The biggest thing Internet marketers were excited about this week, was, of course, Mozcon. Twitter community literally shouted about enormous amount of actionable tips and mind-blowing insights. So we couldn’t help but collect the most useful quotes and presentations from Mozcon speakers this year. Even if it won’t give you the same excitement conference attendees had, it will surely prompt you for new marketing ideas for your own project promotion.
Miscellaneous internet marketing tips
Recommendations for marketing with press-releases, surprising customer experience statistics, multichannel marketing advice, and how to find the audience talking about your product.
PR tip: don’t release “press releases,” release “media alerts” – reporters are more likely to respond to that verbiage. @leximills #mozcon
