Note:  This post is for beginners, so you can skip this and read other posts if you are proficient in social media data analysis.    What is Analytics or Data Analysis? Useful information is called data. It can be in multiple forms, such as descriptive or numerical. For example, the number of people who have visited your site or liked your post.

Learn these basics of effective communication so that your next post is stellar from a communication perspective. Let's learn them...

Digital Marketing is an offshoot of traditional marketing. The principles that are applicable in marketing are equally applicable in digital settings. We have the famous 4 Ps of marketing, which are the basics of any marketing strategy. They stand for Product, Price, Place, and Promotion. Marketers blend these 4 Ps in a specific way to devise a perfect marketing strategy.  Let's assume you are an Instagram Influencer and want to use these variables to make your marketing strategy.  1. Product: In our case (social media celebrity), the product is actually you. You have a personal brand to market. Companies keep on experimenting with the packaging, size, features, etc., of a product just to renew interest. Ever wondered why Lux keeps adding almonds, honey, milk, etc., to beauty soaps? They are experimenting with the product. You can do the same. You can add frills similar to physical products. You can make yourself more compelling by learning new skills, trying new experiences,...
