Digital Marketing: The 3 Important Practices That Start Up and Established Business People Should Know

Are you planning on entering the beautiful (and sometimes complicated) world of digital marketing?

Do you want to reach out to your audience with the use of the Internet – and turn things from “ok” to “excellent”?

Digital Marketing StrategyIf so, then you might want to continue reading on…

We’ll be discussing the important digital marketing practices that you should keep serious note of – for the purpose of helping your marketing efforts and in order for you to reach your business goals accordingly. The list is certainly not exhaustive, but a great place to start.

So, are you ready? Let’s discuss:

1. Be Relevant

Consider this: there are billions of Internet users all over – and each has their own specific needs and wants. As it is, there are thousands (even hundreds of thousands) of companies who are looking to cater to those users’ needs and wants.

In order to stand out from the crowd – your digital marketing campaigns must be relevant to your target audience’s needs. Don’t create campaigns designed for people in all walks of life, because honestly, that would be virtually impossible.

Focus on your niche and on the people belonging to your market. Make sure your content – whether it may be videos, press releases, articles and other aspects – are those that actually offer value to people. This will make you more endearing to them, which in turn, can increase your chances for success.

2. Make Use of the Proper SEO strategies

If we talk about digital marketing, search engine optimization (SEO) will always be a part of the conversation. After all, this strategy is what will most probably dictate the number of people you are able to reach out to – as well as the pace of your marketing campaigns. Of course, the more people you are able to communicate with – the more opportunity to grow your business – fast.

Remember: you need to keep yourself updated with SEO strategies as much as possible. There are constant search engine algorithm changes that keep taking place – and if you are unable to know which is which, then you might encounter some unnecessary issues in the end.

Here are some SEO essentials that you should always keep in mind:

  • Always create good and high quality content. Search engines hate low quality content – and if you keep on using content that doesn’t offer any value to clients, then there’s a chance your rankings might suffer.
  • Keep your keyword count to a minimum. Don’t give in to the temptation of putting too many keywords and using too many links on your content, as this might only do more harm than good. Keyword stuffing and link farming are black hat SEO tactics that might only get you penalized and in a whole lot of trouble. So, try to avoid them as much as you can.
  • Integrate social media with your SEO campaigns. Social signals are now considered to be among the most important aspects of optimization – and this is something that you should use for your efforts as well.

3. Build Relationships

Remember that marketing is about building relationships. And the deeper your relationship with your clients is – the more effective your campaigns will be. That same rule is applicable to digital marketing (this is another mode of marketing after all).

As it is, you must make sure to interact with your target market. Talk with them over social media, create YouTube videos to help them out, thank them whenever they give you good reviews, send E-cards on birthdays – or any other method that will somehow help strengthen your bond with your current and prospective clients. This is a very important aspect of marketing – whatever the mode may be.

Are you using these digital marketing principles for your online campaigns? Do you have other helpful practices and tips that you might want to share? If so, please comment below and let’s discuss.

  1. Digital marketing agency says

    March 6, 2014 at 4:46 am

    WOW, Really great post! So many digital agency’s don’t have business experience, therefore, lack the knowledge and understand of the benefits of strategic partnerships in business. There’s a lot of great content here. Any advice for someone in the E-learning industry? Still I have the feeling that Analytics will be the next big field in digital marketing….. i like post.
