How to Start A Career in Digital Marketing in 2020 | Digital Marketing

 





Today I'm going to share with you how you can start your career in digital marketing in 2020. Digital marketing is exploding. Google makes over 100 billion a year through ads. Facebook's generating over 40 billion a year through ads. If you want to learn digital marketing and jumpstart your career, now is the perfect moment to do so.

Here's what the first thing I want you to do: I want you to start your own website.
You need to go out there, create a WordPress blog, or any type of site, I prefer WordPress, but you need to start a site. If it's e-commerce related, start a Shopify site.

The best way to learn marketing is to start your own website.

Step two, take all the competitors you have, if you don't know what they are, you already created that website, and it should be a site that you're passionate about, the industry that you're in. If you don't know any competitors, take those keywords, whatever industry you're in, like astrology, marketing, Google them and you'll find URLs.
Pop them into a tool called UberSuggest. These are all the URLs that are ranking for these keywords you're going after.
This will show you how much traffic your competition is getting per region. It'll also show you the top pages that your competition is getting traffic from, and it shows you all the keywords that are driving traffic to your competition.

Go look at those top pages, figure out which key terms are driving the traffic, have high volume, high cost per click, and a low search difficulty, because these are the ones that are the easiest to go after first, and have the most valuable traffic.
Now that you've seen this, the next thing you need to do is click on the top pages report.

The top pages report will show you all the top pages for all your competitors, how many visits are getting to each of those pages, how many social shares do they have, how many backlinks do they have.

And here's what I want you to do next now that you have this data. 


So you want to take all the people that linked to your competitors, you've seen that from UberSuggest, it shows you a laundry list of all the people that linked to your competitors, what you want to do is reach out to all those people following the email template I share on this video.
Go look at those pages, then write a better version of that page. Don't just create something that's similar, one up them. 
When you've done that, then the next step for you is to promote your content.
Next I want you to go to Twitter search, type in that URL of your competition, and it'll show you all the people who share that content on Twitter.
Hit them all up, ask them to share your content using the template I'm sharing in this video. 
You can't build a brand without collecting emails. You can use free tools like Hello Bar, limits sliders, pop-ups, I do that on neilpatel.com, it's a great way to collect more email address, so then when you get people to come back to your site you'll start building a brand.
You did that with links, you're now doing that with emails, you're going to get more traffic, as you get more traffic, you'll start getting results.

The next thing I want you to do is to start collecting emails.

It's not just about getting people to your site, it's about building a brand. 
The next thing I want you to do is to install a free tool called https://subscribers.com/
This leverages push notification. What Subscribers allows you to do is have people subscribe to your site with just one click, and that way you can just keep getting them back to your site 
through the browser notifications, has amazing results, especially when you combine that with email.

The last thing I want you to do is to start selling something, whether it's a physical product, a service, doesn't matter, you can do lead generation, you can sell products through affiliate marketing, I just want you to sell something because when you learn to sell, you're learning the full suite of marketing.

It's not just about driving traffic, you need to convert those visitors into customers.
And if you want a bonus tip, this is all you guys who are overachievers, run an AB test. There's a lot of solutions out there like https://www.crazyegg.com/ that allow you to do this, but you can run an AB test to maximize your conversion rate.

Once you've done that, you'll jump start your career into digital marketing. 


Profiting from Your List of Subscribers

 



In order to make a profit from your list, you need to first start helping your subscribers solve their problems. Prove to them that you have solutions to whatever problems they may be having. If people believe you can help them, they will become much more willing to purchase whatever you offer them.

The profitability of your list will depend on many factors.

1. Your chosen niche - If very few people are interested in your niche, it will be much harder to sell a product or service.

2. The size of your list - If your list is very small, you will have fewer people to market to and to profit from.

3. How targeted the list is - If your list is not very targeted, many of those on your list may not be interested in what you are promoting to them. In addition, if your product appeals mainly to a particular age bracket or even a specific gender, it will be difficult to profit from anyone who do not fit those particular criteria.



4. How often you send an email to your list - If your list rarely hears from you, people will be less likely to open and read any emails you send them and more likely to report your emails as spam.

5. The relationship you have with your list - People are more apt to purchase from those they know and trust, so you need to build a relationship with your subscribers.

6. The knowledge level of your list - If your list consists primarily of new internet marketers, it will be impossible to sell them an advanced email marketing product when they don't even know the basics. This is why you need to research who your targeted audience is before you even start building your list.

A list enables you to make money in several different ways:

• You can sell your own products to the people on your list.

• You can promote affiliate products.

• You can send your subscribers to your monetized blog.

• If you publish a newsletter or e-zine, you can sell advertising space. While many marketers do this, do this VERY rarely if at all. Your subscribers are looking for information in your niche and may become annoyed if your newsletter contains ads.

• If you have a large and responsive list, you could sell solo ads. If you are not sure what a solo ad is, it is an email sent to your list which contains ONLY a single ad. 

However, your advertiser is looking to sell their product or service so they will not advertise with you again unless they get a good response.

Once your subscriber, or anyone else for that matter, purchases a product from you, always follow-up with a thank you email. Thank them for their purchase and let them know if they have any questions, they can email you. Since most marketers do not do this, you will be not only be building your relationship with your buyers, you may turn them into repeat customers.
