This one-of-a-kind Digital Marketing Strategies will introduce you into all aspects of developing a digital marketing strategy and plan. I’ve kept this course entertaining, with several assignments you can do to sharpen up your skills until your final lecture where we’ll write a marketing plan together. I aimed to turn this into the only course you’ll ever need to get you started with creating EFFECTIVE digital marketing strategies.

We'll discuss how you can speed up the strategic thinking process, create new goals, set priorities, and, most importantly, build a digital marketing plan with everything this includes: from establishing a buyer persona, to doing market research, keeping track of what your competitors are doing, and creating efficient strategies for the platforms that will work you and so much more.

I’ll also show you how you can use modern tools to create better strategies (you'll love this). I started this course with real strategy examples in mind because I believe you need to see what good strategies actually look like and not just hear about them.

I'll keep things simple and concise while I show you how YOU can come up with your own unique digital marketing strategy ideas and optimize your current marketing tactics to their full potential. This course for planning your marketing tactics and creating digital strategies is also a good fit if you're looking for extra motivation to get you started with creating a strategy that will work for you and your business.

Together we'll discuss both common and specific marketing situations so you can be prepared to create one for any audience and deliver the results they want. As a bonus, I am always available to answer any questions you might have. I'll use my experience and knowledge to guide you through this learning journey, help you improve your strategic thinking, and get you started with taking your marketing strategies one step further.
