Digital marketing is
gonna change in 2019.What's been working for the
last few years is not anymoreand unless you watch this video,you're not gonna do as wellwith your marketing in
2019 that you'll like.Hi everyone, I'm Neil Patel and todayI'm gonna share with you
how digital marketingis changing in 2019
and what you need to doto thrive and succeed.(classical music)Before we get started,make sure you subscribe to this channel.As I release more marketing information,news and tactics and
strategies, you'll get notified.The first thing you need to
know is digital marketingis moving to omnichannel approach.You used to be able to build a businesswith just one channel.For example, Facebook grew
by just telling everyonehey, invite your friends.They would take that address
book, your address book,and invite all your friends automatically,even without your permission.That's changed.Those tactics don't work
as well as they used to.I'm not saying they don't work at all.They just don't work as
well as they used to.Marketing has moved to
omnichannel approachwhich now you have to use
tactics like growth hacking,pay per click, SEO, content marketing,social media marketing, banner ads.The list is never ending.The more channels you use,
the better off you're gonna bebecause most of these channels are crowdedbecause there are so
many online businesses.If you don't use all of them,you just won't do as well in 2019.The second thing you guys need to knowand most of you will not like this,search is moving to voice search.By 2020 Comscore estimates that
half the searches on Googlewill be through voice search.Right now, two out of every five adultsare using voice search.Yes, that means kids
aren't using it as much,but still by 2020 they're
saying half of all searches,not just from adults,
but half of all searchesare gonna be the voice search.If you've ever used voice search,leave a comment below with yes.If you haven't, leave the comment with no.Just curious to see how many of you guyshave tried out voice search.So if you wanna do well in 2019,you need to be leveraging voice searchand the way you do this is one,make sure your site is HTTPS
because most of the sitesthroughout the top are HTTPS these days.Two, your site needs to load fast.If it doesn't load fast,you're not gonna do as
well with voice search.Three, when people are
typing in questions,they're typically typing
in longer term phrasesso your questions, your answers
more so to these questionsneed to be short and to the point.If your answers are a paragraph long,you're not gonna do as wellcompared to if your answer
was one sentence long.The third one I have for you
is conversion optimization.Advertising is getting more
and more expensive over time.That's not gonna change.The only way you're gonna be
able to compete and stay aheadis through conversion optimization.The more you optimize your
landing page for conversions,the better off you're gonna be.Make sure you're using
tools like Crazy Eggwhich allow you to do A/B
test so you can squeezemore conversions from the
traffic you're getting.Make sure you're using
tools like Hello Barwhich allow exit intent email collection.Again this will help you get more revenuefrom the users and
visitors that you do have.If you don't do this,as years go on you're gonna get ground outby the competitors because
they're gonna spendmore money than you and
they're gonna crush youso focus on conversion optimizationeven though it's not sexy and most peopledon't like talking about it in marketing.The fourth tactic I have
for you is leverage funnels.Marketing funnelsare gonna be more popular
than ever in 2019.Before, people used to just
optimize their campaignsto hey, I'm buying ads, how
many sales am I getting.Now you need to look at up
sales, down sales, cross sales,lifetime value of a customer, churn.Whether you have a physical
product, digital productor you're doing lead generation,you need to track
everything from a visitorall the way to a conversion
point, that's revenue,for them to keep buying, the
lifetime value of the customerand that's why funnels
are really important.If you don't know how to create a funnel,go check out tools like clickfunnels.com.Number five, content marketing
just won't work as well.Think about it.Anytime you do a search,most of the articles that are at the topare content marketing.Blogging is so popular and so played outthat everyone is regurgitatingthe same information over and over again.Unless you're creating
amazing new informationthat people haven't heard before,you're not gonna do well.Content marketing just
won't work as easilyto get links or social sharesunless you're creating
amazing content that's newthat people haven't seen before.Number six, video content.You see me here.This is a video.You're engaging with me.If you're not, leave a comment.I'll show you, I'll respond back.Video content is the future.People wanna engage through video.And you know what?Facebook gives you more
views if it's video,YouTube gives you a ton of viewsand LinkedIn does as well.You need to be leveraging video.You can't take it for granted.Number seven, this is
the last one for you.Podcasting is taking over.Did you know that 45% of the
people who listen to podcastshave a household income of above $75,000?That's a ton, that's a lot of money.That means if people are
listening to your podcast,they're gonna be better buyersthan most marketing channels out there.You need to create a podcast.Everyone is using their phones these days.Everyone is driving to work.Podcasting makes it easy
where people can listento your content on the go.Such a hectic world out there.You need to have a podcast
so people can listen to youwhile they're dealing
with their hectic life.So that's it.Leverage these strategies.You'll do much better in 2019.Thank you guys for watching.Make sure you comment,
like, subscribe, share.Let everyone know about this content.I appreciate it.
