I wanted to say that you did great! This I what I want to do. To have a simple job and build a portfolio. However, it’s difficult for me to even find a simple (minimum wage) job because I need to support my family, so I really need a bigger job (above average wage). I also need to have two works as of the moment and it’s very difficult for me to find time to improve my portfolio. Though, making a youtube a channel is a good portfolio! Thank you for sharing this experience and I’ll take this as a tip to begin with mine now. God bless! May more digital contents creator videos to come ❤
I hope this video truly helps anyone out there because 3 years ago, I was desperately looking for a video like this. "Figuring it out" is hard AF especially when you don't always have the means to resources. I seriously thought about bootcamps, going back to school or paying for a coach, but the reality was that I couldn't justify paying x amount. Although nothing wrong with it at all, it just was not for me. If you have any questions, leave them here and I will try to answer them as best as possible!
So I have a degree in digital media entertainment design I have been feeling like do I want to go to school all that but how do I find a job as a digital content producer
My dear, please ... don't let you treat like crap ... don't sell yourself so cheap ... you don't have to offer anything for free only to proof yourself ...... Best luck for your future!!!
Very helpful. Thank you. As someone that was in the industry before it became popular, pivoted and came back this was extremely useful to get a solid gameplan down & strategize the next big role. A million thank yous!
I really miss my craft & people started asking why more of my work wasn’t available online. I’m ready to grow with what I’m capable of & hopefully add value to the community.
Great story and insights of how you got to where you are now. Congrats on landing your dream job :) I'm kind of in a similar situation where I graduated from a field I don't wanna work in and now I'm trying to get into digital marketing. It will surely take some time but hopefully, it will work out in the end
Thank you for the kind words! As long as your create content, are self aware to make improvements and don't give up, you'll figure it out! I still believe we're in the early stages of the creator economy/field. You certainly do not need a degree, but show that you will work HARD and can provide results. You got this!!
OMG I lve this video, it is exactly what I'm going through, so congrats, you are very aswesome. I'm also working as a producer and kinda want to make something stable.
Awww thank you so much girl!! Glad you were able to relate 💕 I’m sure as you figure things out, it will work out! Everything takes time and no matter what, you just gotta keep going!
I'm from south Africa and I how the internet is transforming the world and making information easily accessible. I want to oneday have a RUclips channel and be able to tell stories using video. I have to much content to share just that I need that skill.... based on this video I want to research videography and see how far I can get tx for the tip and will be checking out more of your content 👌🏾
Hey from Canada! Thank you so much for watching and leaving this kind comment. I'm glad this video helped you out! I know you didn't ask for advice, but one thing I'd love to express is to not give up, if you love it, keep working on your skills, honing your skills and making better content! I wish you all the best on your journey :)
Thanks for sharing, I even completed a digital marketing college diploma and still can't get a job, I will use some of your tips to help. Thank you so much
@@anna.tnguyen I'm really wanting to go into marketing like you. I'm just not sure where to start. If you're open to it, I'd love to ask you some questions about the marketing field and how to get started :))
Hi Anna, I am a very beginner about content creator. I would like to learn and make it as a future job but I am frustrated now because there are tons of information in the internet that couldnt make me understand and guide me the right way. I truly appriciate if you can help me to figure it out. Thank you so much!
My main advice is to just START. Make content on what YOU want to and then go from there. Because I was also in the same situation flooded with info, but once I started it narrowed down what to search for and improve. I may make a shorts video to go into this further!
Thank you for watching!! and yes i can! In the beginning of every month I'm given about 20 - 30 deliverables (projects) consisting of youtube videos, social media posts and some admin marketing stuff. Then I would go about working on priority projects, like researching and scripting out the youtube videos, scheduling with talent to get the videos filmed and having the scripts approved by managers. I would also go out and capture content to edit for our socials. Near mid month I would bring my own ideas to the table and execute on those as well. Form time to time I would update google and fb ads copy and content and also work on promotions as well. I hope I answered your answer well!! Let me know if you have any more! And are you currently looking to switch to this field?
@@anna.tnguyen This was sooo helpful thank you so much! I am currently looking for positions at ad agencies and was interested in content producer and content strategist positions. I was doing research on what position I felt would be the best fit for me. I am a freelance content creator but I wanted to experience working for a company. If you have any more tips I would love to learn. It's been tough since I don't have any previous agency experience.
Congrats! I have an interview this upcoming week as a digital content coordinator! Any advice? I tend not to do well under pressure haha but once again, congrats!
Thank you! I really appreciate it :) and that’s amazing!! My advice would be talk with passion and energy. When they ask you questions, try your best to demonstrate your answers with previous experience (facts to back you up). Best of luck and fingers crossed you get the job!!
Hey! I hope this isn't too late. I'll give you a description of a typical week : Usually, we try to get 1 long-form youtube video done in one to 2 weeks(ideally 1 week), 3 IG /FB posts a week and some other stories and misc. social media stuff. So in a week, I would need to research and script for long-form content, then I would need to send the script to the right department for approval. Once it's approved I need to coordinate with my co-workers to schedule a time to film the video. While all this is happening I am either taking photos to edit them for social media. And then I would spend time editing the videos as well. The job itself I loved, but management was extremely poor and so I ended up leaving the company and freelancing and working on my own youtube channel. When it comes to creativity, a job can sometimes take the fun away from it because now you have a lot of expectations, deadlines and maybe not as much freedom in creative control. So for this job to be really fun, you truly need a good work culture and management. I hope this helps!
Thank you for sharing your journey so far 🙏 We can all see your passion and drive and of course so did your current employer 👌 You’ll do amazing things, I have no doubt. Keep the family and work balance right though and congratulations 🎉 🚀😇
Thank you so much! I’m excited for wha true future holds. Balancing a FT job, YT & personal life has been kind of hard, but I’m figuring it out. Thank you for the kind words 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
I am fresher in digital marketing and certified by Google digital marketing garage and hp certified Facebook marketing... How can i start my journey my career
