You will often hear digital marketing specialists say that there is no proven method for online success. It is easy to get caught in a frenzy of trying every single marketing strategy out there, in the hope that it will catapult your business to instant success. What often happens is that you cannot see the results of your digital labour or anyone else's because you do not know enough about what's under the hood, or how to track your website's performance. As a result, you waste time and money. This is your business. Do not be ignorant. You will need to teach yourself about the digital landscape before launching any online business. I am not saying you need a diploma, but you should understand the fundamentals.
