7-Step mantra to become a Digital Marketing Professional

When I started writing about digital marketing and tips to ace your game in the art of digital

marketing, I started researching material related to proven advertising ideas in the digit media

and felt that there wasn't enough information for newcomers to understand the basis of

marketing and an insight for them to venture their career into digital marketing. So, here is a

short description about what actually is digital marketing and 7 -secrets to become a digital

marketing professional.

What is Digital Marketing?

When there is a product(can be anything) that has to come into the market for consumers

(targeted clients) to purchase, the most important step for selling that product is to make as

many people as you can aware of the product and also highlight specifications of that product

which will set your product apart from other similar products that are already present in the

market(it can also be about some special offers of your already existing product in the

market). Earlier, as people did not have access to mobiles, internet, computer (or any digital

medium) to this extent, most of the marketing happened through radios, televisions, print or

by hoarding and posters or sometimes even by sales men knocking doors for demos. But now

as everyone has access to some kind of digital medium advertising through these medium

would ensure the reach of the product to larger consumers. This art of propagating news

related to a product and ensuring it reaches maximum consumers is called digital marketing.

So, the world of digital marketing is this simple, right?

Now, as you are aware of what actually is digital marketing, it would make a lot more sense

for me to tell you some secrets to see yourself as a successful digital marketing professional.

Here are 7-steps to step up your digital marketing skills:

1. Understand your targets:

As a digital marketing professional, understand your target consumers for your product and

also understand the digital medium through which you could reach the maximum of your

targeted consumers more easily and cost efficiently.

2.Make statistics your best friend:

When I say “understand” your target consumers and platforms, I mean that you need to look

into the statistics and then choose these aspects wisely. You need to be well aware of the

present day consumers ,their needs and platforms which could be apt for digital marketing by

collecting statistical data and then making your choices accordingly .Choose mediums which

justify the expenditure of advertising. choose mediums which not only propagates

information to wider consumers but also lures them into investing into the products.

3. Stay updated:

Be aware of the new inclusions and exclusions in the digital platform. This is a dynamic

learning career where you need to be updated to stay relevant. You need to evolve your

marketing strategies according to the changing conditions.

4. Explore the unexplored:

Widen your spectrum of digital marketing platforms and venture into new digital platforms

by weighing the pros and cons of investing in that medium.

5. Creative and luring strategies:

Another important aspect of digital marketing is to lure consumers into buying the products.

This can happen by strategical planning of advertising content where the main specifications,

offers and positive information about the product is highlighted which might evoke interest

into the consumer to click on the advertisement which will further increase their chances to

purchase the product.

6. Gain experience:

As a digital marketing professional venturing into this field without any past knowledge would

be chaotic. So, try working in digital marketing companies as an intern which will help you gain

an insight on how this industry works.

7. Build a network of like-minds:

Interact with a lot of professionals who are from the same field which will help you develop

in-depth understanding about the various aspects of marketing. By develop a network of

people from the same field with whom you can interact regularly, wi ll make your learning

process more fulfilling and fruitful.
