4 TYPES OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE BLOG POSTS

You’ve spent years learning your craft, learning how to blend perfect combinations of colours, or creating the most intricate sculptures, perhaps you’ve taken some beautiful photos and you’re ready to share with the world. Except there’s one problem. There’s no one to share it to. Well that’s not true, Luckily for us we’re in the golden age of the digital world with everyone just a touch of a button away. It’s time to turn your art into a business. 1. Create your brand Pick a simple and catchy name to use on all your platforms. You don’t want to be too wordy or have underscores and other symbols in your business name. Also stray away from using different usernames on different platforms as this can be hard to recognise. Using keywords like ‘studio’ or ‘art’ to the end of your name is a great way to make yourself recognisable online. Figure out what makes your work yours, for example, are you a landscape artist or do you paint portraiture? maybe your work has more to do with certain concepts and ideologies. Make it clear to your audience what you do and how you want to be perceived. 2. Create a schedule Know when you’re working and stick with it – making sure you actually have content to upload is so important, treat it like a job and get your hours done. This doesn’t mean every post has to be a finalised work of art, many people who like your work would also be interested in your process, works in progress, before and afters, etc. Consistency is key! – Make sure you aren’t posting once every couple months, people will become uninterested and unfollow. Make a schedule that’s doable for you, maybe it’s once a week in the beginning but work up to posting more often, even every day. 3. Set your prices Don’t undersell yourself! But also don’t oversell if you’re just starting out! Set yourself an hourly rate as you work. However, if you’re just starting out, one piece may take you a much longer time than it should as you navigate your way through the medium, so be aware and lower that rate for until you gain more confidence! Pricing your finalised art works can be tricky, on top of your base hourly pay you have the cost of materials and then you also would want to be making a profit. There’s no one correct way to price but a lot of it comes down to the actual piece itself, that is something to measure with your heart. How much would you pay for it? Understand your target market – How old are they? Who are they? Who do you want them to be? Does your work fit in the broader marketplace? 4. Make connections Follow other artists, engage with their accounts. Making friends can lead you to bigger opportunities in the future. You can even join artist groups on social medias such as Facebook, it's a great way to meet and find opportunities local to you. Use this time not as just a way to find other artists but also learn from them. Everyone navigates the art and business world differently; we all started from different places and have tips of our own that can be shared. 5. Make it legal Selling your art is a business so you must treat it like one, legally too. Start with choosing your business structure. For most, a sole proprietorship is the best way to go. It’s simple and easy and fits most artistic practises. You get to be your own boss, keep all your profits and if circumstances change its easy to change your legal structure. However, if you’re producing large scale works of art then maybe you need a little more help with a bigger business structure. Be wise and spend time working on marketing your art, it may not seem as important as actually making your work, but in the bigger picture this is how you find your audience and get the recognition you deserve!

Being digitally literate with Instagram means understanding the affordances that come with the application, but it does not stop there. Being literate with Instagram also means that you understand to not spam/be rude in the comments section or even knowing the best time to post on social media. This is why being digitally literate is one of the most important necessities for digital media marketers. Never stop learning In the digital media industries, trends come and go. Additionally, there is always going to be new technology that expands and opens new possibilities of the digital media scene.

Hi, this is Coco from the international institute of digital marketing. In today’s podcast, I will be providing a comprehensive Beginners' Guide to becoming an Affiliate Marketer in 2021. I am sure we all dream of making money in our sleep. In today’s digitally driven world, this is actually possible via affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is a monetization model that is low in risks and easy to execute. Simply put, an affiliate marketer makes money by promoting a company's product through a referral link. Here’s a simplified guide on how to start your affiliate marketing business: The first step is to choose a digital platform for you to build an audience. This step will differ from person to person. Ranging from blog sites to social media platforms, it ultimately comes down to choosing the media you are most familiar with. The second step is to choose an audience and a niche to focus on. This should be something you are passionate about and genuinely interested in. For example, beauty, fashion, fitness, etc. This will allow you to create a more authentic narrative. And the third step is to link up with retailers and find products you want to promote in order to make money. There are a growing number of affiliate marketplaces today. Examples include Amazon Associates, Affiliate Future, and ClickBank. Alternatively, you can also search for brands and products you already enjoy and see if they have an affiliate program. The final step is to promote your product. This brings us to the content creation side of digital marketing. In essence, a good product review needs to be informative, personal, and authentic. This can be achieved through: Conducting your own in-depth research Create tutorial and “how-to” type of content Use relevant search terms So, are you ready to start your affiliate marketing business?

AdTech Fortunes After the Cookie: Podcast. As the cookie crumbles, What comes next for Digital Advertisers and Marketers? Is it time to ditch Chrome? How to prepare for the next step of digital advertising? Let’s dive in and find out …... Hi, I am Charu Shedha. And I am working as a Brand Marketing Analyst Intern With the International Institute of Digital Marketing. After months of speculations, Google has finally decided to phase out the end of third-party cookies by 2022 and this will soon be the reality for marketers. While the demise of third-party cookies is shaking up the world, marketers face the dual challenge of finding alternatives that enable identification and are privacy compliant. The growth of the ad tech world is highly dependent on their ability to use third-party products efficiently where they follow the consumer’s cross-web behavior and their preferences for targeted advertising. Have you ever wondered how Google, Facebook, and Amazon practice targeted marketing? They actually don't depend on third-party cookies; rather these platforms carry lots of data on an individual scale which directly helps them a target. These are known as “ Walled Garden”. Chrome is one of Google’s most powerful data-gathering tools. Now, how will this impact and what can marketers and advertisers do? No doubt the cookie crumbling will enhance the user's privacy and security but it will leave a huge void in advertising capabilities, especially for those dependent on data-driven digital marketing. But this is not the end, since the first-party cookie still stands tall in the game. Also, second-party data tie-ups can be leveraged for marketing and advertisers can see placing apps at the center of their data strategy. Contextual advertising is not affected by the new laws. Google is also coming up with Google’s Privacy Sandbox to strike the right balance between advertising revenues and a user’s right to privacy. Google wants its Privacy Sandbox to be a private ecosystem by default. Google has offered this technology for internet-based advertising. In this approach, groups of people with common interests could replace individual identifiers. This effectively hides individuals “in the crowd” and uses on-device processing to keep a person’s history private on the browser. This is a welcome change and we can expect more emphasis on user privacy and security with the new technologies coming up. Digital Marketing will surely see a huge shift in ad tech and martech sectors in the future around these changes. Thank you for listening.

Hello, my name is Chaitanya Raghuvanshi and I am one of the brand marketing analysts at the International Institute of Digital Marketing™. Utilizing social media to the full extent as a major digital marketing tool will help you advance in the career coaching and counseling industry. Here are 3 ways to leverage social media marketing for career counseling startups. Firstly, take advantage of Instagram reels and TikTok. Small businesses and startups are using reels and TikTok to create videos about their brand with the hopes of it blowing up. Regular posting along with relatable and informational content can increase your chances of blowing up. Tips on how to study or improve your career skills and talking about the negative impacts of career pressure on mental health could attract millions of users. Thirdly, consider LinkedIn as the go-to social media marketing platform for career guidance companies. LinkedIn enables users to connect with professionals in their career industry making it an ideal place for people needing career guidance. Lastly, ensure every customer activity is being noticed by the company. The comments section of every social media platform acts as a place where clients can ask any doubt, post a review or a complaint. Customers can directly message your company on social media about counseling appointments or prices and their questions can be answered within seconds.

#content #marketers #b2b Done right, #b2b #content marketingcan certainly match -- and sometimes, maybe even rival -- the creativity and appeal of the best b2cones. And we want to recognize the brands that are breaking that mold and creating great #content that grows fervent, dedicated audiences. 1. Cb insights: newsletter What it does well The cb insights newsletter shares some of the finest insights on technology, venture capital (vc), and emerging businesses, but it does so with fun images that ultimately relate back to the subject. The messaging remains relevant, even among the hint of silliness. Takeaway for #marketers: remember your buyer's goals When you’re dying to create truly unique, cutting-edge #content, it’s easy to stray from your organization’s mission and focus. 2. Mattermark: raise the bar What it does well Raise the bar rounds up the best stories about a variety of different industries, giving you a great snapshot of trends to watch and news stories to follow without having to search for them yourself. Takeaway for #marketers: educate your buyers Think about the problems that your product or service already aims to solve for customers. Then, turn that into relevant #content that’s going to both save time for and inform your audience -- and make it easy for them to access it. 3 . Unbounce: page fights (r.i.p.) What it does well Unbounce, a landing page software company, created an engaging microsite, page fights. Takeaway for #marketers: diversify your channels The internet is only going to become more crowded. And as the human attention span dwindles, that makes it even more important to create #content that engages and maintains your audience’s attention. 4. Deloitte insights What it does well Deloitte is a professional services company specializing in consulting, tech, auditing, and more. Creating informed, useful #content for individual, specialized audiences is core to its marketing strategy. Takeaway for #marketers: separate your buyer personas If your company has a number of specialties, creating #content microsites for each of them is one way to keep that information organized, discoverable, and easy to navigate. Plus, it can never hurt to establish your brand as a go-to resource. 5. Zendesk engineering What it does well Zendesk realized that there’s an audience to be tapped that’s seeking insights and expertise on the technical side of the product, so it used that to build an entirely independent #content property. Takeaway for #marketers: tell your brand story Dig beneath the surface of the solutions your company provides. You offer solutions -- but what is your process? What have you learned? That makes you do what you do so well, and how did you get there? #digitalmarketingagency #marketingtips #follow #smallbusiness #design #bhfyp #love #webdesign #like #photography #graphicdesign #content #art #fashion #bhfyp
