About Do It Yourself Digital

Ben in a DIYD Tshirt

Hello, I’m Ben

I’m a digital communications consultant based in Madrid. I’ve worked in communications for more than 25 years, across both the public and private sectors. These days I advise small businesses on how to make digital marketing work for them.

Why this project exists

Over the years, I’ve met a lot of small business owners who want the same thing. They want more people to find them online, and they want to grow. They know digital marketing can help. What they can’t do is pay agency or consultancy fees to get there.

Many of them decide to have a go themselves. That takes courage, and it deserves proper support. Which is where Do It Yourself Digital comes in.

DIYD is here to give you practical advice and guidance on the tools, processes and ideas behind good digital marketing. The aim is simple: to help you build understanding and confidence, so you can do solid, effective work with very little cost and as little of your time as possible.

You don’t need to become an expert. You just need to know enough to make good decisions and get on with it.

What you’ll find here

  • Clear explanations of how the online world actually works
  • Step-by-step guidance on the tools that matter (many of them free)
  • Practical ways of working that fit around running a business
  • and more
