It lets you get practical experience with marketing strategies without worrying about hurting someone else\u2019s site.<\/p>\n<p>Just choose a niche that you\u2019re 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\u2019re less likely to give up without giving it a fair shot. <\/p>\n<p>Next, focus on one area of digital marketing. <\/p>\n<p>What online marketing strategies are available and which one should you choose? You\u2019ll learn more in the video. <\/p>\n<p>The next thing you need to do is spend some time learning about the area of internet marketing you want to pursue. <\/p>\n<p>The best place to start is by reading or watching a beginner\u2019s guide on the topic from a reputable person or company. Beginner\u2019s guides will help you get a general overview of the marketing method and also act as a \u201chub\u201d for subtopics to research after. <\/p>\n<p>The next step is to actually execute on the things you learn. <\/p>\n<p>Consuming too much content will lead to analysis paralysis, where you end up over-analyzing things and getting nothing done. <\/p>\n<p>What should you do instead? Watch the video to learn more. <\/p>\n<p>Finally, get acquainted with some free digital marketing tools.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re just starting out, it\u2019s tough to pay for premium marketing tools. But there are some free ones that you should get acquainted with.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll learn what these tools are in the video. <\/p>\n<p>The next stage is to get a job or internship at a digital marketing agency. <\/p>\n<p>Working at an agency is a great way to learn digital marketing fast because you\u2019ll have the opportunity to work with people who are ahead of you in your career. It\u2019s also a place you can find mentors and you\u2019ll also get a ton of hands-on experience working on various types of client sites. <\/p>\n<p>Next, consider freelancing. Freelancing is a great way to get more hands-on experience while increasing your income. <\/p>\n<p>Why is freelancing great? You\u2019ll find out in the video. <\/p>\n<p>After you\u2019ve built up a portfolio and somewhat of a positive reputation in your industry, you can consider going full-time into consulting.<\/p>\n<p>The keyword here is \u201cconsider.\u201d There\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n<p>So, no matter where you are in your career, it\u2019s not too late to start in digital marketing. And just like any other career, it takes time to learn and grow. <\/p>\n<p>Timestamps:<\/p>\n<p>0:58 Create your own website or blog<br \/>\n2:53 Learn about the area you want to pursue<br \/>\n3:36 Execute on the things you learn<br \/>\n4:14 Study up some free digital marketing tools<br \/>\n5:45 Get a job or internship at a digital marketing agency<br \/>\n6:55 Consider freelancing<\/p>\n<p>#startacareerindigitalmarketing #growyourcareerindigitalmarketing #digitalmarketing<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to subscribe for more actionable marketing and SEO tutorials.<br \/>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<\/p>\n<p>STAY TUNED:<br \/>\nAhrefs \u25ba https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/<br \/>\nYouTube \u25ba https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/AhrefsCom?sub_confirmation=1<br \/>\nFacebook \u25bahttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Ahrefs<br \/>\nTwitter \u25bahttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ahrefs<\/p>\n<div class=\"likes-after-content likes-entity-placement\" id=\"likes-1574855184\"><div id=\"likes-649070279\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/iceberg\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"IE Brunson Precise\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Brunson-Precise-728x120-1.png\" alt=\"IE Brunson Precise\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Brunson-Precise-728x120-1.png 728w, https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IE-Brunson-Precise-728x120-1-300x49.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 728px) 100vw, 728px\" width=\"728\" height=\"120\"  style=\"display: inline-block;\" \/><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In today\u2019s video, you\u2019ll learn how to start a career in digital marketing and grow both your knowledge and salary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":606603,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[24],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-606602","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-seo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606602","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=606602"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/606602\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/606603"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=606602"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=606602"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/likesinternetmarketing.com\/v\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=606602"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
