It does help with SEO, if you give a link back to your site :)

Agree, its not common in UK/Ireland so if someone does it, I reckon 90% of people just polietly try to hangup quickly
And the remaining 10% will give a tirade of verbal abuse before hanging up - cold calling in the UK is not welcome.

#23That list explain perfectly why I don't want to work on "marketing stuff" anymore. So much opportunity to waste time and money on trivial things. A blog ? A "sneeze page" ? What's the point if you don't have anything interesting to write ? A/B testing landing page and newsletter ? Is that difficult to get honest feedback from people who care ?
Individual feedback doesn't replace large-scale A/B testing. If you're getting feedback from people who care (possibly implying they know you personally), it's also possible that they could deliver biased or unrepresentative feedback.

I feel this list is intended for full-on, VC-yearning startups. My admittedly limited experience is that if you're going for more of a small business product, you could eliminate about 75% of this list. The rest is just "industry hacking".

What's the 25% left?

#30An online marketing veteran here! This list is really good. I can actually help people execute these to-dos on the list for their side projects :)
At the very least say something useful if you're going to do that. This is worse than those bots that spam comments on blog posts with "great content" and a link back to their spam site.
edit: I see you copied and pasted your post from the same article elsewhere. You're basically a spammer.
