If you’re already a content creator and you’re trying to get into tech, the easiest point of entry is applying for social media marketing roles.
You can apply as a content marketing associate too if you write articles.
I share free courses, tools and general advice on starting out as a marketer.
THE COURSES
Start with the Content Marketing Certification by Hubspot: academy.hubspot.com/courses/c...
Learn SEO for free: academy.hubspot.com/courses/s...
CXL also has foundational marketing courses here: cxl.com/institute/
Here are a few of my favorite blog sites: premiumcontentshop.com/ t.co/I9eDIS2opm

THE TOOLS
Publish your articles on Medium/Wordpress: medium.com/
Start your blog/ email newsletter with Substack: substack.com/sign-in
Build your portfolio with Mainstack: mainstack.me
BONUS:
Finally, once you assemble your portfolio and start sharing online, start offering your services as a freelancer.
A good way to start is by offering your services to clients in your immediate circle.
Freelancing a practical way to achieve financial stability, refine your skills, and enhance your profile and resume.
You can also follow other freelancers and learn from them. I’ve included the link to a freelance marketer I know.

This lady is dishing out real value ya all don't know. If you follow what she said you're going to get it right I tell you. I started out with figuring out what works for me.. I like content creation but Art works out better so I dived into graphic design using Canva to learn my basics and now am a professional graphic designer and a video creator. ...Omo I watched courses upon courses and did away with movies and up till now am still doing personal development by watching more course....what this lady is telling you here nobody or video content will tell you this .....lastly.. I will add that you get a mentor, someone who does the skill you're interested in doing. This helped me greatly.... So to you for sharing this amazing content... I found a content creator who is at least sincere and won't beat about the bush.... You've gained a subscriber.
Yes to finding a mentor. In fact, I was going to do a video on the best approach to getting someone to be your mentor. Thank you for sharing.
Wow can you be my mentor for graphic designing?
I got a new laptop and I’m still trying to figure out skills to learn and make good use of my laptop. I started watching graphic designing videos but I haven’t been consistent in it.

I almost broke a leg running down here 😂😂. Thanks for these tips. It's time to put them to good use!😊
Happy to hear this! Please let me know if you have any questions.
I have a question. How does one prepare for tech interviews pls?
@@folasadedainiI have a question aunty folashade
Which do you think is better opening a new instagram page for my copy writing and content marketing
Or still using my personal page I have been having this contemplations because on my personal page I do sing, and I felt it will be too noisy for such😅
Your opinion will really count or I should rather just build on LinkedIn
Secondly ma, I concluded my copywriting cause few months ago and I can actually place a bet on myself😅
The thing is that finding a place to practice as someone with no experience is quite challenging (even tho I’m on fiverr)
In terms of practice I’m talking about building experience outside money, what advice do you have ma?
Also, I’m actually so glad and open to work under anyone 😊
Thank you, ma, for sharing.
Ain't giving up!
My FD!!! Thank you for thissss❤
This is very insightful. My greatest challenge is putting myself out there. I've taken courses and I have good experiences. Oya put yourself out there. Wozzai!😂
Check out my video on personal branding! There’s a template you can download to get started in the description.
@@folasadedaini I watched it yesterday and started right away. I just needed a confirmation. I got it here. Thank you 😊
This video came at the right time. I have been reflecting on getting a marketing course.
Thank you so much
I am in between jobs at the moment, I’m a registered nurse but currently learning Digital Marketing. I love how you sincerely share your experiences with us❤️
How has it been for you...I'm about doing the same as a registered nurse 😊
@@GiantDeborah it really stretched me! 😂I think it has to do with the agency or institute that you intend to learn from. I informed them about my profession and had to create a learning calendar to fit my schedule.
@@TalkWithRuth Wow that's cool
@@GiantDeborah Thank you 😊

Hi Folashade, I really enjoyed your videos,I am actually not in your niche,but trust me your words stick. Welldone and regards to Baby💗
I'm here, thanks so much for dishing out quality content.
I'll soon be back for my testimony.
Regards to small madam ❤
Aunty folashade, this content meant a lot, I watch content like this online but I jumped on yours knowing it was coming from you
This has helped me cause I’m a copy writer and I also starting a course on content marketing felt more like I’m in your space (also for the fact I’m a medical student)
Thank you 😊
Awww. Reading this warmed my heart.
Excellent, helpful video. A must-watch! Thank you. Can you also do a video or mini-course on how to start and grow your personal brand on Twitter, as you did? And also, you cute little angel is so precious.
Well-done Dear Sis. Great work here.
Thank you!
Please oh, do the portfolio video. 😊 Thank you very much Folasade
Oh okay then.
This video is very good. You were very forthright. Thanks for sharing it. God bless you. God bless your baby too. Amen .
Thank you sir. Amen!

Thanks for sharing
Hi, new here! I've learnt a lot already. Thank you 😊
Welcome Seun!!!!
Thanks for this ❤❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for listening.
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Thank you 🙏 so much for this, Folashade. I wish you and the family all the best ❤️
Could you by any chance share a CV template with us? For those of whose major in the University wasn’t a Tech-related major. The only thing we can apply for jobs with is a portfolio. If we could get a CV template or sample, I would be glad. Thanks 🥰
EDIT: Hubspot requires you to have a website 😭 WHY!? How can we go about bypassing this, please?
You can just use any website really
Thank you for sharing
Thanks for watching!
thanks ma'am
I'm new. Thank you for sharingggg
Welcome!!
Thank you so much Lady F, I enjoyed watching this and in fact started taking one of the courses.
I'm trying my hands on being a VA, website design et all but I can't just seem to find my feet. There's this overwhelming feeling of "I don't know so much; It's a saturated space; who will employ me" despite doing putting so much of my best..
Did you experience this? How did you get over it if you did?
It’s a perfectly normal feeling. It’s part of the learning curve okay? Just keep going forward.
It may feel overwhelming now, but you’ll look back in one year and see how much you’ve learnt and how far you’ve come.
@@folasadedaini Hmm, Thank you so much for the reply Ma.
Hope to be able to come to look at this time one year from now and see how far I have come.
You didn't add the link to mainstack (for building portfolio) in your description, you said you would.
Hi I did! It is mainstack.me
That means relocating to Canada also gave you a higher chance in getting your job.
Not necessarily tbh. It wouldn’t have mattered if I was still in Nigeria. We had other colleagues around Africa. Not every US company will hire from Nigeria but you just need to find one.
Thank you for the great insight Ma.
I would like to ask Ma, does this steps apply to other departments in tech?
As i'm currently taking a course in Product Management.
Yes, absolutely. Just look for more specific content on the part you want to transition to.
@@folasadedaini thank you so much Ma
Thank you so much for this highly informative video! If i may ask do i need to have a website to be able to take the hubspot free course? I noticed i couldnt navigate the signing up process due to the website link it requires. I would really appreciate your help on this please.❤
Yeah. You can use your any website really. If you’re in school, you can use your Uni website or your company’s website.
Alright thank you so much for your swift response, you are far too kind!
How can one prepare his or her cv for remote jobs ?
Which remote job can i get using my smartphone for a start,please help a sister
Right, once they find out you are in Nigeria, they scroll you off. But quick question ma- during your interviews, were you asked what your location was or not? Did you mention your location at all?
Yeah. They asked. I mentioned I was in Nigeria looking to move to Canada but they didn’t mind.
@@folasadedaini noted! Thank you❤️
I have already subscribed 😅
Me too.
@@rutholusegun9328awww welcome guys!

Thank you so so much for this
How can one build a portfolio as a customer service representative?
First find out what the Job Description for remote customer success roles are and if they require a portfolio.
