    Just purchased the membership and coming across this one , thanks for always being honest with this field .At least its not sugarcoated like other creators here and we know what to expect out of a job like this. With that , I hope the demand for these skills are not dying but the key is in adapting and succeeding among the sheer competition.

    I'm relatively new to this career as I've been working for less than a year at agencies but I can already relate to most of what you said. It's hard to stay motivated when you see the salary packages compared to the skills and experience mentioned in the JDs or when you're just starting out and your boss or clients expect you to perform a miracle while you get zero guidance or help, or when you watch hundreds of videos about ads, optimise an ad the best you can and it still doesn't perform.. it's so stressful. You feel like leaving but you don't as you're worried about not being hired in the future because you keep jumping from one company/agency to another

    basics like copywriting and the psychology of buying never change, i am a fan of old-school direct-response marketers these 100-year-old strategies are still relevant in the digital age. :)

    • @ourQuranicwisdom
      @ourQuranicwisdom 15 дней назад +1

      Strategies are and will always very relevant sir, but in my opinion execution and analysis keep changing. Behavior of human being will always change based on some constant traits. Marketing is in general understanding those traits with respect to needs and making an effort to offer what might satisfy those needs or wants.

    • @FreeAiChatbotForYourWebsite
      @FreeAiChatbotForYourWebsite 12 дней назад +1

      I completely agree! While the tools and platforms may evolve, the core principles of copywriting and understanding consumer psychology remain timeless. The strategies employed by direct-response marketers from decades ago still hold great value today. In fact, these foundational tactics often provide a solid framework for adapting to the digital world, helping us craft more effective messages and campaigns. It's great to see that you're appreciating the relevance of these classic approaches!

The thing is, that nowadays any digital profession is rapidly changing and we need to keep up with the changes. But sometimes I feel like I'm too tired to do it already. I can see that most of my working time is spent on "keeping up" rather than actual work.

      I am moving to my own business. It's been hectic. Moving to the renewable energy business so that I don't have to answer when it's not my fault. In the agency you have a boss, with a job at stake. With brands you have clients as a boss, who dictates your strategy although he shouldn't be, and your reputation is at stake. I still believe in Risk and reward theory, that's why moving to the energy sector especially renewable. I can market already, just have to figure out operations and finances.

  • @hemant-i3l
    @hemant-i3l 15 дней назад +10

    I have 8+ years of professional experience in digital marketing. One of the biggest challenge for me here in India is salaries offered to the digital marketers. A software developer or software tester with 8+ years of experience will be able to grab Rs. 20-25+ LPA easily, whereas for a digital marketer it is a rare scenario. If we check any job portal, mostly the salaries offered to digital marketers are very low. Sometimes it is really depressing that all your friends are moving so fast in their life financially and here, digital marketers biting the dust for peanuts.
    P.S: I love your in depth videos.

  • @bestseoworld
    @bestseoworld 14 дней назад +2

    I want to add a few more points here. You mentioned big companies, but there’s also a market where small clients are dealt with, and in their case, life becomes even more toxic. These clients often have nothing substantial as a product, yet they expect massive results.
    In digital marketing, growth is just another name for relentless pressure and nothing else. On top of that, you often have to deal with people who have zero understanding of marketing, and matching their unrealistic expectations feels almost impossible.
    It’s better to build a career in sales, far more rewarding.
    And if you really want to learn digital marketing, do it for yourself, so you can promote high-ticket offers and easily earn around $1000 as a side hustle.

    • @FreeAiChatbotForYourWebsite
      @FreeAiChatbotForYourWebsite 12 дней назад +1

      You bring up some very valid points. Working with small clients can indeed be incredibly challenging, especially when their expectations are far beyond what their products or services can realistically deliver. The pressure to achieve growth, often without the necessary resources or understanding from clients, can make the job feel like an endless struggle.
      You're right that digital marketing sometimes feels like a constant cycle of meeting unrealistic demands, which can lead to burnout. As for the suggestion about sales, it’s true that for many people, it can be a more straightforward and financially rewarding path.
      Learning digital marketing for your own projects is also a smart move, especially if you can promote high-ticket offers. It gives you control over your income and allows you to apply your skills without the added pressure of dealing with demanding clients.

    What if we start with own brand somthing like Private Label brand.
    In simple words what if we buy stuff from whole sale and then put own branding on it and sell it. Which if you are a good D-marketer then you can earn in millions by marketing your own brand.
    My personal idea is to start an artifical jewellery brand,
    1890 per piece will be the price for customer I'll get it for 300 to 400 in bulk.
    300 per piece W-S price
    200 per piece for Marketing
    150 for branding
    80/piece for returned product cost.
    A total of 300+300+200+150+80 = 1030
    860 Profit / piece
    If i managed to sell at least 100 pieces a day then it would be 860×100= 86000 × 30
    Which is 25.8m Per month clear cut net profit.
    Which will kills most of the fairs of a DM which you mentioned in this video.

      Bhai there are people who are selling 1000+ a day. It will take time but not impossible.
      And for your information
      On average, customers worldwide spend approximately $4.9 billion per day on e-commerce purchases. This estimate is based on global annual e-commerce sales, which exceeded $1.8 trillion in 2023, divided across the year.
      About “15 Cr to 17 Cr products” values 15 BILLION DOLLARS PER DAY.
      So it looks time taking but isn’t looks impossible k log 15 crore items daily online sell kr rahe hai and 15 crore mein se hum daily k 100 products bhi na sell kr sakein.

    Hi Sir, I enrolled in your Digital and Performance Marketing at Udemy may I know after completion of the courses I am able to get the certificates as well? Looking forward for the response
    On a side note, I have been following your account for a while now, and I would say I want to make you one of my mentors and learn from all the advice and tips you give throughout your channel. Thanks, sir!
