I attended a great online marketing seminar run by 2 Sticks Digital Marketing before leaving Australia. As well as all the great information, handy tips and pod casts I acquired at the seminar; was a single sheet of online marketing questions. Even years later, this still stands as a great checklist for the would-be online marketing genius.
