I have published a series of blog posts on eagleblogging.com that explain the
foundational parts of digital marketing. Each business and blog have a different
recipe to operate. Some online businesses depend on social media, and many
others swear by SEO. All need robust analytics. The key is to do what works at
first and then try different channels and tactics to stay relevant in the market
and to profit from new opportunities.
In the following sections, I’ll
divide published blog posts into categories. Then, I’ll provide a brief
explanation of each section. The good news is that these publications follow an
order. So you’ll have strong foundations by reading them consecutively.
SECTION 1: STRATEGY
Much depends on the strategy. And is often an overlooked part of digital
marketing. This is because many service providers are specialists. When you are
a specialist, you can do most of the work in your field, but sometimes by doing
this work, you lose sight of the big picture. This happened to me. I was a web
designer, and even though I saw the signs of clients who wanted to have a
website TO MAKE SALES, I was solely involved in the technical side of creating
websites.
Understanding how all parts work together to create what is
called synergy. Next, I’ll show some of the most critical aspects of strategy:

SECTION 3: ADVERTISING
Many individuals associate advertising as the primary way to reach an audience.
It’s an essential part of digital marketing. However, successful advertising
needs to be integrated with other elements of the digital marketing option menu.
Copywriting is one of these options, also web design.
With
advertising, you can reach every corner of the globe, talk to your target
audience, receive immediate feedback, and measure it. If you have a great
strategy, you can keep your customers after they purchase from
you.
You can sometimes scale your business consistently, which is
excellent news for many bloggers and business owners. Search, and social media
are the most powerful ways to advertise. It is estimated that Facebook, Google,
and Amazon take up to 64% of US digital ad spending this year.

But there is more. Your client’s attention is a significant first step. Now,
it’s crucial to keep your customers happy. Not only will you be doing the right
thing, but you will increase your bottom line.
A customer is worth
their weight in gold. Often, if you do things right, they will buy again and
again from you. This increases your profitability. Due to competition, you don’t
make a profit selling the first product in a funnel. However, sometimes you
begin making a profit when they buy the second product.
You have
proven tools to keep your customers happy for extended periods. A Customer
Relationship Management implementation can do wonders for your bottom line.
Content Marketing is embedded in many aspects of a digital marketing strategy.
Social Media Platforms are always in vogue and help drive traffic and reach
people.
A warning: You shouldn’t do social media without a strategy.
Are you using social media to drive traffic to your website? Maybe to aid in
your branding efforts. To sell directly through social channels? Considering
beforehand what you’re trying to achieve will provide you with the best
results.
Mobile and Email are always fashionable. Mobile is a whole
world with a few attractive benefits. Email has been around for a long time. Its
value still seems to increase every year. Video marketing is huge. You’ll find
that online viewers enjoy more than 10 hours of video online
weekly.

SECTION 5: OPTIMIZATION
The Internet is powerful as a marketing and advertising medium because of all the
people who use it and because you can measure almost every action or campaign
you make. Of course, you need to perform strategy and execution, but there’s a
missing piece: Optimization.
If you can track something, you can
improve it. To do great marketing, you can make data-driven decisions if you are
agile. Sometimes your gut has certain limitations, but the data is clear and
provides you not only quantitative information but also you can make qualitative
assumptions. As a result, you can fill the market demands of your customers by
listening (through analytics and testing) to their needs.
You would
be surprised how the little things can make a measurable difference in your
online endeavors. Conversion Optimization can be a source of profits for your
blog or business. For example, if your earnings are $50,000 a month and you
improve your conversions by 15%, then you would earn an extra $7,500 by making a
few modifications here and there. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not easy since you
must know what you’re doing, but you’ll encounter similar case studies all over
the web.
Next, you’ll find my articles related to
optimization:

I just gave you an ordered list based on categories of the digital marketing
world. So you can see how it relates to your blog or online business. Strategy,
generation, advertising, keeping your customers, and optimization are vital
pillars to keep in mind when you begin or continue your marketing journey on the
Internet.
A long time has passed since the Internet was the wild,
wild west. You can make predictable assumptions and sound plans based on common
sense, data, and great ideas. I hope these blog posts enlighten a part of your
journey.
