Where to start in digital marketing?

Dropshipping & Affiliate marketing is a good option if you just start marketing or you have to invest in a website or make it creative & attractive.

Make money as a content writer and YouTube is the best option to earn money.

What is there to be afraid of?

There are a thousand ways to make money online so
you should assess the income producing skills that you
already have and decide where to apply them.

I hate to keep repeating myself but I would advise you to
read some books on make money online, passive income,
work from home, and freelancing. You can also watch
YouTube videos but you need to limit those, don't spend
all day looking at YouTubes.

You should also read through this forum, there is lots of
priceless information here. One of my favorite threads
that I highly recommend for newbies is:

It doesn't really matter where you start, it is important

THAT YOU START. DOING. SOMETHING.

Hi Bruno

There are so many options, it depends on your preference and your strengths. Given your background you could even start your own agency.

I would start with affiliate marketing - because this will give you the end-to-end holistic experience of almost selling your own product. While affiliate marketing, you may build a website in the process, create content, work on SEO and paid traffic, extensively use social media and forums, try influencer marketing, reach out to top bloggers for backlinks, and learn to leverage youtube, etc. For a beginner, this experience will add up.

My suggestion is to start with the thread below...

Yes, it says 'with nothing' - but having some funds to invest makes the journey a bit easier. Don't buy ANYTHING until you know a bit about what you plan to do and how you'll do it.

"I'm a master in Marketing,"

Following the biggest players

I never had the courage to start my own path.

If ever a newbie posted a conflicted, incongruent post, this is it. The idea of anyone who claims to be a marketer, let alone a "master" and doesn't know where to start? Where to begin?

Keep your 500 in your pocket, you are no where near ready for this. However, if you follow some of the advice already given, and dive into the Paul Myers thread on DESPERATION, as has been linked to, then maybe next month, you'll have a better idea.

I have to call HOGWASH on the idea you are a master marketer, no disrespect or personal attack intended, just stating the obvious. OK?

QUOTE=Bruno Bandeira;11675151]Hi, I'm new to the site and I'm trying to find ways to make money from digital marketing.

I'm a master in Marketing, so I'm very aware of the importance of branding, knowing the target audience well, etc etc.

Although I follow some of the biggest players in the market, I never had the courage to start my own path. There are so many options that I am very confused and afraid. Where do you think I should start: Dropshipping? Affiliate Market? Plr? Launch of digital products? Or some other way?

What advice do you give to someone starting now?!

I have €500 to invest in whatever I need (paid traffic, website, creatives, courses etc)

Thank you very much[/QUOTE]

Affiliate marketing is the easiest starting point for you I believe, because you don't have to create products yourself etc.



Find some information here on the forum or somewhere else.

There are numerous options to make money online, and with 500 euros, you can have a website on any topic. You can definitely try affiliate marketing. Also, you can read books on making money through digital marketing, do research and find an option that is relevant to your liking and strengths, and if you can't find any, affiliate marketing is the best option.

Bruno, just an idea - if you hover over your name in the black toolbar at the top, then click on "View Classic", you'll be able to quote individual posts and comments, and the people in this thread will know who you're responding to. I know you're posting below each comment, but I suspect most of the contributors in this thread prefer not to use the modern view.


So far, everyone's been discussing various methods of online marketing. I suggest you first decide on what it is you want to market. A product? A service? A range of products? What niche?

If you don't have a particular product in mind, try finding a particular market - one that's already buying something and is easy to get in front of. If you do this, you'll probably find the product(s) or the market will dictate the optimal method(s) of promotion to use.

Imo affiliate marketing is the best way to transfer marketing theory to the digital domain. You don't need to worry about branding etc until after you're already earning inceome. However, it's important to get started on the right foot to avoid going down rabbit holes and wasting time, energy and cash on the wrong stuff.


Best of luck!

How about starting your digital marketing career from freelancing projects? It will help you know more about digital marketing and improve your skills. The best way to learn is to explore things, and you can invest your saving after that with your own personal experience.

A great opportunity to start an affiliate marketing business. You can be very successful and not incurring a lot of costs. This business model offers many advantages. The disadvantages come with the risk of losing money by relying solely on other businesses. For this reason, even if you continue with affiliate marketing, having a dropshipping element is a good idea. It can provide a steady income for your business. An online store can help you make more money.

Listbuilding.

Do it soon as possible. It is a true asset. Google Proof. Social Media Proof. It keeps your business in business.

Affiliate marketing is the best option for you,just follow your flow

Bruno,

Affiliate marketing is the way to go.

You pretty much sell other people's product and you don't have to do anything else.

The vendor follows up with your customer, sends the product, does customer service...

You pretty much collect a commission and that's it.

There are many ways to become a successful digital marketer, and you don't need to know everything about them from the start.

There are many techniques and tools available for you to use to grow your business, and you will soon have all the pieces of the puzzle in place.

To get started, the best thing to do is to create a website and start networking. Attend industry events, and attend in-depth workshops.

With 500 you can create a good looking landing page and pay for the traffic to get leads and after that convert them into sales.
Just create page and pay for the traffic just be sure you do your homework well!

First, you should learn a digital marketing course. After that, you start a project that gives hands-on experience and also have a chance to polish your skills.

Be a freelancer in digital marketing.
It will help you to earn money and improve your skills. Also you can try Content writing, SEO, Selling Ads.

You can start with free lectures on YouTube, then find a suitable training program on topics such as Google Analytics or promotion and advertising in social networks. On the Internet you can find many quality blogs or podcasts, which have a supporting materials for beginners. What I can accurately advise: do not go straight to marketers, and first study well one of the sub-professions (SMM, target marketer, contextualist, SEO, web developer...). You don't become a good marketer without in-depth knowledge of a sub-profession. Rather you manage to grow into a marketer later from these professions.

If you are beginner then start digital marketing course and choose the niche that will help you to gain experience and also hand on experience how the things actually work and also learn lots of other things to gain traffic.

Well if you a master in marketing then i think affiliate marketing its a good ideea .Dont be so confuse amd start something if you think too much you loose precious time .Give a try to something and see if you like it then you can change it after some time

I really feel sorry for people that were born with entrepreneurship in their blood but there just was no internet.


The are so many paths to success sometimes that is sometimes the problem itself.


Soon as you hit a speed bump you just hop on a different road. This happens so often. Weeks, months, even years can fly by and you are still trying to gain traction.



For example.."Make a list." There are alot of steps and it takes some time learning autoresponders, telling stories, social media, content creation, but you have to stick to it and learn all you can.


Become a YouTuber. Budget no budget. Do everything or outsource. On cam or faceless.


Entertain, Infotain you still need to learn the behind the scenes techy stuff and SEO. But so what. You learned how to ride a bike right? You can do it.


Wherever you start just have the mindset to hang in there and be realistic that there are steps inside the steps sometimes but stick with it.

I start with observations. They are totally free and so much to learn.

Success does leave a trail and sometimes a course.

There is plenty to to learn freely but do not be shy to invest in knowledge to shorten your journey to success.

Hello,

"Paid traffic is the best option for you."

Affiliate marketing is a good option. Also you can be a freelancer in Digital marketing.

Make money as a content writer and YouTube is the best option to earn money online.

I think you start from your website than do SEO and get clients and start freelancing in this field. Freelancing is a good career option.

There are many ways to earn money from Digital marketing because it is not a single platform there are many like seo, smm, youtube, affliate marketing etc. It completly depends on your skills and interests. Try to start with one and expand your skills..

Here is a challenge, start finding ways to earn money without spending any or keeping a very low budget.

Youtube = free

Website = domain registration + hosting perhaps $100/year.

Take something simple and start small. If you can find a way to earn $1000 in a month selling something vs building an affiliate site and maybe earning $5 then your motivation might change.

Whatever you do, do something that gets you excited to keep working on it even when there are days of 0 income.

Should start with SEO, it must be done in beginning while learning Digital Marketing, the mistake which I've made in my career, Thanks.

I think you should start in affiliate marketing due to the credibility that you can instantly borrow. You get to promote a proven product that has testimonials, good sales copy, a track history of converting, and a relatively high commission rate.

Cant say the same thing about PLR, your own brand new ebook, or even dropshipping.
