirect layers to make their physical materials editable after printing—saving them from costly reprints when a URL or price changes.

It’s a straightforward, workflow-focused piece that I believe your readers would find highly actionable.

Would you be open to reviewing a draft for a guest contribution?

Best,

Timo

- **Submit to:** Blayget@gmail.com

**To:** Blayget@gmail.com  
**Subject:** Offline-to-Online marketing workflows

Hi [Name],

I’ve been following Techdee’s tech and marketing tutorials for some time. 

I’m currently finalizing a piece titled: **"Beyond the Scan: 5 Professional QR Strategies for Modern Marketing."**

The article moves past the basic "link a code to a site" approach and explores practical technical workflows: using dynamic redirects to avoid reprints, pulling scan data into GA4 for attribution, and managing bulk physical assets.

It’s a 700-word, list-style tutorial that fits your current format. Is this something you'd like to see for a guest contribution?

Best,

Timo

**To:** joydeep@seosandwitch.com  
**Subject:** Attribution blind spots in physical marketing

Hi Joydeep,

I’ve been following SEO Sandwitch for a while—your recent piece on AI SEO and GEO was excellent.

I’m reaching out because I’ve been working on a technical deep-dive that explores a massive attribution blind spot: physical marketing campaigns.

The piece, **"QR Codes as an Offline-to-Online Signal,"** breaks down how marketers can pull scan data from flyers, packaging, and OOH materials into GA4 to finally close the loop on offline attribution. 

It covers:
- Using dynamic redirect layers as an attribution signal.
- The indirect impact of physical touchpoints on branded search volume.
- Technical setup for UTM-tagged dynamic codes.

It’s not a superficial "marketing tips" post; it’s a strategist-level look at attribution data.

I have a ~2,000 word draft ready. Would you be open to taking a look for a potential guest contribution?

Best,

Timo
(Writer & Strategist)

### HubSpot Agency Blog / MarketingProfs — Status: SKIP
- **Reason:** Both require enterprise B2B marketing angles and have extremely long queues (2–4 months). HubSpot explicitly prohibits homepage/tool links in body copy. MarketingProfs is B2B/enterprise only with no SaaS tool coverage.
- **Revisit if:** QR Master has a published case study with measurable ROI data that could be framed as a B2B marketing success story.
- **Alternative:** Pitch the same SEO Sandwitch angle to similar mid-tier marketing blogs (SmartBizLoans, Startup Mindset, trickyenough.com — all on Charles Floate's list below)

## Web 2.0 & Free Guest Posts — Charles Floate List (QR Master Filtered)

### PHASE A — Web 2.0 (Publish Immediately, No Editor Required)

These 5 platforms require zero pitch approval. Create account → write → publish → link. Do these first as a supporting layer before editorial outreach.

| Priority | Platform | DA | Link Type | Action | Anchor to Use |
|----------|----------|----|-----------|--------|---------------|
| 🟢 1 | **Medium.com** | 95 | No-follow (but crawled heavily) | Publish "5 underrated QR code use cases for small businesses" — 600–900 words | Partial match: "free QR code generator" |
| 🟢 2 | **LinkedIn Pulse** | 97 | No-follow | Publish thought leadership: "Why your business card still needs a QR code in 2025" — short-form 400–500 words | Branded: "QR Master" |
| 🟢 3 | **Substack** | 86 | Do-follow | Set up a mini newsletter: "The QR Code Playbook" — first 3 issues = offline-to-online basics, event use cases, dynamic code strategy | Contextual: "qrmaster.net" |
| 🟡 4 | **Tealfeed** | 59 | Do-follow (lenient) | Write a **fresh angle** — e.g. "Why Startups Should Use Dynamic QR Codes at Events" — NOT a reworded Medium post (duplicate/thin content risk). | Natural: "dynamic QR code tool" or branded "QR Master" — never exact-match same anchor as Medium post |
| 🟡 5 | **Vocal.Media** | 76 | Do-follow (relaxed moderation) | "How Restaurant Owners Use QR Codes to Cut Printing Costs" — niche use case, 700 words | Partial: "QR codes for restaurants" |

**Web 2.0 Execution order:** Medium → LinkedIn → Substack (ongoing) → Tealfeed → Vocal  
**Time investment:** ~3 hours total for all 5  
**Anchor rotation rule:** Never use the same exact-match anchor across posts — rotate: *"QR Master"* · *"qrmaster.net"* · *"dynamic QR code tool"* · *"free QR code generator"* · *"QR code analytics"* — one per post maximum.
