Hi all!
So I REALLY want to get into Digital Marketing but there is a part of me that is scared I’m going to put in all this work for nothing.
Is it REALLY a good source of income?
Is it really as simple as it sounds?
I have set some of the things up needed so far but not everything.
Can anyone offer any advice or give me the low down on what to do or expect or how to proceed?
Thank you!

Hi, To really get advice and good responses, it would be helpful to know what are your interests and background in regards to digital marketing. Right now, it’s like saying you want to be a doctor but not say what you want to specialize in. We all have different backgrounds and experiences.

Everyone can use sales and marketing skills in any profession. If you’re not in the industry volunteer to do marketing for a local charity or small business to get some experience. Or seek your own produce or service (sell courses, an ebook, freelance service, etc)

Where are you at now and why do you want to do it? There are many factors that need to be considered

You’re wanting to get into the digital marketing field as a job or wanting to learn how to market your own product? Because digital marketing is anything but easy, especially in today’s world. You can’t just jump in without some kind of prior experience and education.

Is my manager forcing me out?

In our 121 last we had a good discussion on creating a personal development plan, with the idea being I’d write down clear goals & action points to get from my current level to the next, and I’d provide weekly evidence of it. I prepped the doc accordingly, but instead of wanting to discuss it, he said I have 4 weeks to “turn things around” - without giving any new info on what I’ve done wrong - esp given I wrote my goals based on this same feedback from last week??

CTR, contracts and department overhaul

our marketing dept is undergoing a complete overhaul. under old leadership, a $75k 12-mo contract was signed to a marketing group that handles our SEO, blog and everything Google Ads. All things I can and am in training to do. Current CTRs on G ads seem pitiful at no more than 0.75%. My meta ads coast around 4-6%. During this overhaul, would it be wise to not renew our contract, and negotiate for me to take over these roles and leverage a raise?
