Thanks for the video Alif! I'm 26, graduated with a dual-bachelor's in management, as well as marketing, received 3 nonprofit certifications, a google digital marketing certification, and a hubspot digital marketing certification, and really looking into the life of a social media specialist. Seeing these types of videos really helps with the day-to-day of a DMS, and helps with the anxiety i have over putting myself out there on doing it!
@@wra7h extremely nervous, because I've never really had the hands-on training or practice. It's like, I've learned the theory behind all this stuff, not how to actually do it/apply it. If that makes sense
@@juniorrose5138 Hey! Speaking from my personal experience I've had marketing jobs that pay me 70k a year, and if I freelance I've made up to 5k a month.
Im currently finishing highschool and choosing a career path. I'm considering DM but I want to do my research first. So THANKS for the video and you gained yourself a new subscriber
As a Digital…Marketing… Specialist as you say it, I envy your video editing. Not many people understand the subconscious level of attraction and interaction your splices causes for the viewers. It creates a “dead air, rambling feel” to a cut to the chase feel. I’m one year into my position here in So Cal, Bakersfield and am doing my first day in the life and I’m nervous. I’m my own worst enemy but I can give one heck of a pep talk or uplift elevator speech to someone. Cheers
I'm starting my internship in September and even though I know what I learned in school I'm stressing out thinking I'm going to make a fool of myself 😅 I guess we all have to start somewhere tho
Do you think the digital marketing industry is still growing? Is it still in its infancy compared to like traditional marketing? Seems like there are lot of jobs in this field but all good things come to an end eventually.
Ok, so… you have to do a lot of design things like photoshop and editing. And also you have to be copywriter. Is it better to know design to be better at digital marketing?
I am a marketing management student and i want to pursue digital marketing as a career. I'm very passionate to but I noticed that marketing management course here in my country doesn't teach us about seo, google analytics and the over all digital marketing, so I have to take shourt courses separately to learn the require skills to be able to pursue this career. Hopefully i took the right path in this degree and this will led me to my dream career.
Awesome, two things: Start practically applying what you're learning and developing the tangible skill set Start networking with other industry professionals who are in senior positions ^ that'll get you far!
Back when I was working in this role (this was one of the first marketing roles I’ve ever had) I as getting paid $45,000 Cad \ year working 40 hours a week.
Is digital marketing a stressful job… like are there weekly and monthly quotas that you have to meet??? I wfh too but we have certain quotas that really make my job incredibly stressful
Well, this really depends on the company. Not necessary if you work in digital marketing. In my current job, I do have quotas, but in previous jobs, I didn't. So it really depends.
Are you talking about copywright claim? Honestly this is outside my area of expertise. What are you trying to do, make videos? If so, I've used Artlist in the past, it's great for copyright free music.
Taking everything into account, do you like really the work you do in this video in general. or is it just another job or a stepping stone to something else?
I made this video a while back. Back then, I was whatever about the work. The work was ok, company was ehh, and my manager wasn't the best. Fast forward to now, I love what I do. But in terms of the digital marketing work itself, minus the corporate stuff, I absolutely love it. It's my passion!
Are you saying from my job? It all depends on where you work. If you work at an agency, you'll die lol. If you work in a big company as an inhouse marketer you'll have a lot more free time :)
This is my 3rd marketing job, so my first job hired me with no experience. And I trained myself. I have a video in my channel breaking it down if you're interested.
If one does not have the writing skills that is needed for content writing, email marketing and copy writing should he take digital marketing as a career? Like is there anything else he can do to be in the digital marketing field
A big part of what you'll be doing is writing. So I'd recommend you learn a bit of writing - you don't need to be the best writer just be good enough and you should be ok!
Hey there! I really love your energy and it gives me hope. :D I work as a Digital Marketing Specialist for 4 months now. The thing is, I never did marketing before, I have a BA in Graphic Design and I had to start from zero with all the information and the habits I need to keep up with the work. I have a question for you: where is it cool to start with? KPI notions, theory and stuff like that? Or practicing until it gets better? (This is what I'm doing right now lol) I sometimes feel like a fraud, I'm also shy and when I have to talk to the Copywriter, it's complicated for me. Teach me, master!! 😆😆
Hey Eva! Congrats on the marketing role, it seems like you've decided to step into growth. I'm excited to see what the future holds for you. I'd recommend you practice until you get better. On top of that, research while you do. For example, in your job you might be asked to create a landing page, but instead of simply creating one off the top of your head, research what makes a really good landing page and spend about an hour doing so before actually creating one. This will do two things: - You'll learn the theory but practically apply it so you don't forget - You'll be able to keep up with the slang and knowledge of other reputable marketers This is something I'm still doing now to this day and it's been helping me a lot. So again, research while you do.
would you be able to find an entry level or internship with no experience/bachelors? I see many mention being a student or a bachelors but I just have an AS from years ago. what would be the best way to get into it? certificate and portfolio, or would I be able to get an entry level/internship without
I broke into marketing, never having studied marketing in school. What's helped me has been: - Learning practical marketing skills through my side business - Creating a portfolio of work that showed employers I knew my stuff ^ using that I got my first job in digital marketing Feel free to DM me on Insta if you have more specific questions: @alifios
im not going to say how much older but i am quite a bit older than most people ive seen on youtube in the digital marketing social/digital media sector, and i'm looking for something new, getting a little bored with my current 'thing', but i see a lot of people in the industry are qualified to degree level, im not, is it something you really have to be to work in this world or is it just useful if you are?
You don't need a degree to work in the field, but it really helps if you have practical hands-on experience. Here's a video where I walk through exactly how I broke into this space: ruclips.net/video/1ondVMg2yJ8/видео.html&lc=UgzjNy-46F1TREvdrXx4AaABAg&ab_channel=AlifHuq
Do you think it's possible to land an entry level job after high school with certifications and an internship? I've been in the marketing space for over one year now, I mainly specialize in outbound marketing. Any tips for me?
I've helped a B2B SaaS in creating a community and growing it to 4100+ members that significantly augmented user acquisition, also marketed an info product and consulted people on outbound marketing.
Yes, it's totally possible. I never studied marketing in school or had any fancy certifications, but I still broke into it. If you want to know how to do that, here's my free course: alifhuqmarketinginc.com/digital-marketing-course Or, you can watch this video: ruclips.net/video/1ondVMg2yJ8/видео.html&lc=UgzjNy-46F1TREvdrXx4AaABAg&ab_channel=AlifHuq
They can help if you use them right. In my opinion, you'll get hired faster if you can sit in infront of a desk and do the skill rather than yell at the world that you learned something from school.
Hey there, as long as the program gives you practical hands on experience that you can add into a portfolio, there will be a high chance of employers will see your technical skills and hire you. But if you solely rely on a degree or certification to get a job, that's not going to be effective. For example, for me, I broke into digital marketing without ever having done any certifications, educational requirements etc. But I was able to do it because I had practical copywriting experience.
It depends where you work and how you work. Some places they burn you out. Some places they love worklife balance, some place you'll be bored out of your mind. Again, it's not about the work itself that dictates worklife balance, but the place you work.
You're only a slow learner because you say you are. If you think that going into the role, you will struggle. Instead, maybe re-frame it as, "I take my time learning because I'm very thorough, and this will help me with the job" But yes, to answer your question, there will be a lot to learn, like any new industry.
Are you asking about how many hours per week I work? It depends, there were times I work 30 hours, other times 60 hours, it all depends on where you work. Agencies = long work hours Big companies = short work hours Running your own business = really long work hours
Hi, I am looking to get into the digital marketing industry. Currently, I am considering doing Purdue University's post Graduate Digital Marketing Program but I want to ask if you reccomend that I do an apprenticeship first before going into a University Digital Marketing Program?
I am interested in becoming a marketing specialist. Do need college for this role? and how did you get into this field? I’d love some advice. Ready to change my life.
No, I start my marketing specialist position Monday. BUT you need to have experience and be able to convey that to a company. Self learning would be good as well. I’ve invested in courses over the years (social media tips, SEO, running ads, etc.). Good luck with everything!
Hey dear Alif, freshly found this amazing channel and your speaking tyle is awesome ❤, Plz could you tell me how to learn digital marketing as a completely fresher
Hey there! I never studied marketing in school nor did I ever get a certification / diploma from it so you should be good. As long as you can practically apply digital marketing and have the skills - that should be good.
It's a good start but not enough. I'd recommend you learn practical digital marketing skills via free work, freelancing, or creating your own projects. From there, create a portfolio and show it to employers. This will make you much more employable.
Hey Mic, the rule of thumb I like to go by is: Practical experience is always better to have than just textbook knowledge. During interviews, if they ask you "have you ever done XYZ" and all you can reply back with is "well, I studied this in school"
Nice video mate, any pointers from where one should start learning digital marketing and guidelines to land a remote job ? I've studied MBA, doing sales job, thinking about moving to digital marketing space. (Also have a RUclips channel on which I've stopped working now😄)
Honestly most roles nowadays are remote, but there are specific sites that only deal with remote jobs. You can check them out. DM if you have any further questions.
Hi man, what advice would you give me im currently doing my apprenticeship on digital marketing, I wanted to ask you if you got any tips for me starting and is it good to have a lot of certificates for a job interview or not? Because I have 20 focused on digital marketing.
What I'll tell you is prioritize real life experience and keep track of all those projects in a portfolio. Then use that portfolio during job interviews to sell yourself. That's more likely to get you a job than collecting certifications.
thank you ALIF for such insightful video....I am trying to join internet marketing diploma from Montréal , would you mind how much money/ salary I should expect ? thank you love! and peace!
Hahaha you seem such a lovely guy and talking about your mum and your lunch made me laugh so hard 🤣😂😂😂 it is same with me I am actually 10 years older than you and living of course on my own still taking sometimes a lunch from my mum 😇😅🥹 greetings from Slovenia big supporter here I’ve just subscribed but I have been following you for awhile and your content thank you so much!!🥳🥳🤩
Depends on the company and the role :) But generally speaking, if you want a chill sit back type of role, not sure if marketing is the right fit for you.
Omg thank you soooo much for breaking down your job role as a content marketing specialist!! That's my dream job 😍 If you can't share your monthly salary, could you please share some insights on what to expect doing that job full-time? Please pleaaaase I would reaaally appreciate it 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Totally, there's a lot to say, why don't you send me a DM on Instagram and I'll send you a voice note? (I find it's easier to speak rather than type long form messages) :)

Great marketing on the cereal, didnt even eat it, really sold it to me
Honestly it's so convenient and keep you filled 😂😂😂
Do you think the digital marketing industry is still growing? Is it still in its infancy compared to like traditional marketing? Seems like there are lot of jobs in this field but all good things come to an end eventually.

Ok, so… you have to do a lot of design things like photoshop and editing. And also you have to be copywriter. Is it better to know design to be better at digital marketing?
You don't have to know design, but if you do, you're 10 steps ahead compared to everyone else. It'll give you a boost for sure.
You have a great personality, Keep it up Alif .
Appreciate it!

Hi. Are there many different jobs online which You can do as a digital marketer or content crearor? What kind of jobs You can do ?
Content creator is part of being a digital marketer. You're using the internet to create an audience and drive traffic. So I do both technically.
What softwares do you use?
For what exactly?

Hey, just wondering whether a certificate, diploma and a online course are enough to get into this position?
They can help if you use them right. In my opinion, you'll get hired faster if you can sit in infront of a desk and do the skill rather than yell at the world that you learned something from school.
Does a digital marketing specialist college certification combined with a UX design Google certificate help you land a good job in UX Design?
Hey there, as long as the program gives you practical hands on experience that you can add into a portfolio, there will be a high chance of employers will see your technical skills and hire you. But if you solely rely on a degree or certification to get a job, that's not going to be effective.
For example, for me, I broke into digital marketing without ever having done any certifications, educational requirements etc. But I was able to do it because I had practical copywriting experience.

No you don't. I never studied it in school but work in the industry.
@@alifhuq86 I don't like my degree course, this give me hope
Great video, I’m studying digital media and I’m considering the google courses, do you think it is enough to get a job?
It's a good start but not enough. I'd recommend you learn practical digital marketing skills via free work, freelancing, or creating your own projects. From there, create a portfolio and show it to employers. This will make you much more employable.
Are diploma courses and apprenticeships better than a degree for this role ?
Hey Mic, the rule of thumb I like to go by is:
Practical experience is always better to have than just textbook knowledge. During interviews, if they ask you "have you ever done XYZ" and all you can reply back with is "well, I studied this in school"
keep smiling
Will do :)
Nice video mate, any pointers from where one should start learning digital marketing and guidelines to land a remote job ?
I've studied MBA, doing sales job, thinking about moving to digital marketing space.
(Also have a RUclips channel on which I've stopped working now😄)
Honestly most roles nowadays are remote, but there are specific sites that only deal with remote jobs. You can check them out. DM if you have any further questions.
are u Bangladeshi?
Yessssiirrrr
Hi man, what advice would you give me im currently doing my apprenticeship on digital marketing, I wanted to ask you if you got any tips for me starting and is it good to have a lot of certificates for a job interview or not? Because I have 20 focused on digital marketing.
What I'll tell you is prioritize real life experience and keep track of all those projects in a portfolio. Then use that portfolio during job interviews to sell yourself. That's more likely to get you a job than collecting certifications.
Is this a salary role Alif?
Yes, it is :) Back then that role was paying me 45k / year Canadian.
Amazing ❤️
Thank you Abdul!
What is your work hours? 9-7?
I would say 9-5!
Just watch another video he can't explain what he does. Every excuse is he'll get fired if he does. Pointless!
Hey, at least I kept my job though ;)
Thanks. Exactly my takeaway
So a lot of this writing could have been done easily with AI ?
.... I regret to inform you, yes....
thank you ALIF for such insightful video....I am trying to join internet marketing diploma from Montréal , would you mind how much money/ salary I should expect ? thank you love! and peace!
Depends on your role, experience, company, and where you live. If you're about a couple years into marketing you can make 70k+

Depends on the company and the role :) But generally speaking, if you want a chill sit back type of role, not sure if marketing is the right fit for you.

Totally, there's a lot to say, why don't you send me a DM on Instagram and I'll send you a voice note? (I find it's easier to speak rather than type long form messages) :)

Do you need a degree??
In my opinion, no you don't :)
