In reply to Tony. So glad you enjoyed the list, Tony! We will be at SMX Advanced in June; do you think you'll be there?

In reply to Ryan.

“Quality and value are better than pumping out crap.” Yes, Ryan! Right on the money. That tip is so powerful.

You don’t have to be an engineer to move the dial, just remember quality and value is greater than mass quantities of forced/contrived garbage and your content marketing strategy will succeed (because when you write for the user, the user is happy. And when the user is happy, Google is happy. And when Google is happy AND the user is happy you make the big bucks).

Glad we could help fill in some of the session gaps for you, Ryan. Since Virginia (fellow live blogger) and I weren’t able to attend all the sessions either, we, too, have been looking for fellow SMX attendees to help us fill in the gaps. Do you have any tips or takeaways from your notes you want to share? Sounds like you attended some sessions we couldn’t quite make.

Would love to hear what you’ve jotted in your SMX notebook!

You’re welcome, Andy! A little birdy (the Evening Forum with D. Sullivan post comments..) told me you couldn’t make it to SMX West this year. Glad that Virginia and I were able to share at least part of the excellence that happened in San Jose this March. Do you think you’ll make SMX Advanced in June? (Seattle: http://bit.ly/1lTSaEV)

Great list Chelsea. I was at SMX West and obviously couldn’t attend all of the sessions and got some great tips from this for those sessions I couldn’t attend. I love the tips on content. Its easy to get enamored with the volume of content but you have it right in a number of tips above, quality and value are better than pumping out crap.

In reply to Jayne. So true, Jayne! The simplicity of these tips really resonates with me, too -- they're simple and straightforward but carry a lot of impact. For me these tips are just extended proof that online marketing in 2014 is more about shifting your mindset than it is about reinventing the wheel.

These tips have really made me smile, mainly because most of them are so simply yet extremely effective. What you say about media being an ‘opportunity to do above and beyond what you ever thought you could accomplish’ is so true and so many people panic about trying to get their media up to date and forget about so many other factors that they already have up and running. Obviously in today’s business world social media is important but it’s not the only thing we have to focus on.

In reply to Academic Ads. Glad you found the recap helpful, Lorne! SMX is one of our favorite conferences and, with so much information to take in, even we find the session recaps useful to look back on as reference. :)

Thanks for the comprehensive list from SMX. I didnt get to make it out this year and having the follow up blog posts to fall back on really helps.
