What's the best, easiest and fastest way to become a digital marketer?
Here are the exact steps that will save you the same mistakes I did:
The theory is not enough, make sure you practically implement everything you learn
Don't try to reinvent the wheel, learn from the pros and repeat the process
Digital marketing is a dynamic area with new changes happening daily, so keep an eye on popular blogs and resources.
Step by step. Don't study everything at once, it is better to take one topic, get some experience and then move on to the next topic.
What do I need to become a digital marketer?
Computer / Laptop
High-speed internet access
Physical books or Kindle for reading books
A small amount of money for practical experience
The most important thing is dedication and a desire to learn
What exactly is digital marketing?
The most common chapters covered in the course are:
Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
Email Marketing
Social media marketing
Marketing content
Performance
Mobile Marketing
Analytics
Apart from the aforementioned chapters, many other things fall under digital marketing. If you don't want to join an institute, one way to find out all about each topic is to download any institute's brochure from their website, which will cover all topics related to digital marketing.
Taking a course or going to college will give you structure, clear the basics, and get the basics right, but they won't teach you more complex things. To become a professional digital marketer, you need to gain experience in each of these areas.
What do I need to do as a digital marketer?
As the person in charge of a company's Digital Marketing or Digital Marketing Manager (by name) you will spearhead all of your company's digital marketing efforts.
