Before running ads or chasing followers, you need to understand the system underneath digital marketing. This course explains how businesses attract attention online, turn visitors into customers, and measure whether any of it worked. You will map a real marketing funnel, study how content, search, social media, and email fit together, and plan a simple campaign for a real or imaginary business. No marketing background is needed.
