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, will make your learning process more fulfilling and fruitful.

# Bonus Point

Do certified digital marketing courses from recognized learning platforms. This might help you gain a certificate that will help recruiters aware of your digital marketing skills. Even though a certificate alone will not guarantee you a successful digital marketing career, it will surely increase your chances of getting recruited into reputed digital marketing services

Hope this article added value to your learning time.
