He had invented the radio. It took around 10 years for the radio to reach out to the public. And till then the creators didn&#8217;t know that it can be used to sell goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first live broadcast was an opera performance. The big surprise was that the people bought the tickets for the opera performance broadcast! This was digital marketing.

The name, banner, and poster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Engine Optimization is a method of making a web page easy to find, easy to crawl, and easy to categorize. This helps your customers to find out your business in the middle of thousands of companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEO is simply used to create visibility for your webpage. More traffic is proportional to more sales. A proper SEO helps to rank in SERP. It\u2019s needed because there are billions of businesses online in the world which compete with each other to get rank in SERP.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In research, it has been found that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 73% audience doesn\u2019t go to the second page of the search result and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Approximately 43% audience stays on the first five results of the search.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence, the competition is huge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the main motive of people to use SEO is to stay in the first five and end up gaining the first position and be on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main work of SEO is :<br>\u2981 To generate a huge amount of traffic to your webpage. More traffic = More sales.<br>\u2981 To increase the amount of visibility of your business.<br>\u2981 To outrank your competitors.<br>\u2981 To help your business to stay on the first page.<br>\u2981 To help your business to attain the first rank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And heading up to,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"340\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/paid-media-design.jpg\" alt=\"Email Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-174\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/paid-media-design.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/paid-media-design-300x136.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Email_Marketing\"><\/span><strong>Email Marketing<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing is the use of email to promote products or services in the market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But a better way is the use of email to build relationships with potential customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing can be personalized such that it allows you to target particular groups of customers. One can even offer discounts on merchandise and services at any special event. This can help in building good relations with the customers and it can gradually increase sales and customer loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing has two big advantages which are price and ease. As compared to other marketing alternatives, email marketing is the least expensive way to advertise your company\u2019s products and services. An email marketing campaign is easy to set and track as it makes it easier for small businesses to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing is still relevant because in the age of social media it\u2019s tempting to write off an email. But considering following research:<br>\u2981 In Email marketing $42 is returned for every $1 spent which is actually great.<br>\u2981 91% of email users check their email at least once a day.<br>\u2981 As compared to 1% for the social media, the conversion rate of email marketing is 2.3%.<br>\u2981 59% of survey respondents say email influences their purchase decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main advantage of email over social media is that customers and prospects are more likely to see an email than social media. Posting something on social media doesn\u2019t mean that everyone will see it. However, an email will stay in the inbox until it\u2019s read or deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing can substantially increase your income if you do it in the right way. It\u2019s a better way to make people visit or revisit your blog or website, and more traffic generates more income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now coming to,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"490\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/content-marketing-design.jpg\" alt=\"Content Marketing Design\" class=\"wp-image-176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/content-marketing-design.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/content-marketing-design-300x196.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Content_Marketing\"><\/span>Content Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Content marketing has cracked the market. 89% of B2B marketers are currently using content marketing.

That&#8217;s paid search!<br>The most commonly known and used tool is Google ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Yahoo and Bing may also be worthy of your time and money,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEM grasps the power of search engines like Google to reach potential customers at the perfect time and place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEM is known by many other names which you probably know or have heard such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 Paid Search ads<br>\u2981 Paid Advertising<br>\u2981 PPC (Pay-Per-Click)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also get to learn some terms that are often used while discussing SEM, by which you can easily understand how SEM works. Some of the important terms are:<br>\u2981 Impressions: How many times your ad was viewed on the screen. It actually doesn\u2019t mean the person.<br>\u2981 CPC (cost-per-click): You have to pay when someone clicks your ad.<br>\u2981 CPM (Cost per million impressions): This is one of the other ways for a paid search ad. Depending on your goals and how the ad tool is set up, you may want to pay just to be seen.<br>\u2981 CTR (click-through-rate): The number of clicks you got on your website through the people who saw your ad, even if they didn\u2019t click on the actual ad itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>SEM mostly benefits small businesses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 It\u2019s an instant brand awareness.<br>\u2981 It reaches people in the right place &amp; time.<br>\u2981 It reinforces name recognition.<br>\u2981 It reaches your prime target.<br>\u2981 It gives you a competitive advantage.<br>\u2981 It\u2019s less expensive than traditional advertising.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Search Engine gets it right with the top 3 reasons why people use search engines:<br>\u2981 For research.<br>\u2981 For entertainment.<br>\u2981 To buy something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To these, we will add one more aspect that\u2019s very important. Many people use search engines to find specific websites instead of typing in the address. They may use Google to pull Facebook or Chase banking or your competition. But with the right ad, you may be able to use this time to get your own brand onto the target\u2019s radar. If the ad looks attractive, you\u2019ll surely steal their click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s how it\u2019s done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next up,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"481\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/online-marketing-template.jpg\" alt=\"Affiliate Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/online-marketing-template.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/online-marketing-template-300x192.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Affiliate_Marketing\"><\/span>Affiliate Marketing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing that pops up in people\u2019s mind when they approach this topic is,<br>what is affiliate marketing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, here is a simple definition. In affiliate marketing, you can earn money by selling or promoting a brand\u2019s products. Generally, affiliate marketers receive payment when a consumer, whom they referred, buys a product or service or completes a specific task because you work for commission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other words, it\u2019s a way by which businesses can expand their marketing to you in a way which is totally performance-based. This offers businesses a 100% ROI, this is why it is a unique online marketing method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This also means that you have an opportunity to make a good deal by selling a product that isn\u2019t yours. The more you sell, the more you earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Affiliate Marketing is about relationships, a relationship between three groups:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 Advertiser<br>\u2981 Publisher<br>\u2981 Consumer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Advertiser:<\/strong> The first group, typically referred to as the advertiser or merchant, the one who is selling the actual product or service. This is the group with whom you, the affiliate, will be working with. They plan out the work and pass it on to you to sell their product on the web. The product or service can be like phones or laptops, or even items like insurance policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Affiliate:<\/strong> The second group which is publisher, more likely to be referred as an affiliate marketer. This is you, who is working with the merchant to sell in exchange for a commission. You\u2019ll have a contract in place, and you\u2019ll seek to push traffic in the form of ads, links, or in some cases unique phone numbers that you incorporate on your site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Consumer:<\/strong> And at the last you have consumers or the group that will be buying your product. Thus, the relation between the consumer and the affiliate should be built on trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At last the consumer completes the circle by going through the marketing (like clicking a tracked URL or ad) and then moves further to the publisher\u2019s sales feed. Once they\u2019ve bought something or completed the action as given by the affiliate and merchant, everyone receives their share of the exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All three groups centre on the relationship created by the affiliate and will receive their payment or product through you. Absolutely, you will get paid when a purchase happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you know how each group plays its role, you start to understand in a better way how the entire affiliate marketing process works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Heading next to,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"494\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3456.jpg\" alt=\"Social Media Marketing\" class=\"wp-image-159\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3456.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3456-300x198.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Media_Marketing_SMM\"><\/span>Social Media Marketing (SMM)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Social Media Marketing (SMM) is a type of internet marketing that uses social networking websites as a marketing tool. The aim of Social Media Marketing is to give rise to the content that users share with their social network to help a company increase their brand exposure and broaden customer reach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media marketing campaigns usually center around:<br>\u2981 Presence of social media over major platforms<br>\u2981 Creating splittable content and advertorials.<br>\u2981 Pursuing customer feedback throughout the campaign through surveys and contests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Types of social media campaigns and strategies:<br>\u2981 Hashtag Campaigns<br>Devising a branded hashtag is one of the simplest ways for brands to increase their visibility to social media audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 Giveaway &amp; Contest<br>Throwing a contest or distributing promotional codes can generate social buzz and encourage social media users to take a specific action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 Viral Videos<br>To shoot up exposure, many brands frame content designed to be shared by millions across social media channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2981 Takeovers<br>Social media takeovers involve allowing a social media user to take control over a brand\u2019s owned media channel for a set period of time. This social media marketing strategy can level up a brand\u2019s content and channel by highlighting the company to new audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Social_Media_Marketing_is_of_3_types\"><\/span>Social Media Marketing is of 3 types :<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"418\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/owned-media-design.jpg\" alt=\"Owned Media Design\" class=\"wp-image-160\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/owned-media-design.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/owned-media-design-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Owned_media\"><\/span>Owned media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Owned media is just any type of content that you create and own yourself, that can be your website and any sort of asset or location that you own as a company.<br>Owned media includes:<br>\u2981 Blog posts<br>\u2981 Videos<br>\u2981 Website<br>\u2981 Images and infographics<br>\u2981 Podcast<br>\u2981 E-books, white papers and guides.<br>Essentially, if you\u2019ve created it in-house and you own it, it\u2019s considered as owned media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"417\" src=\"http:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/earned-media-design.jpg\" alt=\"Earned Media Design\" class=\"wp-image-170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/earned-media-design.jpg 750w, https:\/\/makeanydesign.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/earned-media-design-300x167.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Earned_media\"><\/span>Earned media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Often regarded as free media, earned media is any type of brand-related media that originates from social media users, not from the brand itself.
