1. Storytelling skill

We live in an era where people people’s attention is focused on their lives and jobs. Unless you could get something else to grab their attention urgently, you would continue to miss prospective customers. Telling a story at the beginning of your marketing skill would want the customer to read till the end.

But in order to utilize this, the key is to telling a story that illustrates the product you are marketing.
For instance, if you want to market a body cleanser product, telling a story of war is bad approach.   

2. Flexibility

There are three constant things in life. - Change, critics and challenges. We respond with changes based on the critics and challenges that we encounter. However, it is best to respond with flexibility and follow the trending values of the system.
This would not only help you to be a good marketer but it would also help you to keep your relevance in the digital marketing world.

It does not matter if you plan to run a campaign on Facebook; it pays to be dynamic if Facebook is not trending in your society. Even though your product marketing could reach anyone and anywhere in the world, the targeted people are you customers. If your customers are not Facebook users, then you should be flexible enough to change your marketing strategy by following the trending social media where your customers are.

3.  Understand digital marketing tools

If you do not understand a problem, it is impossible to solve it. Also, you might have lots of tools at your disposal but if you have no slight idea of how it works, it would definitely be useless.

There are numerous digital marketing tools that you could utilize to advance your career in digital marketing. You should make it a goal to learn the basics of some of these tools and make a plan to be an excellent expertise at a few tools that are at your disposal as a digital marketer.

Try to research for webinars, courses, and enroll for it. There is always a new thing to learn in any career you are into. Therefore, keep learning and adding to your values. There are some techniques that are used in digital marketing before but as time passes by, it becomes outdated. This where the place of research comes in. it keeps you and your skills updated.
 
Most especially, get a mentor that would guide you through the new world you are trying to sojourn. There are various ways in which you can get a mentor. It does not necessarily have to be a physical presence of mentors.            

5. Analytics understanding

A digital marketer that does not understand analytics is not likely to progress or advance in his career. This is because the analytics system shows every details of what goes on with your traffic. You need to clearly understand this in order to know where a larger volume of your traffic is coming from. Once you know this, you could convert some, if not all into your customers.
