How do I clearly define the goals for my digital marketing project?
Start by identifying what you want to achieve. Is it more sales, increased website traffic, or better brand awareness? Be clear and detailed about your objectives. This will help the digital marketer create a plan that works best for you.
What should I include in my digital marketer job description?
List the key tasks you need done, like social media management or email campaigns. Include the skills you're looking for, such as experience with SEO or paid ads. Also, mention any tools or platforms you want them to use. This helps attract marketers who can meet your needs.
How can I decide which digital marketing channels to focus on?
Think about where your customers hang out online. Are they on social media, or do they search mostly on Google? Your goals will also affect this choice. Discussing this with your marketer can help find the channels that will work best for your project.
What kind of timeline should I set for project deliverables?
First, decide when you want the project completed. Then, work backwards to set deadlines for each milestone. Be realistic, considering how much work needs to be done. This helps the marketer manage their time efficiently.
How can I review the digital marketer’s past work effectively?
Look for case studies or portfolio pieces that show similar work. Check if their previous projects achieved good results. Ask if the marketer can provide testimonials or references. This can give you confidence in their skills and experience.
What details should I include in our agreement to ensure clarity?
Write down the tasks, deadlines, and any specific strategies you expect. Include the budget and payment terms, even though Contra is commission-free. This agreement can serve as a clear roadmap for both you and the marketer.
How frequently should we have check-ins to monitor progress?
Decide on a regular schedule that works for both parties. Weekly or bi-weekly check-ins can keep everything on track. During these meetings, review what’s been done and any adjustments needed. This helps prevent surprises and keeps the project moving smoothly.
What can I do to facilitate a smooth onboarding process?
Provide all necessary access to tools and platforms. Share your brand guidelines and relevant documents. Being available for questions can help the marketer settle in quickly. This ensures they start the project without any hitches.
How can I evaluate if the digital marketer is a good cultural fit?
Observe how they communicate and if it aligns with your brand’s tone. Consider their work style and if it matches your company's workflow. A marketer who fits well culturally is more likely to produce work that resonates with your audience.
