What is Digital Marketing?

Your search engine optimization, paid ads, social media marketing, cooperating with influencers, that’s all digital marketing! This is not just about selling products online, but about establishing and nurturing a robust digital presence. Or, if you want a more dictionary-like definition, Digital Marketing is an umbrella term for actions taken via digital channels to connect with potential customers, including but not limited to:

Should I Focus on Digital Marketing?

If you have a website, chances are you already do! The question is not whether you should, but how much you should focus on it. And it’s one of those where “it depends” is a valid answer. But, to not leave you on a cliffhanger, usually, the more correctly applied digital marketing efforts you have, the healthier your online business growth. And it isn’t always about the amount of money you put into it, but rather how focused the campaign is.

Let’s Get Practical: Executing a Digital Marketing Strategy

Step 1: Know Your Goals

Identify what you want to achieve with your digital marketing efforts. It could be increasing brand awareness, boosting sales, increasing traffic, or maybe even more specific goal like raising attendance at a specific event. Understanding and setting your goals right from the onset provides a sense of direction and makes your strategy more clear, even if you don’t know the means yet.

Step 2: Research Your Audience

Knowledge about your target audience will guide you in deciding which digital marketing tactics to employ and where to deploy them. Chances are you already know it. After all, it is something that falls under your business plan. If not, it’s high time to find out. There are numerous ways: try researching competition, running surveys, or even just closely observing social media.

Step 3: Choose Your Platforms

Depending on your audience and goals, different digital platforms will be more suitable for your needs. In simple terms, paid ads are good for quick results, SEO for long-term plans, and social media marketing is somewhere in between. However, choosing platforms where your audience is active is what actually matters here.

Step 4: Create a Plan and Implement It

This is where you should know how to proceed. And to not get lost in it, make a plan! This is again something that sound almost banal, but it’s often overlooked. Outline your strategy based on your resources, timeline, and other specifics of your business. Don’t forget to flexibly manage it and tweak where necessary. Want your implementation to be successful?

From Algorithmic Penalty to 373% Revenue Growth (Case Study)

2 Comments / Digital Marketing, Education, SEO

In this case study, I’m going to show you how, over the course of 6 months, we grew the ad revenue on a content website by 395% (from $669 to $3,313).

It would be an excellent result anyway, but we had to overcome a major obstacle (site-killer level) when we acquired this project.

The website was on a massive decline, and all signs pointed to the site having been affected by some sort of algorithmic penalty.

The game was on!
