In the digital marketing world the terms paid media, owned media and earned media have been becoming increasingly popular.  *1.) POEM - P aid, O wned, E arned M edia Paid media means that you are paying to drive traffic to your content. A brand typically decides to utilize paid media when it wants to kick off exposure of content. The most common way to launch a paid media campaign is to use and advertising platform like Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn.

Using Social Media and doing the Business are nowadays in the Times of Internet something INDISPENSABLE. Especially when you are PHOTOGRAPHER, I believe. Living in 2020 and not promoting yourself online, would be like going back to Medieval Times and "committing professional suicide" ;). More "Pro" is rather using old techniques  like analog photography, but adapting them to the modern world marketing. Obviously the first "obligatory" tool for Photographer is Instagram, but also FaceBook is helping to get to the Customers even quicker.                           In the beginning I thought that when being the Photographer, the first thing to compose would be the own website with the whole portfolio, but actually it is much easier to promote your work on FaceBook, where you can join special groups where customers search for photographers or photographers communicate each other about their questions and expe...

Being already on Advanced level of the course can slightly dizzle with so much information gathered. *a Therefore in the current post I presented the condensed and adapted to my business content. *b The Business Model Canvas is a tool used by business owners and managers to plan their strategy and business model. It can be used to plan any sort of business. It divides a business into 9 parts and can describe any business type and size. *1 What I found most interesting/tricky in creating the Business Model Canvas, in my opinion, is that we can learn a lot from our competition. We can choose some competitors and map their business models. Armed with this information we will have deep inside into what customers want and what they are willing to pay for. We will have a clearer picture of just how customer's needs are met across the entire industry, not just in our own company, based on successful or unsuccessful businesses' stories. *2 Thinking specifically on th...

(1.) There are many tools available on the market that helps to analyze the traffic on our websites. Although the most popular and also adequate one is as is previous examples the one available by Google - Google Analytics. Thanks to the tool we can measure the visitor information, such as: - What time customers/viewer arrives - How long they stay - What do they look at/ What they are searching for - How long do they stay - Demographics (gender, age, location, language) - New/Regular visitor - Access through PC or Phone I have 3 websites registered on y Google Analytics. One is my current Photography website that I use to promote my job. Second one is the blog that we crated on the DBS Digital Marketing course here. The third one is the new website that we created lately on the course, so I will rather concentrate on the first two, as I have much more data to compare there. I will start from my personal website, as per having more data there. The web...

(1.) SEO - stands for Search Engine Optimization. SEO is the process that improves the content of the website to make it easier to be found and highly ranked on a search engine. It helps to invite more visitors on the website by improving the visibility in search engine results. What about the "organic part"? SEO refers to the improvement of unpaid results (known as "natural" or "organic" results) and excludes direct traffic and the purchase of paid placement. (2.) Nowadays, the most powerful search engine is of course Google. They take 92.18% of the market (stats from July 2019). There are also different search engines like Bing or Yahoo, or Yandex in Russia, but if you want your website to be successful (and you do not live in a country that different search engine dominates) then pay attention to Google's rules on SEO. Moreover a website that does perform well on Google search, works well also on other search engines. Goo...

*(1.) What is wireframing in web design? As I see it, wireframing is just the "modern sketching". When you plan how your website will look like, you simply wonder about all the possible ways of presenting the content. Sometimes it can be hard to imagine and remember all the ideas in your head, therefore as we live in highly digitized society on the market appeared several tools to do such imagination plan of the future website. The example can be Balsamiq tool, that I used, as above. First slide presents the "home site" look of the photography website, that I find easy approachable. The second example is already presentation on the tab of photos. The third one is the phone look of the same website (one picture on the whole page). I didn't know about such tools when I was creating my first photo-website, so I was describing everything by words in the notepad, or just drawing. Now I can see some advantages of the tool, as it gives also some sugge...
