Results or Die – that’s the philosophy of CoSchedule, an online tool for organizing all of your digital marketing. The CEO and co-founder, Garrett Moon, has authored a new book called the 10x Marketing Formula (due out March 27th) and he joins EDGE of the Web to talk about some of the ideas and inspirations behind the new book.
