The IONOS Guide to Online Marketing: tips and expertise for all

There are many options and strate­gies for marketing content, products, and services online. In addition to tra­di­tion­al outlets (like banners or videos), e-commerce also lends itself par­tic­u­lar­ly well to gen­er­at­ing customer attention: methods like search engine, affiliate, and social media marketing are all part and parcel of a good online marketing mix. In our guide on the topic, we’ve compiled important in­for­ma­tion on the basics of online marketing and have also included plenty of expert-level tips.

Who should use our Online Marketing Guide?

From beginners to ex­pe­ri­enced pro­fes­sion­als, this guide offers in­di­vid­u­als of all com­pe­ten­cy levels relevant tips for suc­cess­ful online marketing. And online marketing basics are just as much a part of this guide as expert-level topics (‘Cloaking–an SEO blackout’ or ‘Canvas fin­ger­print­ing–web tracking without Cookies’). Readers looking to set up e-commerce platforms or become online marketers stand to gain a lot with this content. Small and midsized companies aiming to enter the online market or expand their marketing skills will also find useful resources here (e.g. ‘Creating a business plan for your online store’, ‘8 tips for suc­cess­ful online store marketing’, or ‘Suc­cess­ful social media marketing’).

How the guide is struc­tured

The articles are divided into four different sub­cat­e­gories. Under ‘Online sales’, you’ll find texts on how to construct and operate an online shop. In addition to the fun­da­men­tals of online marketing, there’s a lot of in­for­ma­tion on how to upgrade your web store located in this section. The sub­cat­e­go­ry, ‘Social media’ provides tips on how to win over customers and create campaigns within today’s con­ven­tion­al social media networks. Here, you can find out how to execute different strate­gies in varying levels of com­plex­i­ty. Under the keyword, ‘Search engine marketing’, there are articles on search engine op­ti­miza­tion (SEO), search engine ad­ver­tis­ing (SEA) as well as useful online marketing tips for relevant tools and tech­niques. The fourth and final sub­cat­e­go­ry, ‘Web analytics’, covers different ap­proach­es and tools for gathering data on visitor behavior and how to create web sta­tis­tics (e.g. with Google Analytics). IONOS’s Online Marketing Guide is a one-stop shop for clear and com­pre­hen­sive in­for­ma­tion on online business and online marketing.
