Have you ever thought about buying a certain product, like a set of dumbbells, and then suddenly whenever you look at your phone, you’re seeing all sorts of ads for weight sets, protein powders, and gym memberships? It’s almost like your phone is reading your mind or something.
Well, that’s digital marketing, basically.
It’s like how back in the day you would watch commercials for toys, or cereal on TV, and then you’d beg your mom to buy them for you at the store.
But these days marketers have unprecedented access to the information you put out there online, allowing them to pinpoint you as the perfect potential customer, and deliver their messages directly to you, all day every day.
So digital marketing is actually an umbrella term that covers a wide variety of marketing tactics that take place within a digital landscape–like on your phone, your computer, through emails, or on social media.
But if you see a job posting from a company looking to hire a ‘digital marketer,’ they’re typically looking for someone who specializes in running ads on a PPC, or paid-per-click, basis.
Social media platforms like Meta make a significant portion of their money from collecting user data. They then use that data to help companies dial into a very specific audience to show their ads to.
Digital marketers will target a specific group of users based on certain metrics including age, gender identity, geographic location and even their online spending habits. Once digital marketers settle on a target audience and hit start, the platform will begin showing their ads to users who fit this specific profile.
The company running these ads then pays the platform for every click they get.
So, if you’re 31 years old, identify as male, and have joined a few fitness groups on Facebook, you’re probably going to be targeted by the pre-workout brands who pay Meta to place their ads in your feed.
…But if you’re 19 years old, identify as female, and engage with a lot of aesthetic, day in the life content on Instagram, you’re much more likely to see ads for something like cute stationery products.
This is what makes digital marketing so effective. As your personal interests and online behavior evolves over time, the ads you see will evolve right along with you.
But this is just the tip of the digital marketing iceberg.
SEO, or search engine optimization, is another industry sitting underneath the digital marketing umbrella.
SEO specializes in creating content like articles, landing pages, or ‘ahem’, YouTube videos, that will appear on the first page of search engines…like Google or YouTube when you search for specific terms…like digital marketing.
Then there’s influencer marketing, which us old folks called affiliate marketing back in the day.
If you watch a video and the content creator plugs a product and asks you to use a link or code in their bio to buy something…yeah, that’s affiliate marketing.
There’s also email marketing, which is, you guessed it, a marketing tactic that focuses on sending newsletters or other types of promotional material via email.
Of course, no one wants junk mail clogging up their inbox…but when done right, effective email marketing, like any form of digital marketing, should be so subtle you hardly even notice it.
Honestly, there is just way too much to cover in one video, so if you’re interested in learning more, be sure to let me know in the comments down below. Who knows, your idea may very well inspire an upcoming video…
See what I did there? Yeah, that was digital marketing, basically.
