The marketing mix online

Digital marketing is how you reach and convert an audience through online channels. The main ones:

  • SEO — earning free traffic from search.
  • Social media — building an audience and community.
  • Content — articles, videos and guides that attract and educate.
  • Email — the highest-ROI channel for nurturing leads.
  • Paid ads — buying attention on Google and Meta.
  • Analytics — measuring what works.

They work as a system: content fuels SEO and social; social and search drive traffic; email nurtures it; ads accelerate it; analytics tells you where to invest.
