• Marketing efficiency is key.
• Nick shared strategies of crafting content that targets specific keywords and creating data maps.

Nick on PR and SEO:

• The faster indexing of news-worthy content leads to faster link indexing.
• The process of getting the story right for PR can take time and resources.
• Podcasts are the most cost-effective type of PR campaign: they don't require  content creation.

• Make the initial outreach email short and personalized. 
• Understand the recipient's monetization strategy. 
• Cold emailing still works.
