Digital marketing is a term used for just about every task carried out online that pulls traffic to a business’s online assets. To get found online, you need to juggle so many responsibilities, including advertising, mastering SEO, and being active in social media.

In this article, we have five fundamental strategy tips for you so you can make sure you’re doing enough online without using up all your resources. For example, it’s easy to fall into the trap of allocating too much human resource to digital marketing tasks, and by doing so, other parts of the business are compromised.

So what does it take to do enough to keep the digital marketing engine moving forward? Our first strategy tip is what to do with your most appropriate channel, i.e. your website.

Your Website

It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that digital marketing only includes actions like email marketing, social media posts and Internet advertising, i.e. PPC. However, before you go down the rabbit hole with your marketing, and burn a hole in your cash flow, start with the end in sight. What is your end goal with any marketing strategy? For example, your goal may be to drive traffic to your website, so how’s that looking right now?

Design, Hosting, Security

You’re reading this article, so you probably need assistance in assessing your site.

A website review with a third party is money well spent, as it provides the roadmap of areas that need improvement to appease search engines like Google, so your site is ranked higher and ideally positioned on the first page of keyword search results. For example, is your site mobile-friendly? Every website must be mobile-first in its design.

How long does it take to load your site?

Another essential task is to make sure your website is on the right hosting plan so it can handle an increase in traffic accessing your site simultaneously. Your web pages must load fast, ideally within 3 seconds. A sure way to lose domain and page rank with search engines like Google has a slow site.

Do you know if your site is secure?

With rising attacks on things like payment systems and DNS attacks around the world in 2020, it’s more important than ever to be able to show customers that interacting with your website won’t put them in danger of identity or financial theft.

There are many different marketing strategies to consider for your business.

• Using multiple social media channels, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram
• Creating and posting video tutorials on your website and YouTube
• Starting and maintaining a regular blog
• Working with influencers on Instagram to promote a product or service
• Facebook, Google, advertising
• Email marketing campaigns

Marketing campaigns can work together simultaneously, using the options mentioned above.

Start with one strategy, i.e. posting in social media. Measure its effectiveness and if it works for your business spend time mastering it to improve your conversion rate and then repeat the same process with all the channels your customers use.

Use Your Blog
