WHAT MOST PEOPLE GET WRONG ABOUT DIGITAL MARKETING

Digital marketing sounds exciting, right? Ads, analytics, content, clicks. But here’s the thing most people mess up they think it’s all about shouting louder than everyone else. It’s not. It’s actually about listening.

Most new brands rush to post on every platform. Instagram, linkedin, YouTube maybe even Pinterest if they’re feeling a little bold. But without a clear idea of who they’re talking to, all that noise turns into, well… Just noise.

What works better? Understanding your audience. Like, really understanding them. What keeps them up at night? What problems are they tired of dealing with? What’s the one thing they’re secretly googling at midnight? Answer that, even in a reel or a post, and you’ve already won.

Also, digital marketing isn’t about perfection. You don’t need the perfect reel or ad copy that sounds like it was written by a Fortune 500 company. Actually, people scroll past polished stuff all the time. But raw, honest, human posts? Those make people stop. A behind-the-scenes moment, a tiny win, a genuine mistake you learned from that’s the stuff that connects.

And don’t stress too much about algorithms. They change all the time. What doesn’t change is human attention. Keep it simple. Clear message, one goal per post, good visuals, and a call to action that doesn’t sound like a robot.

Email marketing? Still works. SEO? Still works. Even the basic stuff, if done well, beats “cool but confusing” strategies. So don’t overcomplicate it.Digital marketing is the art of being helpful, consistently and creatively. Get your message right. Say it often. Say it well. Don’t try to be everywhere just be where it matters.

The rest? It grows with time.
