Career Change: Moving from Education to Digital Marketing

[@Wenzy_Royal]

I needed this, I'm literally taking a digital marketing course because I want to pivot from education into marketing.

I've been waiting for you to share this🎉❤. I needed this bra penson

Transition is neccessary at time, I think one thing that detours people from doing so is the fear of failure and lack of patience. Good things take time to build and the process can be challenging at times, very challenging. I never look back from when I Transition into a business space, the process was very challenging for the first few years but later on it ease up once you have built a great network and a good reputation in the market.

Interesting share. Thank you. I transitioned too. I was in real estate for a long time, leasing (retail mostly but also telecoms too). Life changed. I spent 8 months in social media PR. Rough industry coming from where I was from but I’m grateful because i needed the skills. I now have a KZbin channel and freelance to supplement while it grows at its own pace. I see myself as the real estate now, looking after myself by doing what I love, building my personal brand and leveraging off my energy to sell my products in various ways. Life begins every day. I watch your videos because I see you influencing minds. Irrespective of how much money this channel makes you, you’re doing what you love, expressing yourself and this probably enhances your value in other spaces. For me, YouTubing has expanded my mind, my heart and my world. The ad revenue is definitely not enough but as a marketing platform, it’s definitely a launchpad that our youth really needs to embrace if they feel stuck in life. Again, thanks.

Awesome advice. I'm also in education, so this is what i needed to hear

[@pensonmlotshwa]

I miss education sooooo much! Keep shaping minds!

[@damn7696]

This is quite inspiring, I'm still in the latter half my 20's and im trying to transition into Education through IT Ive grown tried of construction😂 Just need to figure out how to transfer these skills i learnt😅

[@APHELELEMakebesana]

I want to be an online entrepreneur but I struggle with focus, I become easily distracted...I think I know what I have to do but I struggle to be consistent, I do have job but I am not happy not only that I am not even happy in my personal life- I do not have friends or a girlfriend, and sometimes I feel lonely- but I understand that this is the time to up level my life but I need community and accountable friends but I find it hard to do that for me, maybe I feel not good enough. I have hope my brother but your story kind inspires me and I have been watching your content and I love it, I love the issues that you are tackling- hoping that I could find my voice one day as well...I believe I have poor self image which strips up every time, I will say this I am hopeful

[@contentedtiger_]

If you have an awareness around this, you can heal it yourself. I recommend writing (journaling). Just write your thoughts. Whatever it is and don't judge it. Over time, you'll observe yourself and begin to interrogate and start crafting your self-image toward how you want to see yourself and you'll become it. It's beginning the conversation with yourself then identifying which conversations you want to share with others 💚 I watched an interview with Sizwe Nxasana last week. He was already journaling as a teenager. It's underrated.

[@APHELELEMakebesana]

@contentedtiger_ Thank you for recommendation, I've been thinking about that as well

[@vnm_875]

I really get what you're saying about selling yourself. i work as a waiter at a 5 star restaurant and I've had more luck getting job potential opportunities more then I've put my cv in open vacancies 😅

[@pensonmlotshwa]

YOU HAVE TO SELL YOURSELF! Please invite me to that 5 star restaurant!

Did u have to back to university to study for it or was it self taught with all the help u got from mentors. It seems interesting.

[@pensonmlotshwa]

KZbin, Google & asking for help was my University…

1:11 vele there is no money on youtube, 6:12 mara the nails 💅 are you opening a nail bar? Or your lady is?😅

[@sbu7736]

I just came to correct your math.If you are making R50 per thousand views and you get 100 000 views,then you have made R5000 not R500 000. You're welcome
