Digital Marketing is a way to promote your products and services on worldwide with help of digital way like the Internet, tv commercial advertising, radio advertising and more. People or many marketers call it Internet marketing, but the Internet marketing is different and we know at it well, digital marketing revolves around the Internet, which explains why people tend to believe that digital marketing and Internet marketing are synonymous. Nonetheless, they are different. Internet marketing falls under the category of digital marketing. I will explain to you but first know how old is digital marketing.

“First popularized as a term in the early 2000’s, digital marketing has actually been around much longer.”

Like, WAY longer. About 100 years longer, to be exact.

Here’s a pic of the first digital marketer in history:

His name: Guglielmo Marconi.

What? Marconi?

Yup. In 1896 he was the first human to demonstrate a, “public transmission of wireless signals.”

This dude invented the radio.

Shortly after his little demonstration in England, morse signals were transmitted across open water.

And, while it would take another 10 years for the radio to reach the general public, it sure didn’t take the creators long to realize they could use it to sell stuff.

The 2 main pillars of digital marketing are :

online marketing & offline marketing.
