Hi pals, What is the best way to get into digital marketing without a degree and without spending a fortune on online courses?
Hey there! The best way to break into digital marketing without a degree or spending a lot on courses is to start with free resources and hands-on practice. Begin by exploring free online resources like Google’s Digital Garage, HubSpot Academy, and the wealth of tutorials on YouTube. Start a blog or a social media account to experiment with SEO, content creation, and analytics. Join online communities and forums to network and learn from professionals. Volunteer to help small businesses or non-profits with their digital marketing to gain practical experience. This approach will help you build a portfolio and demonstrate your skills to potential employers.
Prioritize learning the fundamentals of digital marketing. You will then receive a ton of questions on a wide range of topics, the easiest approach to answer which is to use YouTube videos and ChatGPT. For instance, after studying Facebook advertisements, you’ll come across Facebook Pixel in certain lessons. To gain a thorough understanding of Pixel, you must acquire knowledge of it. It would be better if you could put what you’ve learned into practice.) After a few days—at most, a few weeks—you should launch your own personal project or brand and build it on the knowledge you’ve gained.
That’s what I did in 2016, before ChatGPT existed.
