5 Stradegies to know how digital Marketing works

Digital marketing works by employing certain strategies to grow traffic on your website and/or to make your brand/business more popular on the Internet. In today’s session we are going to discuss various strategies digital marketers adopt.

Some of the more common strategies used in Digital Marketing are given below:

SEO - SEO or Search Engine Optimization teaches you how to stay on top of search engines, when it comes to website rankings. People use search engines like Google, Bing to find what they are looking for. If your website are in those results, you’ll get relevant traffic. Relevant traffic means people who are interested in what your website has to offer. The process of getting your website ranked on the search engines for the relevant terms is SEO.

Social Media Marketing - Social Media Marketing, which teaches you about marketing on Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter, and also about video marketing. All these social networking sites are excellent methods of digital marketing. More people would see, visit the merchant’s pages, and invite their friends to visit them. Advantage of social marketing is people are more likely to share stuff they find helpful, funny or interesting in any way. For example, if you have a website or blog on say ‘travelling’, if you’ll post information on “Famous Celebrities’ Honeymoon Trips”, people will share the stuff and you’ll get a lot of traffic.

Paid Marketing – You can buy traffic (visitors) from various traffic sources such as Google Adwords, Bing Ads, Facebook Ads etc.

Email Marketing – Here, you build your email list through your website and then send emails to your list inviting them to visit your website.

Please note that all of the above strategies work even better if you actually have a useful website which people love, bookmark and share. The goal is to create a content rich blog or website that provides value to the visitors. ‘Value’ here means that your aim is to provide high quality relevant information to your visitors which is helpful to them. This will make them bookmark your website and recommend it to their friends.

Take for example, the website http://www.improve-vision-naturally.com. The website promotes “Rebuild your Vision”, that helps improve vision. If you go through the website, you will find that it is rich in content relating to improvement of vision. This is what you will need to do to attract traffic.

As you read these strategies, you may realize that you have already come across one or all of them. You may have clicked on an advertisement to be taken to a merchant’s website, received email promoting a product and others.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed today’s session.

Introduction to Digital Marketing and its Benefits

You have learned about affiliate marketing till now (even joined some affiliate networks only if you created a good blog. We recommend that you do not join any affiliate program till you have a good blog or a good website. In the coming weeks, we will make you create a website through which you will be able to apply to affiliate network programs.) . It is one of the most important things that you need to know and understand to starting earning steadily.

Now begin to learn Digital marketing. It is a revolution in today’s times.

Let us begin with an introduction to Digital Marketing. 

Digital marketing is known by many other names – Online marketing, web marketing or Internet marketing. Traditionally, marketing is done via advertisements on radio, television or the Print media. Digital marketing, on the other hand, is done online, over the Internet.

You probably use Internet for two to three hours or more in a day. But, are you aware that Internet can be such an effective medium of advertising? Well, it is not just an effective medium; it is an effectively successful medium.

Digital marketing involves promotion of the services and products, just as traditional marketing does. It, however, reaches a larger number of people. Almost everyone you know has a social media account. Advertising on social media is also a form of digital marketing and a very cost effective method. You can reach a large number of people with the relevant information timely.

So, what is the importance of Digital Marketing?

Digital marketing works on the simple premise – time is money. This statement is of prime importance in today’s world. For example, consider the shopping situation today and compare it with your parent’s days. How much do people go out to shop? Most consumers prefer online shopping. Why? Well, it saves a lot of time and they get more options without having to move out of their houses. They get a wide range of choice that they would not get in a store.

This online presence of people has improved brand recognition at a worldwide scale. For small scale businesses, digital marketing is the best form of advertisement.

How beneficial is Digital Marketing?

Creates Awareness – To help you understand how beneficial digital marketing is, consider this simple example. When you are browsing your timeline on Facebook or any of your preferred social networking sites, you might see many advertisements on the side. You would be surprised at how many times you click on one of those advertisements because they seem relevant. I am sure, many times you are unable to resist and end up making purchases at one of those sites.

Even if you don’t, there are a number of people who do. Most importantly, though, when you click on the Facebook advertisement, you find out about a new brand that you would not have heard of through traditional media.

Thus, digital marketing creates awareness about products and services in a simple and efficient way.

Provides Equal Opportunities – A person with a small scale business may not be able to use the traditional forms of marketing. Money is necessary and this form needs you to spend a hefty sum of money on advertisements for people to know you. However, when you opt for digital marketing, you need to have a well-planned website and you can draw traffic to it smoothly.

The size of your business does not matter here. What matters is the quality of service and products that you are offering. You can get easy online visibility without spending much when you are on social media.

Understand the Consumer’s Response – Another big benefit of digital marketing is that you can view how well your business is working and see the results of your hard work. If you feel that a particular area of your business needs more attention, then you can make changes in your strategies.

You get real time response from consumers. One mistake will have the consumers backing out. But, the best part is that you can rectify the mistake immediately and pull the customers back.

There are various tools like Google Analytics to help you determine how well you are doing. These tools are accurate and easy to use for anyone. The results are real time as well because in a matter of a few hours, you can see a peak in your traffic, sales, revenue and subscribers.

Going Viral – I have seen a large number of advertisements going viral because people liked it and could share it with others in a matter of seconds. This is not possible with the traditional marketing means.

The best example is the ‘Kolaveri Di’ video that became immensely popular. The music was catchy, foot tapping and captivating. Similarly, there are many advertisement videos that become viral. If it provides value to the consumers, then they like it, share it with their family and friends, who share it further.

It is shared a hundred times in a matter of a few minutes.

To give you statistics, on an average, a person on Facebook has 190 friends. Out of those, 12% have a chance of seeing a shared or liked post. This means, that even if one person shares your ad, 15 people would see it, and these are modest estimates. If these people share the same thing too, the post could become viral instantly.

No Sales Calls – One of the biggest advantages of digital marketing is that you don’t get calls if you have not subscribed to a service.

The advertisement style is not pushy. People are looking for the products that are delivered to them and thus, instead of being angry, they are thankful. It is tailored to people’s needs and allows the practical demonstration of targeting only that customer base which needs the product or service.

If a consumer is interested in clothes and has subscribed to that website, then only he will get mails from them and only, if he has opted for the mail service.

Now, think about digital marketing and see if you can come up with some viral advertisements that you may have shared with your friends.

Choosing Your Niche (Topic) For Your Website

Today, I am going to help you with that.
You should consider the following points while choosing a niche:

1. If you like the topic on which you are going to make your website, that’s a great thing.
2. Enough people must be buying products related to the niche or spending their time knowing more about your niche.
3. It shouldn’t be too competitive.
4. If you can find some products to promote (from affiliate networks we joined before) in your niche, that’s even better.

Let’s consider the above points one-by-one.

You should like the topic yourself
To be able to create value, fill a void. Otherwise you might get bored and won’t be able to contribute much. It can grow really well if it is your hobby you absolutely love.

Are enough people buying or looking for more information in your niche?
If you like something, but if there are not many people looking about it, your website won’t get much traffic.

Is your niche too competitive?
Your niche shouldn’t be too broad that your direct competition is with big companies. For example, if you like cooking, a blog on ‘recipes’ will be too broad. I’ll recommend that you should rather make a blog on ‘vegetarian recipes’ or maybe can go even narrow to ‘healthy vegetarian recipes’. So if you like cooking, you can make a website on ‘healthy recipes’, ‘protein rich recipes’, ‘weight loss recipes’ etc.

If you like fitness, you can make a website on yoga, bodybuilding for newbies etc.

Are there enough advertisers to promote?
If there is nothing to recommend and gain commissions from in your niche, it will be harder for you to monetize your website. You can always place ads (example: Google Ads) on your website. But, we hardly recommend choosing a niche with enough advertisers to promote. For example: Goon ebay.com and amazon.com and see their best-selling products.

Here are some topics/nichesfor you to brainstorm:

- Accessories - Cosmetics/Fragrance, Handbags, Jewelry - Shoes

- Art/Photo/Music - Art, Music, Photo

- Automotive - Cars & Trucks, Motorcycles, Parts & Accessories, Rentals, Tools and Supplies

- Books/Media - Audio Books, Books, Magazines, News, Television, Videos/Movies

- Business - Business-To-Business, Marketing, Office, Productivity Tools, Travel

- Careers - Employment

- Clothing/Apparel - Children's, Malls, Men's, Women's

- Commerce - Auction, Classifieds, E-commerce solutions/providers, New/Used Goods, Telephone services, Utilities

- Financial services - Banking/Trading, Credit Cards, Investment, Loans, Real Estate Services

- Food & Drinks - Gourmet, Groceries, Restaurants, Tobacco, Wine & Spirits

5 Website to earn extra money

Guess what? Like any get-rich-quick scheme, it’s only going to make money for the person running the scheme.That doesn’t mean there aren’t reputable ways to earn a little bit of money online during your spare time. There are many easy and legal ways to earn a few bucks on the Internet.  Here are 5 to try: 

1).Mechanical Turk : is a program run by Amazon where anyone can sign up and complete simple tasks – like choosing which of two pictures depicts a bridge – to earn a few cents per task. With some practice, you can earn a few dollars an hour while just sitting on your couch watching television. And with enough focus, you can earn an amount roughly equal to minimum wage.

2).Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing : allows anyone who has written a book on their own to upload it to Amazon to be sold on Amazon Kindle devices. Let’s say you write a novel and want to sell it. If you upload it here and then promote it online through social media or blogs, you can sell copies of your book and earn as much as a 70 percent return on each sale.

3).Fotolia :  allows you to sell photos you’ve taken for stock photography usage. For example, if a publisher is looking for a picture of a beach and you uploaded such a picture, the publisher can use Fotolia to purchase the rights to use that picture in its publication and you receive a cut of that money. For a photography hobbyist, this is a great way to earn a few dollars for some of your best photos.

4).Swagbucks : is perhaps the most popular – and most legitimate – of the online survey sites. Swagbucks pays you a small amount for participating in a consumer survey, which companies then use to figure out what kinds of products to make and sell. You can participate in several surveys a day, and Swagbucks earnings can be redeemed for gift cards from Amazon, Target, iTunes and more.

5).Skillshare : is a website where you can teach an online class and get paid for it. You record series of videos on a topic that you know about – popular subjects include crafts, film, fashion and cooking – and then participate on the Skillshare forums related to your class. In exchange, you receive a cut of the money from the people who take your class. No teaching degree is necessary to get started, and the site says teachers can earn an average of $3,500 a year.  

All of these websites offer great opportunities for anyone to earn some extra money online. It all depends on what you want to bring to the table in terms of time, money and effort.

Moving forward with our session today, you need to understand affiliate marketing in depth.

he above diagram will help you understand affiliate marketing even better. Let’s take a closer look at every step:

• 1. Affiliate (i.e. You) signs up for the merchant’s (or advertiser’s) affiliate program.

Soon, we’ll let you know a few recommended affiliate programs which you can join. Once you’ll join any affiliate program, for every product there, you’ll get your unique affiliate link. You’ll have your own login details to login inside the affiliate program.

• 2. Affiliate uses an affiliate link whenever they mention the merchant on their website.

You can promote affiliate links not only through your website, but also through your blog, through YouTube videos, through Facebook and other social networks, through email and other methods. (We are going to cover everything in this)

• 3. Jack (a normal online surfer) visits Affiliate’s website

When you’ll start marketing your website (or promote your affiliate link in other ways), you’ll keep getting visitors.

• 4. Jack clicks on your affiliate link to visit merchant’s website

When you’ll start getting visitors with whatever online marketing you’re doing, many of those visitors (not all of them), will click on your affiliate link to reach the merchant’s website.

• 5. A cookie gets dropped to Jack’s computer

When visitors click on the affiliate link, a cookie gets dropped in their web browser. This cookie will help the advertiser to identify that Jack came through your affiliate link.
Note: This is the technology of the affiliate program you have joined. You don’t have to do anything here, but it is important to know the basics of how the visitors are tracked online.

• 6. Jack completes the desired action on the merchant’s website

The desired action could be filling a form, buying something, entering his email or whatever the advertiser wanted him to do. Once the visitor completes the desired action, we say that the visitor has ‘converted’ and a ‘conversion’ has taken place.

• 7. After completing the desired action, merchant checks for the affiliate cookie on Jack’s computer.
• 8. Merchant finds a cookie belonging to you and logs a credit for the commission according to the affiliate agreement.
• 9. Merchant makes reports available that show the affiliate all the visitors and sales (or conversions) from the affiliate link.

You can check these reports on the affiliate program after logging in. Everything is well organized there.

• 10. At the end of every payment period, affiliate program sends the payment to the affiliate for all the conversions (or sales) in that period.

Usually a payment period is one month.

This is how affiliate marketing actually works. I hope today’s session wasn’t too much to digest. Feel free to read it multiple times to get a better understanding. Even if a few things aren’t clear right now, that is absolutely fine. Things will get clearer along your journey with me

Soon, we are going to join some affiliate programs and look for the offers we can promote. I’m getting excited as the real stuff is about to begin.

How does Affiliate marketing works

Step-1: You join an affiliate network.

Step-2: You pick up an offer to promote. It could be any online product or service. It can be referring people to fill a form on a dating website (like shaadi.com), or recommending them an online store to buy t-shirts from. There are thousands of such offers to promote across the globe.

Step-3: Once you choose an offer to promote, you’ll be provided with your own unique link to that offer. You’ll use this link to promote the selected offer.

Step-4: When anyone visits the offer through your unique link and completes the desired action (like filling a form or buying something), you’ll be paid a commission.

Step 5 :The advertiser finds an affiliate cookie that belongs to you and credits you for the sale.

Step 6:The advertiser updates the reports to shows all the clicks (traffic) and sales generated from your affiliate link.

Step-7: Your commissions will keep accumulating in the affiliate network you have joined. You’ll get paid from the affiliate networks on a weekly or monthly basis.

5 Affiliate Networks to join

A downside to joining a network is the upfront costs, which vary from $575 to $6000.

3.MyPoints: This is a site that rewards you points for online activity such as reading emails, taking surveys and signing up for offers. When I was participating in this, I mostly just read the emails and clicked on the links and slowly accumulated points. You won’t get rich quickly doing this, but you can earn enough points by reading emails to get free gift cards each year. We paid for our few and far between law school date nights mostly with gift cards I earned through MyPoints. Go here to sign up.

4.SurveySpot: This company pays up to $5 per survey and you can request payout when you have earned $5. So therefore, it’s not hard at all to earn enough to get a check. Go here to sign up.

5.iPoll: Pays in point rewards for every completed survey. You can cash these in for instant win opportunities, sweepstakes, or cash. There are also opportunities to do free product testing. Go here to sign up.

That way, freelancers sell their services to the companies that find them. You can categorize your gig by keyword so it shows up in multiple searches.
