Are you into digital marketing?  Do you do something else as a career that requires such skills?  You may even be an entrepreneur, blogger, freelancer… all can benefit from it.  Read my article for more.

In addition to my self-improvement blog, I also work with a company, being my own boss.  It has been over eight years already that I work from home (at the time of writing this blog post), and my social media skills bring so many benefits.  I studied business administration, and previously had corporate working and entrepreneurship experiences as well.  Having digital marketing skills can be of use to a wide range of people in various fields.

Here they are:

1. Digital world

People spend so much time on their phones and other devices.  What better way to find your right potential clients and get them to notice your brand and products?  Even as a blogger, I need to make the most of the internet and social media.  

Learning the basics of social media is a start, as your blog or business grows, digital marketing can be crucial for success.  I make it a must to often update myself about the changes in the field.

2. Competition

There is competition and that goes without saying.  How do you stand out in an online world with so many players?  It’s tricky, but developing the skills is essential.  With information overload, many are using ad blockers.  However, a prospect looking for a solution will gladly be interested in a relevant product that will help for the better.

Online advertising is known to be a cheaper alternative to traditional methods, such as billboards, magazines and so on.  While ad blockers are decreasing the number of ads seen on devices, other approaches such as influencer marketing can be better accepted as a form of referral by someone that people choose to follow and admire.

3. Targeting 

Know your ideal client profile and buyer personas.  Where do they hang out?  On which platforms?  At what time and day?  What are their pain points?  How does your product or service bring them support?

Once you know who you want to talk to about your offer, web marketing can be a convenient and even affordable means to target the best customers.  Many tools help do that and learning about them can be handy.

4. No cold calling

The need for cold calling decreases when you can find interested leads through blogs, social media, podcasts, and so on.  People can take in your content when they are free and looking for it.  Would you always welcome a salesperson who knocks on your door at any time, or would you prefer to educate yourself on the products at your convenience and spare time?

5. Digital products 

Software, ebooks, videos, pdf documents, are some of the popular forms of digital solutions.  On my blog, I sometimes use affiliate links and many of them are for online courses that are relevant to my articles and can be beneficial to my readers.  Shipping is made simple, quick, and easy for such choices.

6. Physical products

These could be anything from clothes, furniture, food… the list goes on.  Digital marketing of such products is helpful to reach potential buyers through targeting.  However, the shipping and delivery process often takes some time, compared to digital ones.    

7. Services

Use online marketing to boost your sales for services.  These could be freelancing, consultancy, accounting, and many more.  Getting many interesting reviews for your performance is great.  When visitors land on your website, get them to keep coming by having an email opt-in, such as a free offer to download.  I use a productivity checklist for my self-improvement blog.

8. Professional 

You may learn more about digital marketing to promote your business or to develop skills for a career.  Companies need to be equipped with specialized people for this.  Building the skills can help anyone.  Entrepreneurs and solopreneurs may also hone their digital marketing know-how.  Online courses are convenient to follow and complete.  

Learn, develop, and make the most of web marketing to find and attract your ideal clients.
