What is Digital Marketing? | Digital Marketing Training
The term digital marketing has been referred to for two decades now as a subset of marketing management and advertising management.
But with the advent of information technology in recent years, the increasing average time of users online, the widespread use of mobile phones and the increasing Internet Penetration Rate in the world, is considered as an independent knowledge and expertise today.
Definition of digital marketing
Site HubSpot of prestigious sites in the field of digital marketing and content strategy is the definition of digital marketing to point out that this is an Umbrella Term is considered.
In other words, rather than being a straightforward definition, it is better to know all those techniques and tools that fall under the heading of digital marketing.
Although there is no single definition of digital marketing, the following definition seems to be a good part of the common definition of digital marketing ( + ):
Digital marketing includes a set of tools and activities that are used to market products and services in the digital platform (web, internet, mobile or other digital tools).
Digital marketing or digital marketing tools
The following are examples of digital marketing tools :
Search Engine Marketing (SEM) [including organic and purchased traffic]
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Click-through Advertising (PPC)
Influencer Marketing
Banner Advertising
e-mail marketing
Mobile marketing (or its old term: mobile advertising)
Affiliate Marketing
Digital Viral Marketing
Sometimes the Tools menu Digital Marketing, the ads targeted and customized (Targeted Advertising) as well as direct advertising (Native Advertising) is mentioned.
But since these two headings are actually more inclusive and not overlapping (they can cover other options), we didn’t list them above.
Note: There are already overlaps in the list above. But since this list is referenced in this way in many official books and references, we also used the common method.
Digital Marketing Headlines
In some lessons (including negotiation ) we provide supplementary headlines for instructors in that lesson.
For the Digital Marketing course, there is also a set of Digital Marketing Education headlines that can be useful and informative for those looking to study digital marketing as well as those working in digital marketing consulting:

A few digital marketing education books
The digital marketing book in Persian is not large enough for you to choose.
But in English, digital marketing education books are not lacking. While there are plenty of books on any of the digital marketing topics (for example, mobile marketing books or content marketing books and content strategy have their own big worlds).
So we can’t say the few books we introduce here are necessarily the best digital marketing books. But they are at least known and valid.
In addition, we have used and referenced them repeatedly in digital marketing lessons.
The New Rules of Marketing and PR
David Scott’s book New Laws on Marketing and Public Relations is a classic reference book on digital marketing.
This book has been repeatedly republished and the author has updated it to suit the needs and requirements of each time period.
Scott’s book deals more with the technical aspects of digital marketing than the technical aspects.
But it can be useful for anyone who is interested in digital marketing.
Internet discussions, direct marketing using digital tools, blogging, digital publishing of business news, SEO, social networks, podcasts, and other ways of producing content are some of the topics discussed in this book.
Of course, you shouldn’t expect to be surprised to read this book or come up with something new on every page.
But it can be said that the character of this book is to fine-tune the reader’s mind in the field of digital marketing and its subordinates, as well as the position of digital marketing in today’s business environment.
Everyone who works with computers knows the combination of the three Ctrl, Alt and Delete buttons: Reboot the computer.
When everything should start from scratch.
Mitch Joel, who has extensive experience in Internet marketing, has explored the role of digital tools in business transformation.
The book is like a collection of scattered posts on a blog. A blog about the business relationship with the digital world.
So open it up anywhere you can read and think about the tips.
But precisely for this reason, unlike David Scott’s book, the author’s claim is not (and should not be expected) that your mind should be regulated in this area. After reading the book, you may become even more disturbed than before.
But his points are so valuable that you occasionally examine them and dedicate a place to Mitchell’s words, advice, and analysis in your mind.
Joe Politzey has several books on content strategy and content marketing, each of which is useful in its own right, and we’ve mentioned them in related lessons.
But Epic Content Marketing can go beyond content marketing. Because it has taken into account many areas of digital marketing and discussed the role of content in each of those areas.
The book’s introduction is written by an SAP executive, and Politzie announces to the audience that she is going to have a set of digital marketing experiences and tips.
Targeting for content marketing, a content-based business model, a content calendar, and the use of various platforms and tools for digital marketing are some of the topics discussed in this book.
In one of our English reading reinforcement lessons, we have brought a piece of Pulitzer’s book with his own voice and explained it ( audience role in content marketing ).
