SEO

This is a technique by which you can get free traffic to your website, or page. If you follow the best practices, the visibility of your site will improve, thus more people will know about it and visit it, and if they get the best customer experience will interact with it.

SMM

Like SEO, SMM also brings quality traffic to your website. You can tell about your business on your Facebook, Instagram pages, and run ads on them. You can leverage the growing popularity of Instagram. However, this is a time-consuming process.

Content Marketing

SEO, SMM, or any digital marketing strategies won’t work without content. It should be contextual, easy-to-comprehend, and attractive. In this age, using only text and images won’t be enough. We would like to emphasize the importance of video content. Also, you can try to use interactive content on your website. 

PPC

If SEO brings free traffic to your website, PPC will bring paid visitors. Here, you have to pay for each click your ad will get. Google Adwords is the best platform to do this.

Email Marketing

This is the oldest method of digital marketing, and it is not going away. You can send personalized content and newsletters to your customers. Similarly, you can also inform them about the latest sales, discounts and offers you are giving.

Affiliate Marketing

In this method, you can ask someone else to promote your products and services for a specific fee. These people, or influencers, will discuss these products on their own channels, Youtube, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

Native Ads

Place a list of suggested articles at the end of your website article. This is a category of content marketing. If your consumer loved your article, chances are they will love others too. In this way, you can generate a steady traffic source.

New strategies are constantly discovered and the existing ones are improved. Use a combination of these strategies to get the best results for your business.
