The first of a series to understand digital marketing and how to apply it to small businesses.
Digital marketing is marketing that utilizes online-based digital technologies such as websites, social media platforms, email marketing, and other digital media platforms to promote products and services.
Remember: You don’t have to use a social media platform just because it exists.
This opens the door to say that you want to spend your time and possibly even your marketing budget where it matters to YOUR business.
Performance Marketing Basics:

Pay-per-click is an internet advertising model used to drive traffic to websites, in which an advertiser pays a publisher when the ad is clicked. Pay-per-click is commonly associated with first-tier search engines. With search engines, advertisers typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market.
