CONTENT MARKETING
Content marketing is a marketing strategy used to attract, engage, and
retain an audience by creating and sharing relevant articles, videos,
podcasts, and other media. This approach establishes expertise, promotes
brand awareness, and keeps your business top of mind when it's time to buy
what you sell.
What are the basics of content marketing?
Here are the seven fundamentals that are essential to any successful
content marketing program.
• Understand Your Business Objectives. ...
• Get Executive Buy-In. ...
• Understand Your Audience's Pain Points. ...
• Create a Documented Content Strategy. ...
• Identify the Methods and Metrics for Measurement.
Content marketing includes things like educational articles, e-books,
videos, entertainment, and webinars that answer specific questions
people have and provide them with something they can't get elsewhere.
Email marketing
it is the act of sending a commercial message, typically to a group of
people, using email. In its broadest sense, every email sent to a potential or
current customer could be considered email marketing. It involves using
email to send advertisements, request business, or solicit sales or donations.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Email Marketing
Just like any other marketing channel, email marketing has pros and
cons. Let’s briefly dive into some of the more significant ones:
Email Is Permission-based
When a customer trusts you with their email address, it’s the virtual
equivalent of being given the keys to their house. Gaining permission to
enter rather than showing up uninvited increases the chances of
engagement and conversion.
With email, you own the relationships you forge with your subscribers.
Tough Competition
Standing out in a cluttered inbox can be quite a challenge. You have to
be creative to ensure your emails get noticed and opened.
Cons
• Data privacy concerns
• Possible increased data costs for the user
• Little room for error
What Is Affiliate Marketing?
Affiliate marketing is an advertising model in which a company
compensates third-party publishers to generate traffic or leads to the
company’s products and services. The third-party publishers are affiliates,
and the commission fee incentivizes them to find ways to promote the
company.
Cons
• Subject to fraud
• Less creative control
• Vulnerable to theft
In search engine marketing, advertisers only pay for impressions that result
in visitors, making it an efficient way for a company to spend its marketing
dollars. As an added bonus, each visitor incrementally improves the
website’s rankings in organic search results.
Since consumers enter search queries with the intent of finding information
of a commercial nature, they are in an excellent state of mind to make a
purchase, compared to other sites such as social media where users are not
explicitly searching for something.
SEO
stands for “search engine optimization.” In simple terms, it means the
process of improving your site to increase its visibility when people search
for products or services related to your business in Google, Bing, and other
search engines. The better visibility your pages have in search results, the
more likely you are to garner attention and attract prospective and existing
customers to your business.
GOALS OF DIGITAL MARKETING
• Global reach - a website allows you to find new markets and trade
globally for only a small investment.
• Lower cost - a properly planned and well targeted digital marketing
campaign can reach the right customers at a much lower cost than
traditional marketing methods.
• Trackable, measurable results - measuring your online
marketing with web analytics and other online metric tools makes it
easier to establish how effective your campaign has been. You can
obtain detailed information about how customers use your website or
respond to your advertising.
• Personalisation - if your customer database is linked to your website,
then whenever someone visits the site, you can greet them with
targeted offers. The more they buy from you, the more you can refine
your customer profile and market effectively to them.
• Openness - by getting involved with social media and managing it
carefully, you can build customer loyalty and create a reputation for
being easy to engage with.
• Social currency - digital marketing lets you create engaging campaigns
using content marketing tactics. This content (images, videos,
articles) can gain social currency - being passed from user to user and
becoming viral.
• Improved conversion rates - if you have a website, then your
customers are only ever a few clicks away from making a purchase.
Unlike other media which require people to get up and make a phone
call, or go to a shop, digital marketing can be seamless and immediate.
Disadvantages of digital marketing
Some of the downsides and challenges of digital marketing you should be
aware of include:
• Skills and training - You will need to ensure that your staff have the
right knowledge and expertise to carry out digital marketing with
success. Tools, platforms and trends change rapidly and it's vital that
you keep up-to-date.
• Time consuming - tasks such as optimising online advertising
campaigns and creating marketing content can take up a lot of time.
It's important to measure your results to ensure a return-on-
investment.
• High competition - while you can reach a global audience with digital
marketing, you are also up against global competition. It can be a
challenge to stand out against competitors and to grab attention
among the many messages aimed at consumers online.
• Complaints and feedback - any negative feedback or criticism of your
brand is can be visible to your audience through social media and
review websites. Carrying out effective customer service online can be
challenging. Negative comments or failure to respond effectively can
damage your brand reputation.
• Security and privacy issues - there are a number of legal
considerations around collecting and using customer data for digital
marketing purposes. Take care to comply with the rules regarding
privacy and data protection.

What exactly are blogs?
A blog (a truncation of "weblog") is a discussion or informational website
published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal
diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse
chronological order, so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of
the web page.
The four most common types of blogs are Personal blogs, Business blogs,
Niche blogs, and Affiliate blogs. Let's discuss them one by one. Personal
blogs are the pioneers of the blogging industry.
A website is a collection of web pages and related content that is identified
by a common domain name and published on at least one web server.

How to promote your website
Website content writing is any writing on a website. If that sounds broad, it’s
because it is. Let’s explore the types of content writing that are generally
found on a website.
• Blogs: No longer just for writing about your feelings or the day, blogs
are an important component of a website’s content marketing
strategy. Blog posts are often short—around 750 words—and are
designed to inform, entertain, and delight your readers.
• Case Studies: Brands can use case studies to illustrate their value
proposition by writing about how their product or service helped a
customer or client. Case studies are specific to a brand and should
provide in-depth details or data around results.
A keyword, or a focus keyword as some call it, is a word that describes the
content on your page or post best. It’s the search term that you want to rank
for with a certain page. So when people search for that keyword or phrase in
Google or other search engines, they should find that page on your website.
As well as distributing your keyphrase throughout your text, there are some
other places that you should also add your keyword. Remember, always add
keywords in moderation and put readability first!

Webinars
Webinars are virtual events that allow companies to interact with potential
and existing customers no matter where they are located. Webinars are an
effective way to present relevant content — such as a product
demonstration or seminar — to a targeted audience in real time. Engaging
directly with your audience in this way gives your company an opportunity
to demonstrate deep subject matter expertise. Many companies leverage
attendee lists in other marketing programs (email and retargeting
advertisements) to generate new leads and strengthen existing
relationships.
