Looking for a new career in the new year that allows you to make your own schedule, work from anywhere, and make money using social media? Then you should consider becoming a digital marketer. Digital marketing is a frugal career where the amount of money you can make is endless!
Reasons Why You Should Become a Digital Marketer:
Becoming a digital marketer is relatively easy and a great way to make income. Think about how much time you spend scrolling through TikTok. Instead of just scrolling for free, use that creativity to make money. A digital marketing career is extremely flexible and has a plethora of benefits.
Accessibility
To become a digital marketer, you only need a computer and wifi. Seriously, that's it. This is a great career for people who want to create their own hours. Whether you have children, are in school, or want a change of pace, you can curate hours based on your needs. This is also a great career for digital nomads and travelers!
I am a professional basketball player who travels for 8-9 months out of the country annually. No matter the timezone or distance, I can meet with clients for strategy meetings, discuss account goals and tactics with my employees, and gain new clientele through content creation on TikTok, Instagram, Pinterest, and brand outreach. If your resolution is to travel more, but you don't know how you can work and travel simultaneously, look into being a digital marketer!
No Degree is Required
Long gone are the days when you need a two-year degree or certification to start a new career. No degree is required for a digital marketer, and if you use social media, you probably already have great skills that can make you a great digital marketer.
Just because no degree is required doesn't mean you should start a new careet without knowing what type of digital marketing you want to get into. With all the free and paid education tools out there, there is never a reason to stop learning. Education is available online through free and paid courses, certifications, and YouTube videos. Resources like Google Marketing Course, Coursera, Code Academy, and RSMS Coaching are all great places to start.
Curate Your Services
There are so many avenues to take when it comes to digital marketing. Not only is there social media, but you can also work with email marketing, blog creation, newsletters, web-based advertising, and any form of marketing as it relates to digital platforms. You can curate your services as a digital marketer based on what you enjoy creating.
Do you find that you LOVE making TikToks and Instagram reels? Then you should let your niche be social media videos. You can also choose which platforms to work within. The industry is versatile, and so are the different services you can create. Remember, the perfect formula for curating your services is: What you are good at, what you like to do, and where your clients have a need for.
