Online Marketing
Online marketing, also called digital marketing, is promoting brands, products, or services using internet-based channels like social media, search engines (SEO/PPC), email, websites, and apps, to reach and engage potential customers where they spend time online, ultimately driving sales and brand awareness. It uses digital data to measure success and adjust strategies, offering targeted ways to connect with specific audiences.
Key Components of Online Marketing:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) & Content Marketing: Optimizing content (blogs, videos) to rank higher in search results and attract organic traffic.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC) Advertising: Running ads on search engines (like Google Ads) or social platforms where you pay for each click.
Social Media Marketing: Engaging audiences on platforms like Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and X (Twitter).
Email Marketing: Sending targeted messages, newsletters, and promotions to subscribers.
Website Marketing: Creating user-friendly websites and landing pages to convert visitors.
Influencer Marketing & Video Marketing: Partnering with influencers or creating video content (YouTube) to reach audiences.
How it Works:
Marketers create digital content (text, images, video) and use these channels to deliver messages, attract users, build relationships, and encourage desired actions (like purchases or sign-ups). It’s data-driven, allowing for precise targeting and performance tracking, unlike traditional methods.
