Measuring Performance
In this section, I will help you get started with crafting a Digital Marketing plan.
First step is to start by listing down specific goals.
To help you do this, you must understand your current standing. Leader, follower, first in the market?
Step 2 is drafting your buyer persona.
It may be fictitious, but personas must be firmly rooted in data to be relevant.
Who are your users? What are their needs? Why do they want your product? How does it solve their most painful problem?
Now that you have a goal and you know who your buyer persona is, what’s next?
The last step is to create a strategy that addresses each of your persona’s needs andelect channels which your target market frequents.
With the rich data available, you can finally say goodbye to hope marketing.

Email marketing is one of the oldest forms of marketing, yet still very effective.

Another cost-efficient way of advertising your product is through affiliates. Let's go through the hows of affiliate marketing.
Without a solid SEO strategy in place to ensure that you’re bringing traffic to your site, all your efforts will be put to waste. Let's go through what SEO means and how you can take advantage of this channel.
Finally, Conversion Rate Optimization or CRO. It's a process that involves understanding how users move through your site, what actions they take, and what's stopping them from completing your goals.
The most important but often missed step is tracking your marketing efforts.
If you don’t track your performance, you won’t determine if you're hitting your goals or if you are likely to repeat a flawed technique.
Let's end this course by discussing analytics and measuring your performance.
