DIY DIGITAL STRATEGY’S MISSION

My mission is to empower the do it yourself marketer with the knowledge to grow their business through effective and proven digital advertising strategies across Google, Facebook, YouTube, etc. This is based from working at Google, leading Rise Marketing Group and being in the industry since 2005.

Digital advertising isn’t rocket science, if anyone has a business with a website, they can efficiently and effectively advertise their site to drive customers with a strong return on investment. However, it takes an understanding to know what to do, and just as important what not to do. Companies make millions from digital advertising annually, but there is also a camp of companies that lose their shirt, the reason is they blindly go into digital advertising without fully understanding which platforms to focus on and how to set up each platform to maximize success.

My goal is to cut through the clutter and share top strategies and helpful tips so you can grow your business through digital advertising. To support your efforts, my site offers a few helpful resources.

WHY I STARTED DIY DIGITAL STRATEGY?

I’m Ben Lund, a 14+ year digital advertising vet who founded Rise Marketing Group. As you’ll see within the video at left, I genuinely love digital advertising. I landed into this career in the mid 2000’s and have grown with the industry. To me, it’s just as exciting today as it was when I was working at Yahoo! in the mid 2000’s launching custom digital sponsorships across Yahoo!.

I love the fact that you can create digital campaigns and see how that can impact business growth. To me it’s all about finding ways to build digital relationships with your potential customers. Once you’ve built the relationship, progress them into customers, then even loyalists.

Additionally, there are so many resources and ways businesses can connect with customers through digital. It’s pretty much endless, from advertising on Facebook and Instagram, to Google, and other programatic advertising platforms. However, there are certain approaches that perform very well at driving business outcomes, which I share within my blog.

As mentioned earlier, the challenge is it takes a full understanding of each advertising platforms (Google Ads, Facebook Ads, etc.) to make your advertising profitable for your business. If you don’t know what you’re doing, you could easily waste a lot of money. However, with a bit of homework and reading up on best practices, most people will be able to run successful (and profitable!) advertising campaigns.

Advertising can work, and work very well. I’ve experienced, first hand, countless business what grew considerably through advertising strategies that are mentioned within this blog. Digital advertising works, but it takes time to fully understand how to leverage each platforms appropriately.

With that, feel free to peruse my blog posts and even take my Digital Advertising Courses, so you can feel confident on the strategies you’ll execute to grow your business.
