Some people refer to it as online marketing or online advertising. In a few years, it will have another name. While it has significant value, especially for business owners or entrepreneurs looking to brand themselves in their niche, I feel like it will have a new name in a few years. The name may change, but the impact and influence of digital marketing. Simply put, digital marketing is using the internet or digital technology for marketing.
