NAVTTC - Digital Marketing & SEO Course Outline

Government of Pakistan National Vocational and Technical Training Commission Prime Minister’s Hunarmand Pakistan Program "Skills for All" Course Contents/ Lesson Plan Course Title: Digital Marketing & SEO Duration: 3 Months Trainer Name Course Title Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Objective of Course Employable skills and hands-on practice for Digital Marketing & Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The course offers an in-depth exploration of fundamental concepts and theories influencing the online customer journey from a potential prospect to a buying customer. With the proper understanding of these, students would be able to design effective Digital Marketing campaigns on any channel and medium. The core and basic objectives of this course are to enable the aspiring entrepreneurs to decide what business to start and most importantly equip them with tools and knowledge to achieve initial traction & scale by viable Digital Marketing. This course develops skills to identify emerging marketing opportunities by challenging conventional wisdom and going out of the box. Besides, a great deal of emphasis is laid on a new business idea created and distributing it with the help of hands-on world-renowned conventional and unconventional marketing. Real-time case studies and relevant articles would be integrated throughout the course. Main Expectations: In short, the course under reference should be delivered by professional instructors in such a robust hands-on manner that the trainees are comfortably able to employ their skills for earning money (through wage/self-employment) at its conclusion. This course thus clearly goes beyond the domain of the traditional training practices in vogue and underscores an expectation that a market-centric approach will be adopted as the main driving force while delivering it. The instructors should therefore be experienced enough to be able to identify the training needs for the possible market roles available out there. Moreover, they should also know the strengths and weaknesses of each trainee to prepare them for such market roles during/after the training. I. Specially designed practical tasks to be performed by the trainees have been included in the Annexure-I to this document. The record of all tasks performed individually or in groups must be preserved by the management of the training Institute clearly labeling name, trade, session, etc so that these are ready to be physically inspected/verified through monitoring visits from time to time. The weekly distribution of tasks has also been indicated in the weekly lesson plan given in this document. II. To materialize the main expectations, a special module on Job Search & Entrepreneurial Skills has been included in the latter part of this course (5th & 6th month) through which, the trainees will be made aware of the Job search techniques in the local as well as international job markets (Gulf countries). Awareness around the visa process and immigration laws of the most favored labor destination countries also form a part of this module. Moreover, the trainees would also be encouraged to venture into self-employment and exposed to the main requirements in this regard. It is also expected that a sense of civic duties/roles and responsibilities will also be inculcated in the trainees to make them responsible citizens of the country. III. A module on Work Place Ethics has also been included to highlight the importance of good and positive behavior at the workplace in the line with the best practices elsewhere in the world. An outline of such qualities has been given in the Appendix to this document. Its importance should be conveyed in a format that is attractive and interesting for the trainees such as through PPT slides +short video documentaries. Needless to say that if the training provider puts his heart and soul into these otherwise non-technical components, the image of the Pakistani workforce would undergo a positive transformation in the local as well as international job markets. To maintain interest and motivation of the trainees throughout the course, modern techniques such as: • Motivational Lectures • Success Stories • Case Studies These techniques would be employed as an additional training tool wherever possible (these are explained in the subsequent section on Training Methodology). Lastly, evaluation of the competencies acquired by the trainees will be done objectively at various stages of the training and a proper record of the same will be maintained. Suffice to say that for such evaluations, practical tasks would be designed by the training providers to gauge the problem-solving abilities of the trainees. (i) Motivational Lectures The proposed methodology for the training under reference employs motivation as a tool. Hence besides the purely technical content, a trainer is required to include elements of motivation in his/her lecture. To inspire the trainees to utilize the training opportunity to the full and strive towards professional excellence. Motivational lectures may also include general topics such as the importance of moral values and civic role & responsibilities as a Pakistani. A motivational lecture should be delivered with enough zeal to produce a deep impact on the trainees. It may comprise of the following: • Clear Purpose to convey the message to trainees effectively. • Personal Story to quote as an example to follow. • Trainees Fit so that the situation is actionable by trainees and not represent a just idealism. • Ending Points to persuade the trainees on changing themselves. A good motivational lecture should help drive creativity, curiosity, and spark the desire needed for trainees to want to learn more. The impact of a successful motivational strategy is amongst others commonly visible in increased class participation ratios. It increases the trainees’ willingness to be engaged on the practical tasks for a longer time without boredom and loss of interest because they can see in their mind's eye where their hard work would take them in short (1-3 years); medium (3 -10 years) and long term (more than 10 years). As this tool is expected that the training providers would make arrangements for regular well planned motivational lectures as part of a coordinated strategy interspersed throughout the training period as suggested in the weekly lesson plans in this document. (ii) Success Stories Another effective way of motivating the trainees is by means of Success Stories. Its inclusion in the weekly lesson plan at regular intervals has been recommended till the end of the training. A success story may be disseminated orally, through a presentation or by means of a video/documentary of someone that has risen to fortune, acclaim, or brilliant achievement. A success story shows how a person achieved his goal through hard work, dedication, and devotion. An inspiring success story contains compelling and significant facts articulated clearly and easily comprehendible words. Moreover, it is helpful if it is assumed that the reader/listener knows nothing of what is being revealed. The optimum impact is created when the story is revealed in the form of:- • Directly in person (At least 2-3 cases must be arranged by the training institute) • Through an audio/ videotaped message (2-3 high-quality videos must be arranged by the training institute). It is expected that the training provider would collect relevant high-quality success stories for inclusion in the training as suggested in the weekly lesson plan given in this document. The suggestive structure and sequence of a sample success story and its various shapes can be seen in Annexure III. (iii) Case Studies Where a situation allows, case studies can also be presented to the trainees to widen their understanding of the real-life specific problem/situation and to explore the solutions. In simple terms, the case study method of teaching uses a real-life case example/a typical case to demonstrate a phenomenon in action and explain theoretical as well as practical aspects of the knowledge related to the same. It is an effective way to help the trainees comprehend in depth both the theoretical and practical aspects of the complex phenomenon in depth with ease. Case teaching can also stimulate the trainees to participate in discussions and thereby boost their confidence. It also makes the classroom atmosphere interesting thus maintaining the trainee interest in training till the end of the course. Depending on suitability to the trade, the weekly lesson plan in this document may suggest case studies be presented to the trainees. The trainer may adopt a PowerPoint presentation or video format for such case studies whichever is deemed suitable but only those cases must be selected that are relevant and of a learning value. The Trainees should be required and supervised to carefully analyze the cases. For the purpose, they must be encouraged to inquire and collect specific information/data, actively participate in the discussions, and intended solutions to the problem/situation. Case studies can be implemented in the following ways: - i. A good quality trade-specific documentary ( At least 2-3 documentaries must be arranged by the training institute) ii. Health &Safety case studies (2 cases regarding safety and industrial accidents must be arranged by the training institute) iii. Field visits( At least one visit to a trade-specific major industry/ site must be arranged by the training institute) Learning Outcome of the Course Knowledge Proficiency Details • Knowledge of Information technology catering principles and Capabilities with particular -emphasis on the technical support of local area networks. • Knowledge of securing networks, systems, servers and operating Systems with troubleshooting. • Knowledge of the web attacks in modern day servers Skills Proficiency Details • Hands on experience in pen testing all network technologies regarding with local area network. • Perform various tests to detect and provide defense against vulnerabilities. • Practical scenarios to compromise web servers and web applications. • Ability to detect attack vectors, identify attack type andprovide continuity of operations. • Ability to recover data from damaged disks to ensuredata consistency. • Capable of malware analysis to detect basic working of malwares. • Pen testing mobile devices and applications.

No Key Information Detail/Description 1. Self & Family background Danyal Saleem, who lives in Mirpur (AJK), is an example of how hard work and perseverance can reap rich rewards when bidding for projects online. The graphic designer works exclusively on an online freelancing platform and has earned, on average, US$20,000 per month for the past several months. But this isn’t a story of overnight success – Danyal has hadto work hard to differentiate himself and stay true to hisgoal. It was a full year later, in May 2017, when Danyal finally decided to jump in. He signed up for one of the numerous sites that connect designers or coders with people or companies that have small projects, like designing a logo or building a website. He had already started a small business to help pay for his college education, so he was nervous and apprehensive about the decision. “I gave myself two or three months at most. If I didn’t succeed, then I would go back to running the business as it was showing potential,” he says. If at first, you don’t succeed, try try again 2. How he came on board NAVTTC Training/ or got trained through any other source Certification in graphic designing from STEPS(NAVTTC partner institute) 3. Post-training activities Danyal’s area of expertise is in graphic design. In his first month using Fiverr, he pitched mostly for projects centered around logo designing. But it wasn’t so simple. In the first few weeks, he didn’t hear back from even a single client, despite pitching for dozens of projects. “I needed to understand what worked, so I read blogs,participated in forums, and analyzed profiles of successful freelancers. It was an uphill struggle, but I didn’t want to give up,” he explains. Danyal says he understands why clients would be apprehensive giving projects to untested freelancers. They have hundreds of options to choose from, he explains, and to give a project to someone with no experience requires a strong leap of faith. A slow stream of projects started to come Danyal’s way. Within a few months, he was landing an average of a hundred projects every month, with a large number of repeat clients. He also expanded the range of his professional services, branching out from logo design to business cards, banners, Facebook cover pages, letterheads, and stationery. But he’s had to face his fair share of challenges too. The shoddy state of internet infrastructure in his city, Mirpur, threatened to derail his freelancing career. “Sometimes I haven’t had connectivity for two days straight,” he explains. “That’s unthinkable for someone who makes his livelihood on the internet.” 4. Message to others (under training) Take the training opportunity seriously Impose self-discipline and ensure regularity Make Hard work pays in the end so be always ready for the same. Note: Success story is a source of motivation for the trainees and can be presented in severalways/forms in a NAVTTC skill development course as under: - 1. To call a passed out successful trainee of the institute. He will narrate his success story to the trainees in his own words and meet trainees as well. 2. To see and listen to a recorded video/clip (5 to 7 minutes) showing a successful traineeAudio-video recording that has to cover the above-mentioned points. 3. The teacher displays the picture of a successful trainee (name, trade, institute, organization, job, earning, etc) and narrates his/her story in the teacher’s own motivational words.

Marketing Models - AIDA | ToFu - MoFu - BoFu (Class # 4)

 Marketing Models: The Blueprint for Business Growth

Marketing isn’t just about promotions—it's a structured science influencing customer behavior and driving business growth. Businesses can efficiently attract, engage, and convert their target audience by leveraging proven marketing models. This guide explores the most effective marketing models, key terminologies, and optimization techniques to elevate your strategy.

Essential Marketing Models for Success

1. AIDA Model: The Customer Journey Blueprint

The AIDA model (Awareness, Interest, Desire, Action) maps out the consumer’s journey from discovery to conversion.

  • Awareness: Grabbing attention via ads, SEO, and social media campaigns.
  • Interest: Engaging potential customers with valuable content, problem-solving insights, and product features.
  • Desire: Creating a connection by showcasing benefits, testimonials, and emotional appeal.
  • Action: Driving conversions through strong CTAs, discounts, and limited-time offers.

2. TOFU, MOFU, BOFU: The Sales Funnel Approach

A customer’s journey through your marketing funnel can be divided into three crucial stages:

  • TOFU (Top of Funnel): Brand awareness efforts, including social media, blogs, and video content.
  • MOFU (Middle of Funnel): Nurturing leads with case studies, webinars, and retargeting ads.
  • BOFU (Bottom of Funnel): Persuading prospects to convert with testimonials, free trials, and one-on-one consultations.

3. Push & Pull Marketing Strategies

  • Push Marketing: Actively placing your brand in front of customers using Facebook, Instagram, and influencer promotions.
  • Pull Marketing: Attracting customers through inbound tactics like SEO, Google Ads, and content marketing.

Key Marketing Metrics & Terminology

To refine your strategy, it’s crucial to track and measure performance:

  • CPM (Cost Per Mile): The cost of 1,000 ad impressions.

    • Formula: CPM = (Total Ad Spend ÷ Total Impressions) × 1,000
  • Reach: The number of unique accounts that saw an ad.

    • Helps measure brand exposure and audience penetration.
  • Impressions: The number of times an ad appeared on a user’s screen.

    • Indicates ad visibility and placement effectiveness.
  • CTR (Click-Through Rate): The percentage of users who clicked your ad after seeing it.

    • Formula: CTR = (Total Clicks ÷ Total Impressions) × 100
    • Higher CTR indicates effective targeting and compelling ad creatives.
  • CPC (Cost Per Click): The cost per ad click on platforms like Google Ads and LinkedIn.

    • Formula: CPC = Total Ad Spend ÷ Total Clicks
    • Lower CPC means more efficient spending.
  • CPI (Cost Per Install): The price of acquiring an app install via Google Play, Apple Ads, or third-party platforms.

    • Formula: CPI = Total Ad Spend ÷ Total Installs
  • Through Play: The number of times an ad video is played for at least 5–10% of its duration.

    • Measures video engagement and audience retention.
  • Amount Spent: The total budget utilized for an ad campaign.

    • Helps track expenses and ROI.
  • Conversion Rate: The percentage of visitors who complete a desired action (purchase, sign-up, etc.).

    • Formula: Conversion Rate = (Total Conversions ÷ Total Visitors) × 100
  • ROAS (Return on Ad Spend): Measures revenue generated per dollar spent on ads.

    • Formula: ROAS = Total Revenue ÷ Total Ad Spend
    • A ROAS above 1 indicates a profitable campaign.
  • Bounce Rate: The percentage of users who leave a landing page without interacting.

    • Formula: Bounce Rate = (Single Page Visits ÷ Total Visits) × 100
    • A high bounce rate may indicate poor landing page experience.
  • Engagement Rate: Measures how actively users interact with content.

    • Formula: Engagement Rate = (Total Interactions ÷ Total Reach) × 100
    • Includes likes, shares, comments, and saves.
  • Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): The cost of acquiring a new customer.

    • Formula: CAC = Total Marketing & Sales Cost ÷ Number of New Customers Acquired
    • Lower CAC indicates cost-efficient customer acquisition.

Optimizing Your Marketing Strategy

  1. Identifying the Right Audience: Segment customers based on demographics, interests, and behaviors.
  2. Choosing the Best Platform: Utilize Google Ads, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and ad networks strategically.
  3. Leveraging Data-Driven Insights: Adjust marketing campaigns based on CTR, CPC, and conversion rates.
  4. Enhancing Transparency: Use Google Ads reports and analytics tools to optimize ad spend.
  5. Collaboration & Planning: Utilize Google Sheets to track ad performance and share insights with teams and clients.


Sales vs. Marketing: The Connection

Marketing generates leads, while sales close the deal. A successful business aligns marketing models with sales strategies to create a seamless conversion pipeline, maximizing ROI and long-term growth.

Final Takeaway: Elevate Your Marketing Game

By implementing marketing models like AIDA and TOFU-MOFU-BOFU, businesses can structure their strategies for better engagement and higher conversions. Combine push-and-pull marketing techniques, track key metrics, and refine your campaigns to stay ahead in a competitive market.
