Inbound marketing is a kind of digital marketing that is done with the aim of drawing more prospects or visitors. It becomes possible with helpful and strong content. Unlike outbound marketing, a business doesn’t need to fight for steering the traffic to their website. This aspect of marketing with the help of content is instrumental in building trust and credibility for a business. Inbound marketing is more about an approach rather than tactics.

It relies mostly on billboard advertisements, email lists, direct emails, and cold calling. It also includes concepts of earned and owned media. Owned media includes platforms that are owned by a business such as a website, Youtube channels, blogs,  and social media profiles. While earned media is newspaper and magazines which comes under traditional coverage or marketing. It is the coverage that a business earns due to its exceptional services, products and hard work that they put in.
