It&#8217;s important to know how to deal with them to do the best possible work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4 &#8211; Launch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The next stage of a marketing plan is the launch of what you planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sounds easier than it really is, and you will need to know some fundamental platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&#8217;ll talk more about them right below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shall we continue?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6 Must-Know Digital Marketing Tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/leadster.com.br\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/6-ferramentas-de-marketing-digital-obrigatorias-de-conhecer.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11443\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, continuing the conversation about launching, we&#8217;ve brought some basic publishing tools you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And some others related to your daily work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s start with the most fundamental ones: a CMS (WordPress), Google, and Meta:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">WordPress &#8211; the CMS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>CMS is a type of software capable of organizing all the content of a website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To launch a blog, for example, you&#8217;ll need a configured CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To add a new page to your site as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most used CMS today is WordPress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s free and open source, and offers a huge variety of plugins that are very easy to install.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastering WordPress completely is not necessary for those learning about digital marketing for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you need to understand how to make simple posts on blogs right away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Meta &#8211; the former Facebook<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need to start studying how sponsored posts work on Meta&#8217;s different platforms: Facebook, Instagram, Instagram stories, and Instagram Reels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But don&#8217;t worry: this work is more specialized and doesn&#8217;t dive into digital marketing for beginners as much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What you&#8217;ll need to know well are issues like the timing of posts, how to manage multiple saved profiles on the same phone, how two-factor authentication works, and simpler issues like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Google Tools<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Google has a series of free marketing tools for those who use the platform to advertise and generate organic traffic on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are no requirements: everyone can use them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Only Google Ads, the ad platform, charges for ads, but that&#8217;s more than expected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you also need to know and master the following tools: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Google Analytics;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Data Studio;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Ads;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Google Search Console.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The most important one for those researching digital marketing for beginners is by far Google Analytics.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through Google Analytics, you can track the performance of your site&#8217;s traffic, both organic and paid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With it, you have information like how many people accessed each page of your site in the period you want (including in real-time), how long they spent reading those pages, and if, after reading, they continued on the site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expanding on the Google Ads work, we have Google Search Console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tool is very robust and shows data that relate your pages to the position they reach on Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Email Dispatch Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Email marketing is part of the inbound marketing strategy and consists of maintaining a relationship with your leads through email automations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building automations is also quite specialized work, and no one will expect you to master them in a junior position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But at the same time, knowing the platforms and how they work is a great idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Inbound Marketing Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The largest inbound marketing platform in the market is HubSpot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Through it, you can create automations for all stages of the customer journey and marketing funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mastering RD Station is a long-term task, but it&#8217;s interesting to start taking your first steps now that you&#8217;re researching digital marketing for beginners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What the platform does is simple but very necessary:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Lead organization by qualification;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integrations with Meta for performance analysis and conversion indicators;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creation of nurturing flows;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creation and dispatch of emails;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Creation of landing pages for lead generation;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Integration with Google Analytics for traffic monitoring;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Among several other super interesting and necessary functionalities in the routine of those who work with marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But as I said: you need to know the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Know what the platform can offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to be an expert immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chatbot Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Conversational marketing is one of the biggest trends in digital marketing today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginner or not, it&#8217;s very worthwhile to learn more about the methodology and the tools that enable it: especially chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A chatbot platform adds a small bubble to your site, where your visitors can interact to download materials or request immediate assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best thing about chatbots is that they work 24\/7.
