2. It is difficult to come up with marketing ideas to boost the traffic to your website. You don’t know what works and what doesn’t. More importantly, you don’t know how much time and effort it would take. However, without marketing, you are just Harry Potter without his wand. So, I chose this blog post for all those who want to defeat Voldemort become an Auror :p
   
   For those of you who didn’t read Harry Potter, I just wanted to tell you that this blog post will teach you how to do Marketing the right way.

3. • Main structure of the article

   • This blog post is a listicle. The article lists 64 marketing ideas in 5 different categories.

   • 1. Social Media Marketing Ideas

     2. Urban Marketing Ideas

     3. Contest Marketing Ideas

     4. Marketing Ideas for Contest Promotion

     5. Content Marketing Ideas

   • Main takeaways

   • • If I had time to read only 2 of these 5 categories, I would read Content Marketing ideas and Contest marketing ideas.

     • If you are ready to start gathering subscribers in an unusual fashion, contest marketing is for you. You can start a contest by submitting your giveaways in websites like Rafflecopter. You can also submit your coupons in deal websites like Slick deals.

     • When it comes to content marketing, don’t restrain yourself to written content. Videos, infographics, memes, graphs and Cheat sheets are just some of the other formats that people love. I have tried to give a summary of the ‘Contest Marketing Ideas’ section, but I am not even close. It is so beautifully written and so informative, that it is worth the read.
