A thorough understanding of social media

While it isn’t the largest element to successful online marketing, social media is fast becoming a strong force within the industry. For that reason, you need to have an in-depth understanding of how all the most popular sites like Facebook and Twitter operate. Once you have this knowledge, working out the best ways to promote an individual company or band should be simple. For the most part, social media is used to help find new potential customers and catch the attention of the world. Through interesting updates and links to relevant articles, it’s possible to grow an audience exponentially in a matter of weeks.

A command of online advertising services

There were many different online advertising services a few years ago, and so understanding them all was a bit of a pain for everyone. However, internet search engine giants Google has excelled in this area and blown most of the other players clean out of the water. So, all you need is to know how to use their service “Adwords.” So long as you can get the results clients require using the targeting options available through this portal, you’ll be very desirable to marketing companies.

An in-depth expertise in link building

Your clients will want their websites seen by as many people as possible, which means you need to increase search engine visibility. That often means engaging in link building based around certain relevant keywords. While some marketing companies outsource this job, if you understand how to do it well, they will almost certainly use your skills. If you’re unfamiliar with this area, just search the term “guest posting” online and read a few articles. It’s very easy to get your head around. The only real downside is the amount of time it takes to see results.
