Here are the stages you might go through in your path to become a professional digital marketer.
The first thing you’ll want to do is to create your own website or blog.
Creating your own website gives you your own testing grounds. It lets you get practical experience with marketing strategies without worrying about hurting someone else’s site.
Just choose a niche that you’re interested in and create a site using WordPress. The important part is that you invest a bit of money into your own website because you’re less likely to give up without giving it a fair shot.
Next, focus on one area of digital marketing.
What online marketing strategies are available and which one should you choose? You’ll learn more in the video.
The next thing you need to do is spend some time learning about the area of internet marketing you want to pursue.
The best place to start is by reading or watching a beginner’s guide on the topic from a reputable person or company. Beginner’s guides will help you get a general overview of the marketing method and also act as a “hub” for subtopics to research after.
The next step is to actually execute on the things you learn.
Consuming too much content will lead to analysis paralysis, where you end up over-analyzing things and getting nothing done.
What should you do instead? Watch the video to learn more.
Finally, get acquainted with some free digital marketing tools.
If you’re just starting out, it’s tough to pay for premium marketing tools. But there are some free ones that you should get acquainted with.
You’ll learn what these tools are in the video.
The next stage is to get a job or internship at a digital marketing agency.
Working at an agency is a great way to learn digital marketing fast because you’ll have the opportunity to work with people who are ahead of you in your career. It’s also a place you can find mentors and you’ll also get a ton of hands-on experience working on various types of client sites.
Next, consider freelancing. Freelancing is a great way to get more hands-on experience while increasing your income.
Why is freelancing great? You’ll find out in the video.
After you’ve built up a portfolio and somewhat of a positive reputation in your industry, you can consider going full-time into consulting.
The keyword here is “consider.” There’s nothing wrong with staying in your job, working your way up, and retiring. Not everyone is meant to be a consultant and to be frank, not everyone should be.
So, no matter where you are in your career, it’s not too late to start in digital marketing. And just like any other career, it takes time to learn and grow.

Another long-term path is to just use your digital marketing skills to build your own business(es) as an entrepreneur. That could mean selling your own courses, building a bunch of affiliate sites, or something else. Often, these will result in more freedom in your lifestyle than having an agency, being a consultant, or working a marketing job. And the income can potentially be higher, too (unlimited), if you're good.

Hey there! This is one of the best channels I accidentally jumped to. What makes it great is that after seeing it I see a bigger picture of what digital marketing is and requires and that is SO IMPORTANT for a complete beginner who has been assigned for a zillion courses and got lost in them! Now it is clear what to do first and how to organize the courses sequence! Keep up with this logic-based kind of tutoring!
Thank you!
The pace you're going is so on point even for someone whose english is not my first language! keep it up! subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
I love how I can already consult my audience as an expert even though I’m still relatively new. I just can’t wait to be able to do it more. 💪 Enjoyed hearing your tips, thanks!

@@nogravity2520 I spent about 6 months learning all about SEO and content marketing. After I felt comfortable and had some experience from starting my own blog I just appllied to several entry jobs. Got a call back from one of them and the rest is history.

I love your videos! Thanks for the useful tips. Do you believe there is hope for people who are not recent grads and who have no real life digital marketing experience to make a living in the digital marketing space? How might the path look for someone who is older?
Of course :) Not sure why age would matter. The same path we described in the video can apply.

Thank you
You're welcome
very informative video
Thanks!
hi sam oh, i don't know to thank you for your information, motivation, and suggestions. i already started thinking to quit the idea of starting digital marketing, i really appreciate your efforts.
Happy to hear that! Good luck then and may your efforts pay out!

Very interesting

Creating your own project is one of the best ways to break into the space. I started learning digital marketing years ago out of necessity of a project for work; from there, my interest was piqued and I built a series of other projects. Follow your curiosity.
Thank you for sharing!
- SQ
You are right
👌
Really the points are fact based.
Not sure what you're saying, could you clarify?
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom i just said all points are useful.
You spoke about making your own website but what should we publish on that website to apply SEO ?
Please help .
It gets very confusing
Consultants make the big bucks. It is fun to double the revenue of a business using digital marketing.

Supper Informative & Outstanding Tips

Upwork is highly competitive for freelancers. Most of the clients have very small budgets and actually hire freelancers from outside the United States for low wages. Think India, Pakistan etc.
It's just a place for you to start, pick up a few clients and improve your digital marketing skills. You'll eventually "grow" out of it.

Good

😍😍😍

Sam, I find it challenging sometimes to come to a solid conclusion with Ahref's KD matrics & Organic search volume matrics for any keywords and competitor sites. Please enlighten me on how to overcome it?

I am interested on learning SEO, do you offer a course that goes from beginner to advanced?
We're preparing to launch an SEO course on CZcams soon. In the meantime, you can check out our Blogging for Business course: czcams.com/play/PLvJ_dXFSpd2tbI3mYhAO8oZ2NYMrJuNPq.html

How do I create a website as a beginner digital marketer
Hi I’m a completely new to this. Can someone explain to me what would be the purpose of initially setting up the website? Thanks 🙏
Get experience marketing :)
- SQ
I would love to build a website. But if I make a personal website for an entry-level digital marketing job, what should I include on it, as my experience is nonexistent.
Create a website on something you already love or am doing in your spare time.

What is the future of digital marketing?
As many of the tech giants are getting strict on privacy policy and without data how we will do digital marketing?
Wtf r u talking about
@@Sora_Nai bro search for iOS 14 privacy policy for facebook
Was fresh graduated and went into an in-house company, I always stay in in-house now. Even thought I really want to work in agency , they are not interested at me sadly. I did everything except working in agency.
Why are they not interested in you?
- SQ
@@AhrefsCom They prefer to hire fresh graduate because in stereotype, they are more willing to work overtime in lower salary in HK. That doesn't bother me much now because I've started my own project in freelancing beside of my full time job. But I agree that if I started my career by working in agency, that could be easier to develop practical skills.
As an SEO specialist are you the person actually creating the content or directing the content creation?
It really depends on the role you've been given, but most SEO specialists would likely not be the person creating the content.
- SQ
Anyone knows where to apply online? I'm on my way in getting a DM Specialist Course. Hopefully it gets accredited lol
Can Creation and pulling in traffic to CZcams channel considered as experience in this field?
Depends on your employer, but sure, why not?
- SQ
we need website compulsory to do digital marketing
Hey I’m about to graduate with a associates degree in software engineering. Do you think this would be an appropriate degree to get into marketing ? 19 years old and about to get my first internship
Why not? :)
- SQ
Hi, My friends have started their own businesses and it is mostly related to food/restaurant services. So I just wanted to know if there's a way to help them and help grow their businesses through Digital Marketing.
Sure, why wouldn't digital marketing help?
- SQ
What if I don’t have experience before freelancing for ppc?
Wow, your channel name is inspired by html.
It's the name of our company. ahrefs.com/
- SQ
is it possible to start working in digital marketing without higher education? (only courses)
Sure!
-Helen
I have a doubt
Eventhough i have a website what service can i provide 🧐
Depends on what your website is about.
- SQ
i guess opening seo agency is very saturated now
I'm still not really clear how to start
Hii
stuck in analysis paralysis for now lol
Update: After watching this video I feel a little less stuck ;____;
