Most Businesses Are Missing The Point...

Let’s call out the obvious:

A lot of businesses have tried creating content but gave up after their strategy (or lack thereof) failed to produce tangible results.
That’s unfortunate…

…But what’s even MORE unfortunate is that millions of businesses right this second are continuing to create content every week with nothing to show for it but a handful of vanity followers and a shrinking business…hoping something, ANYTHING, starts working soon.

Here’s the critical point they’re missing:

Content without a content marketing strategy is an expensive mistake.

When it comes to business, all content should be created with a clear purpose to move a customer or potential customer along the customer value journey.

Remember, it’s called Content Marketing for a reason 🙂

Good vs Bad Content Marketing

Start Turning Content Into Customers

content

At its simplest, content should inspire your audience to take an action. That doesn’t always mean “buy right now”, in fact that’s rarely recommended.

Sometimes the action is simply “watch the video” or “read the post” or “listen to the podcast”, but when your audience takes those actions, the content is strategically created to move them deeper into a trusting relationship with your brand that should influence an immediate or future sale.

When done right, content and sales flow seamlessly from one to the other. 

Like this:

“Ok, great, I get it…now how do I actually CREATE and DISTRIBUTE strategic content?”

Start Using The "CDA" Framework

In this certification course, you’ll learn how to leverage the “CDA” framework to strategize, create and distribute content that just plain WORKS.

Here’s DigitalMarketer’s President (and instructor for this certification course), Mark De Grasse explaining this powerful framework:

CDA
This is where YOU come in…

Content Marketing So Good They Can't Ignore You

Content marketing delivers traffic, leads and customers: The lifeblood of any business.

…if it’s done right.

Staying competitive as a marketer or business owner requires being in the know about current tactics, strategies, and frameworks that get results today.

For TOO LONG, content marketing has been overly complicated, poorly explained, and misunderstood…until now.

By the time you’re done with this certification course, you’ll be expertly trained and uniquely qualified to help businesses convert content into organic traffic and sales.

You’ll be able to confidently answer questions like:

• How does content lead to sales?

• How much time and money should you spend on it?

• Does content really have revenue-driving value?

• How much and how often should content be created?

Frequently Asked Questions

The certification itself is highly valuable if you need to set yourself apart from the competition. What’s far more valuable than any badge or certificate, however, is the actual knowledge you’re going to receive when you take this class and pass the final exam. 

Yes, you may retake the test up to 2 times (for a total of 3 attempts). After 3 failed attempts, you will be required to retake the class (which you can do for free) before attempting the final exam again.

You can move at your own pace! We understand that life happens and that just because you enroll today, that doesn’t mean you’ll be able to finish (or even start) the class this week. And that’s ok! Take as long as you like. We aren’t going anywhere, and neither is this certification.

This class is 7 hours of video training, so if you are working at it full-time you could technically complete the class and take all the tests in one day (although this is not recommended). To fully understand and apply the materials, you should allow 2 – 7 days if you are working full-time, and 7 – 14 days if you are taking the class part-time.

No. A certification that can simply be purchased isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. That’s why our courses are challenging. If we’re going to allow you to display a DigitalMarketer badge, you better believe you’re going to have to earn it.

The certification is actually included for free, with the class itself making up 100% of the cost. Consider the personalized certification and badge an added bonus and proof of your distinguished achievement as a Content Marketing Specialist.

You’ll find that the test is “satisfyingly difficult.” By that I mean, it’s difficult enough that you need to actually know the materials, but it isn’t tricky or difficult just for the sake of being difficult. That said, to preserve the exclusivity and importance of this designation, we have made the tests challenging. The questions do pertain to our proprietary methodologies, so you shouldn’t expect to pass the test just because you have taken other marketing trainings or courses in the past. This training is different, and the exams will reflect those differences.

This is an “On-demand” training that you can access at any time.

Once your payment is submitted, you will receive an email with your login details for our flagship product, DigitalMarketer Lab, where you’ll be able to access the training. It is a go-at-your-own-pace training so you don’t have to worry about missing anything.

 

No problem. We offer a full 30-day money-back guarantee on your purchase, so if you don’t agree that it’s worth every penny, we will promptly refund your money. No questions asked. No hassle. 

Just send an email to support@digitalmarketer.com, and if you’re still within the generous refund period, a member of the DigitalMarketer team will happily process your request.

At this time no scholarships are available. Fortunately, we have priced our classes so that they are affordable to all, especially compared to similar certification classes.
