What is Digital Marketing then?

Digital marketing is the art of selling your products by using social media and online platforms.

You can sell digital products such as Planners, Journals, eBooks and so much more. I will also talk about what niches are profitable so that it can be simpler for you.

Forms of Digital Marketing

• Social Media Marketing

This is the use of social media platforms to promote and sell your products to potential customers. You will need to create a business account so that you don’t use your personal account (unless preferred) to promote your products on most social media platforms. Some of the best platforms to promote on are TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Pinterest. These are my recommendations.

• Content Marketing

Here you create visual appealing content like pictures or videos and also write blogs like this one on which you can put a link to where your customers can purchase your products from. You can also make interesting creative banners from Canva which lets you make them for free and post them on social media or do Ad campaigns.

• Affiliate marketing

Affiliate marketing is when you promote someone else’s product and are paid a commission for converting the lead into a customer. So that means that in order for you to get money, you need to make people purchase that product. You can partner with brands by signing up for their affiliate programs and they will give you a special link that you will send to your customers so that they purchase the product, and you make the commission.

• Email Marketing

As the statement states, this will involve emails. Here you will be sending targeted emails from your email list to potential and existing customers. You can get these emails from your blogs by telling people to sign up to your daily or weekly newsletters for the latest updates. This will help you grow your email list and start making money from it.

Search engine optimization also known as SEO can be used strongly to make money. SEO involves optimizing your website or blog content so that search engines can easily find your website and push it out more to your audience.

What can you sell using Digital Marketing?

• Physical Products

Physical products is when you sell items you can ship to customers, like clothing, electronics, or handmade goods. So basically these are products you have on hand and when someone makes a purchase you package them and ship them to the customers location.

• Affiliate Products

Affiliate products can be obtained from signing up for affiliate programs for example, Share a sale, Amazon affiliates, travel pay outs, Impact, Partner stack, Rakuten advertising and many others. You can open up a website where you can advertise your products since most social media platforms don’t promote your product if it has direct affiliate links. You can use websites like Hostinger which is my current host (Get 30% offer when you use my link), Wix, WordPress and others. when you sign up for these programs you will be given a special link that you can use to promote these products.
