One thing that comes in every person's mind is that they have to be updated with life and is the beauty of today's world. People keep updating them on so many things like Health, Education, Tradition and most importantly Wealth.
Do you think that money is everything and why it can't be??
Money is the only thing to survive in this crowded world.
Everybody knows that 2020 Corona Virus has changed the leaving of people. Some people succeed more, some people can at least survive, but some people condition was like they were sitting on the road track and waiting for someone who will give them food to alive.
They
keep on thinking and searching what I can do next?
Yes,
Payal this correct, but through what is everything going?
What
is a medium for that?
There are two types of people, one is informative and another one is Non-informative. If we talk about the informative person, he must be having a little bit of information about digital marketing, they do their best one. But is the same case with Non-informative? Being new to any field, a person is not having any idea about Digital marketing. I would say it is the best choice to start a career in Digital marketing.
What is Digital Marketing?
Why
Digital Marketing?
Who
can be a Digital Marketer?
Why
Digital Marketing is the future?
Do
Digital marketing jobs pay you more?
These questions must be running in your mind.
I'm Right??
Before we start with What is digital marketing, let’s understand first why Digital marketing is important.
Why Digital Marketing?
Consumer
mindset towards the things they buy is changing exponentially since last few
years. You can see the change all around you. Millions of consumers have
started using the internet. There are more than 400 million internet users in
India right now. Internet usage has been accelerated by the penetration of
smartphones and low-cost computers
The written words are always powerful
Isn’t it?
It connects. On a deep level.
If you are reading this right now, then it is obvious that my words are capturing your attention. And I believe, you don’t need any convincing on why the written words are powerful.
What is Digital Marketing?
Digital marketing is a form of marketing for promoting and selling products or services on the Internet. It’s the process of leveraging different online marketing channels like search engines, social media networks, and email to reach your target audience.
I will run Facebook ads, google ads to gain traffic, is another thing. But it is the only medium through which I'm again marketing my Channel, my content.
This means that I'm marketing my cooking YouTube channel 'wish your Dish' through the digital medium: internet, this article. I can also do marketing of another's a product through my channel this is the depth of Digital Marketing.
Through digital marketing, you can find people interested in your offering, interact with them, and build trust with your brand.
Now let's talk about the Law of marketing
Law of Marketing:
So here you don't need a proper outgoing technical law in case of marketing.
Law of marketing means, it is just a rule made by people only, as every people thinking is different. So people can define it according to their mindset.
I have a few laws of marketing, let's understand it more deeply:
Suppose you want to sale any product, you don't need creativity in that, all you need is you to have to prove the customer that, my product is good (need, benefits, future) so that customer will be satisfied.
Means all you need here is only science for your justification.
2.Marketing starts before creating a product. It starts with understanding the customer & customer's need for creating that product itself.
Before creating any product, you must know:
. Understanding the need for the product
. Benefits of the product
.
Why
customer need that product
.
Satisfaction
of Customer
This means that you have to market before creating any product.
You
have to satisfy people why my product is useful at present as well in the in
future. Then only your product is worth that you created.
People should have a positive approach to your product.
But how?
All you need to do is convey all your thoughts, being very informative about it before creating.
That's
why marketing is important before creating any product.
Now again the same question coming into mind
How?
You have to convey the right message, to right people & also at the right time
Swiggy sends a Push msg for any special Dish for a particular restaurant.
So in this case, if you are interested to eat food, you just order it, even if you are not interested, you just order it & grab the speciality.So here I'm the right person, I get msg to have some special food, at the right time.
3.Marketing is not about selling. It is also keeping an existing customer happy by communications with them so that they can remain a customer for a long time.
You
have a mouth like yes, my product is sold now, feeling amazing, stop
communicating with the person & now my target is another customer.
What do you think is it the right way??
Really??
By this way, you might be successful but you will not achieve your importance, your name in today's crowded industry. So all you have to do is, just win the trust of the customer. Have very good communication before & after selling a product. so that customer can remember you and buy any service from you again & again.
Let's understand this with example.
Vijay Sales are the most preferable destination for consumer Product. They offer customer best service as well as quality, it’s a basic principle of theirs. That also in the budget, even if you don't have any budget, they arrange it in EMI. They understand the need of the customer. If you buy any product from Vijay sale, their customer executive call you and ask for how was service first, after few months they also do enquiry is it worth or not, having any issues like. They keep their customer engaged through gratitude.
But now the question is how you have achieved this??
Isn't it because of Trust & good relationship with the customer?
Digital marketing is relationship building.
Digital marketing is building a relationship with a prospective client over a period through appropriate and varied channels. This relationship-building is accomplished using contextualized content.
Where digital marketing is relationship building, a digital marketer is anyone who uses digital tools to facilitate that practice. The more appropriate your contextual target and the more compelling your content, the more successful your marketing.
All you need to build Personal Brand in the industry.
5.Marketing is also a game of perceptions. product is rooted in reality. Never let marketing becomes more important than the product. a product sale itself.
You can say marketing is a very dangerous game. If you do marketing, very good marketing, but your product is just a low-quality one. You will lose the game. But instead, you sell a high-quality product, you don’t need to even market it, the product itself sale.
6.A the great product converts your customer into brand ambassadors. word of the mouth of marketing is best to channel of marketing ever.
I hope you understood till now the basics fundamental of marketing
Let's look at what are the main components of marketing:
. Advertising
. Copywriting
. Sales
These are the three most important components of marketing
Apart from these, I have some other 10 key components for a good marketing plan.
- Market Research
- Target Market
- Product
- Competition
- Mission Statement
- Market Strategies
- Pricing, Positioning and Branding
- Budget
- Marketing Goals
- Monitor Your Results
Building a strong Brand:
Branding
your business is one of the most important steps in building a company. It
gives your company a unique personality and establishes a differentiated
position in the market that attracts the right customers.
But
for many startups, this can pose a challenge. Without the funding to hire large
branding agencies and with limited resources, startups often make common
branding mistakes such as not defining clear brand guidelines, which in turn
neglects to give potential customers a strong first impression.
Principles to build Strong Brand:
1.Do not be the no.1 Be the Only one
2.Choose a category & become a leader in that category. Deciding here to compete is half of success
3. 3. If
you cannot be the leader in a category, be the leader in the sub-category.
4. 4. Enter a competitive market but have a unique angle.
Now you are familiar with marketing, but another question is what kind of marketing should I go for.
Between the tried and true strategies of traditional marketing and the new and innovative strategies of digital marketing, there are many ways for businesses to capture the attention of their audiences.
But which strategy works best?
Which one should businesses focus on?
When discussing traditional marketing vs. digital marketing, there is a lot to consider. We will discuss the purpose of each and their benefits and setbacks, to help you decide which is best for your business.
Digital marketing vs traditional marketing:
What’s the difference between the two? Selecting the right marketing type is an age-old question on every marketer’s mind.
What is Traditional Marketing?
Traditional marketing encompasses the marketing methods that can be used without digital media. These are the methods that have been around for decades and are typically used less often now. However, they’re not without their strengths.
Digital marketing vs. traditional marketing: what’s the difference?
—
The main difference between digital and traditional marketing is the medium through which an audience encounters a marketing message. While traditional marketing uses traditional media like magazines and newspapers, digital marketing uses digital media, such as social media or websites.
Of course, traditional marketing doesn’t mean it’s old fashioned. Traditional marketing still plays an important role in people’s lives with the ever-growing need to step out of the digital world.
The immersive experience of an impactful TV commercial and the tactile nature of a copy of Rolling Stone magazine are as important today as they were 20 years ago because of their lasting effects on your memory. Subconsciously you attach yourself to their brand emotionally, meaning they will stay at the top of your mind.
In the same token, digital marketing is just as important as traditional if not even more so. Digital marketing uses every touchpoint of your daily use of the internet to reach you.
For example, you are planning to go out on weekend. What you do, you simply search it on internet, all environment, budget, and also ask some of your contact they already visited it., how was your experience on the trip.
You are using both traditional & digital skills here.
Which One is Better?
So, which strategy wins when comparing traditional marketing vs. digital marketing?
The short answer: it depends.
The long answer:
Digital marketing is probably the best option for most. If you want to reach a particular group of people, wherever they may be, while keeping costs low, go with digital marketing. Doing so will also allow you to collect valuable information on your audience immediately so that you can create even more effective marketing campaigns.
However, there is still a place for traditional marketing. If you want to reach an older audience or a local audience, traditional marketing methods may be more productive and stand out better than digital marketing methods. Though these methods may seem “old,” the reality is that they’ve stuck around for a reason. They work!
When considering which marketing strategy is best for your business, consider your audience, where they get their information from, and use that to make your decision. When deciding between traditional marketing vs. digital marketing, it’s not necessarily true that one is simply better than the other as they serve different purposes. The bottom line is that you need to fully understand your business and your audience to pick the strategy that’s better for you.
Traditional marketing channels include:
- Outdoor (Billboards, bus/taxi
wraps, posters etc.)
- Broadcasting (TV, Radio etc.)
- Print (Magazines, newspapers etc.)
- Direct Mail (catalogues etc.)
- Telemarketing (Phone, text
message)
- Window display and signal
- While on the other hand, Digital marketing channels include:
- Social media (Facebook, Instagram etc.)
- Website
- Content marketing
- Affiliate marketing
- Inbound marketing
- Email marketing
- PPC (pay per click)
- SEM (Search engine marketing)
Now
you come up with which strategy is better, the next thing is How to Plan a
Marketing Budget.
Without a marketing budget plan in place, you have no way of knowing.
What
is the marketing budget?
A marketing budget documents how much your business plans to spend on marketing over a specific period, like a year, quarter, or month. When budgeting for marketing, consider all costs associated with marketing your business, such as paid ads, hiring costs, marketing tools, website maintenance expenses, and more.
Why do I need a marketing budget for my business?
- It helps you stay on track
financially
- It helps allocate funds into the
right places
- It helps you set benchmarks and
goals
- It helps you plan long-term
- It’s an investment in your
business’s growth.
Let’s take one example
How to make one crore?
To achieve one crore target you need is Target customer & Target
Let's understand it with the above structure.
Suppose I have 1 Lacks customers & you are selling a product worth Rs.100 to make 1 crore. You can make revenue but there is no profit.
Imagine that you can do it two times of target i.e. 50% profit margin means having 10,000 customers & selling a product Rs1000, you can easily make 1 crore, definitely here is profit. because having 10000 customers instead of 1 lack will be a good target to sale my product.
But
all you need to decide what is your Niche. In the case of Narrow niche, there
is no big availability of services than the broad niche. In a narrow niche, the
target audience is less & also no service.
Your niche should not be so Narrow nor Broad one.
You are selling a Rs 100 product to 1,00,000 customers, it is to make 1crore. Because once you build trust in 100000 customers, they will buy the product Rs 100 & they will also satisfied with it.
Once you have 100000 L customers you can sell 10% of them i.e 10,000 customers an Rs 1000 Product without incurring any customers extra charge & still, you can make 1 crore rs for the Second time.
You can repeat the same formula to next target of Rs10,000 of 1000 customer & these 1000 customers are just 10% of 10,00000 customers &you can easily make 1 crore without having any additional cost. Apply the same for next.
Isn't it interesting strategy??
I hope you are still reading an article. I'm very thankful
So in marketing, you must have some Financial niche. Set financial goal & try to achieve it. To achieve this, you need Funnel.
I have CATT Marketing Funnel.
This entirely depends on what type of niche you select.
How
passionate about your Niche, your niche is in demand.
It is the factor that defines your wealth as well as business.
Wealth = n^CATT,
where,
[n]
= Niche
Your success & wealth depends on n niche you
choose.
[C] =Content
Create
useful content that attracts people from your niche.
Blog
post, video, Lead magnet, Live Webinar are the mediums.
[A] = Attention
Drive
attention i.e. traffic to your content.
Once
valuable content created, you can easily attract audience attention through
SEO, paid ads, social media marketing &Referral.
[T]
= Trust
Once
you have big traffic i.e. audience attention through your content, all you have
to do next is gives a user a valuable content constantly so that you can
easily gain the audience's trust through marketing automation, tripwires and
retargeting method.
[T]
= Transaction
Convert
your leads into customers with the natural sales method.
Once the audience starts believing in you, they will automatically convert themselves into customer i.e. Transaction
.
I hope you understand the importance of CATT now
I put n i.e. niche into the power of CATT, i.e. power law. So whatever your effectiveness on CATT, it will directly give a better wealth.
But the next question in your mind is:
How to choose the right niche??
Niche is a combination of Talent, Passion & Market
Niche=Talent + passion + Market
Suppose you have Talent & passion but don't have any market to be successful, you will a struggling person. on the other hand, if you have only talent & market, you will earn money but your competitor will be more successful than you because you are not passionate about your niche. Your niche should be a fulfilment of Talent, passion & Market.
For example, you are a singer, you are very talented in music & passionate about singing, but don't have an audience to listen from you.
You will be a good artist??
Let's understand it more with an example of Fitness trainer.
A
fitness Trainer has talent on how to train people as well as they are
passionate about fitness and everybody around us is very conscious about health.
Therefore, they can have a good market.
Now you know about marketing, Financial goal, best niche & strong Brand with you.
How to grow your business using digital marketing?
Is
there any method that helps me to do digital marketing efficiently?
Which the digital channel should I use where ROI is high?
These are the most frequently running question come across any startup business to rank more using social media
If you look around nowadays, you’ll see too much advertising and marketing. Brands are constantly fighting for customers ‘attention.
When
we analyze the Digital marketing world, we see that the same has been
happening: wherever you are, you’ll face a dozen ads and pieces of content.
So,
if you want to drive better results and get the best strategy up and running
quickly, to generate leads and sales, you need to cut through the noise of
marketing.
But how can we do that?
The answer is integrated Digital Marketing.
By integrating your communication, you can tell a compelling story to your customers, leaving absolutely no room for doubt.
What is integrated Digital Marketing?
Integrated Digital Marketing encompasses the idea of creating a unique form of expression that’s easy to identify in all of the channels your customer uses.
It’s
like using a single language to speak in different situations.
That
means it’s a strategy that blends all your marketing tactics
All you have to do is create a consistent image in people mind. Being a consistent one yo n become memorable to your audience.
But integrated Digital Marketing also means having a well-structured and well-defined marketing plan.
All your efforts should point in one direction only and express the same image to the mind of the users.
By doing this you will have:
. We can understand this concept by looking at the idea of a digital picture.
. What is a picture? Just a set of pixels that work together to make us believe we see some specific form.
. Those pixels apart don’t make much sense, but when they gather, we get the proper meaning.
That’s the same with your Integrated Digital Marketing.
Integrated Digital Marketing is about creating a plan to make sure you’re using digital media and to make sure you’re using it the right way.
Those
means of communications include the 3types of digital media:
- paid media (paid
advertising);
- earned media (organic search
obtained with a website or a blog);
- owned media (Social Media, Email,
and others).
What are the channels of an integrated Digital Marketing strategy?
- Email marketing.
- Display advertising.
- Pay-per-click advertising.
- Content marketing.
- Search engine marketing.
- Social media marketing.
- Affiliate marketing.
- Online public relations.
Let us understand in deep about integrated digital marketing framework.
what is coming in your mind, when you see the structure?
Case 1: I go for only SEO & expect to sell to happen?
Case
2: I go for paid Facebook ads &
expect sell to happen?
Case
3: I sent a bunch Email & expect
sell to happen?
Case
4: I write content & expect people to read it & buy?
Case
5: I go for Social media & expect
people to again to share socially?
It will work??
No.
But instead, If I integrate all these modules & work as a machine & expect any output.
It
will work.
Suppose
I had written some valuable content. My first aim is to have the attention of
the audience on my content. If people like my content, they wish to hear more
from me, they search me my blog & may read some more content.
If
I write any new content I will just email my content to my email list, again if
people like my content, they come to my page & read more.
I want to promote any product, what I will do is, I will run Facebook ads through my content. Means here my content is again reaching to people, as well as my product, have promoted. also as I'm a digital marketer I'm able to create Facebook ads, again it is profitable for me.
Let’s assume that
People like my content, they search me through a search engine and I will come up with a count of people searched my content. Means I am sending a signal to search engine that my content is ready and again search engine gives me a rank of my content, likewise.
If I publish my content on social media, People who have not visited will attract them towards my online content. If people like my content, they again share it socially.
This is how integrated digital marketing framework works.
Here CATT Funnel & Niche plays an important role.
Are you satisfied with here only??
Your income level is finished?
The answer is no. The most important part of the article is Personal Brand.
Power of Personal Branding: Mass Trust Blueprint:
What do you want to be known for?
If someone mentions your name, business, or brand what do you want them to say?
Some
people can answer this question in a matter of seconds, while it may take
others a lifetime to figure out.
Personal branding is not just for someone who owns a business.
Personal
branding is also essential for any influencer, business coach, or the person
who wants to share their story with the world.
Digital marketers need to be strategic about marketing themselves.
It’s easy to spend so much time focusing on your business that you don’t invest enough time on yourself as a brand.
But
don’t forget – you are a direct reflection on your brand.
You represent your business, and for that reason, building your self-brand is a must-do.
Is it OK to Brand and Market Yourself?
The idea of marketing yourself may feel a little creepy in the beginning. You have
overcome that hesitation.
If you are good at
something, it is your responsibility to let the world know about it.
