How to Start Digital Marketing 2023

I post a new article about learning digital marketing and starting a digital marketing career isn’t that tough there are just five tips you need to follow to begin your career as a digital marketer.

Digital Marketing #Tips1

Understand digital marketing.. digital marketing in itself means nothing this is actually an umbrella term under which there are several strategies like..

SEO
SEM
Social media marketing
Email marketing,
Content marketing
Influencer marketing

That actually means something and that actually involves a lot of work.

Now as a digital marketer who is just starting out, you do not need to master all of these types of digital marketing i would recommend you to start with one and experiment with it, practice it and get better at it and then, move on to the second type the obvious question would be where to start.

Digital Marketing #Tips2

Digital Marketing tips for you is to start from content. see digital marketing is all about content whether it be article or video whether it be text or graphics so if you want to start as a digital marketer you need to get good at creating content for text content

You can start writing a blog have a WordPress blog where you post content in your niche for videos you can start making videos on youtube and for graphics, you can post graphics on Instagram, Pinterest, or even as youtube thumbnails and you can use this tool called canva for creating these graphics or learn Photoshop.

The second obvious question would be mahfuj how do we learn these skills should we go for a course or is there some video series or are there some blogs that can help us out there are a lot of free online resources out there that can teach you.

Digital Marketing everything about digital marketing honestly, all those courses which say that we’ll teach you something unique and something like that I really do not believe in the effectiveness of those courses, in the end, it’s always the same thing presented to you in a different manner.

So I would always suggest you go with the free online resources there are lots of articles and videos out there are a lot of people digital marketers who make articles and videos online you can follow them.

Neil Patel.
Sunny Lenarduzzi.
Brian Dean.

And more all these people make article and videos regularly and there are blogs like..

Several digital marketing blogs that you can follow and learn from even then if you need the confidence of having done a course I would say go and pick up a course on something like udemy because their courses are cheaper and they really cover a lot of stuff in a very structured manner.

if you are planning to buy a course from a particular personality on the internet then make sure you have used their free resources and if they are effective for you if they have been. effective for you in learning things and in growing your digital marketing career only then consider the paid choices be very wary of picking up paid courses because most of them are useless.

Marketing Tips.4

I have for you is to experiment and practice there is only so much theory in digital marketing that you can know and learn and you will learn it in a day or two or maximum a week after that it’s all about experimentation and practice and what you learn through it so you can not really just learn.

Digital marketing without doing digital marketing how do we start digital marketing I would say go and start your own website or blog and start writing content there. start creating content there. start promoting it there. once you start that you will learn the nuances of how a website is promoted and how digital marketing happens and you can slowly go on with different strategies or you can even start an online business.

That is even better because I feel like when it comes to digital marketing blogging still gives you a limited amount of knowledge but when you go and promote a business or start a business and promote it yourself online it teaches you a lot either start a blog
or start an online business just for the sake of learning digital marketing if you do not want to do any of these two i would say go on to websites like

As I already suggested start with content writing gigs and slowly start learning on the side and try to find gigs that would help you gain experience in those sorts of things,
keep in mind the point here is not to earn money the point here is to learn. the point here is to practice if I was thinking of earning money when I started out as a digital marketer.

I would have never learned what I have learned so far I really got the chance to work on different businesses and learn through it because I was ready to work for little to no money so a lot of people see digital marketing as this get rich quick scheme but it is really not it is really a profession that takes a lot of effort lot of practice and a lot of knowledge so you have to gain that knowledge before you start expecting chunks of money coming in.

Tips Number 5: Online Jobs for Students

To be patient you need to be patient and you need to be consistent I remember when I started out as a digital marketer I would read for two hours every day I would read digital marketing content for 2 hours every day without missing a day and that helped me immensely honestly I feel like this habit of reading and updating your knowledge for at least 2 hours a day should never be left.

I have been inconsistent with it now and I really feel something lacking. so I am working very hard to spend two hours a day learning my craft even if I know those things, I would listen to those videos and those courses and read those blogs again or even sometimes read my own blogs because you really need to be a constant learner if you want to be a digital marketer and I do have an article about the skills required in a digital marketer or the skills that make a good digital marketer.

How to get into digital marketing?

Do check out that article as well I’ll link it here or and yes these are my five tips to start your digital marketing career you have to focus on learning first you have to focus on experimentation first and grab the opportunities that allow you to do that you can even go and pitch to a small business or company and say, I’ll work for you for free but just let me work with you and let me work on this and there are trust me there are so.. many companies that would just jump at.

You would want to hire you Because when it comes to small businesses the budgets of digital marketing are very low and they are looking for interns and people who could work at less amount of money or maybe, even free in the beginning. and do not think that you’re wasting your time by working for anybody for free it will really teach you a lot it’s just like you are going to college again but without paying those heavy chunks of fees and without those study loans.
