Marketing has always been about connecting with your audience in the right place and at the right time.

• Search Engine Optimization (SEO):- The process of optimizing your website to ‘rank’ higher in search engine results pages, therefore increasing the amount of organic (or free) traffic that your website receives.

• Affiliate Marketing:- A type of performance-based advertising where you receive commission for promoting someone else’s products or services on your website.
• Native Advertising:- Native advertising refers to advertisements that are primarily content-led and featured on a platform alongside other, non-paid content. BuzzFeed sponsored posts are a good example, but many people also consider social media advertising to be ‘native’ — for example, Facebook advertising and Instagram advertising.
