[@prajwalbtegur]

Hey bro, I was one of those who had requested you for this video. Thank You for making it and providing links to all the free resources. I have a few questions regarding employment in this domain. Is demand for digital marketers still good out there in the market? There isn't any saturation in the market like it is happening with computer engineers ryt? What do you think about the effects of AI and all? Asking because I started to learn 2-3 skills and got to know the market is saturated after I was half way down. Am seriously considering taking this path. Just need a confirmation before I start. Thank You.

[@AlivewithAG]

You’re welcome. Currently it’s not saturated. So like always it’s - sooner you start, the better it is. Also regarding ai, it is making our job easier. Be a pro in prompts and you can use ai in your advantage. With practice and observation, you can be really good at promoting.

hii can u please explain e ..if we want to do pratical part on the learning then i need to buy domain and hosting ..but in your video u mentioned that it was only costly ur time not money ..can u tell me how did u do it free

[@AlivewithAG]

Hey! Good question 👌 For doing it free of cost, use 000webhost.com for web hosting. It’s totally free. Use very rare domains so that in real world no one will acquire that. If someone actually purchases that domain, your website on 000webhost will be gone. You’ll have to start over again. Thanks

[@zuhaidaman153]

Sir start Digital Marketing complete Playlist please ❤❤

[@AlivewithAG]

Sure I will, thank you :)

[@vikramaditya9761]

I want to start a website for practice seo. Can you tell me a hosting provider which is budget friendly?

[@AlivewithAG]

You could use ‘in.000webhost.com’ for free web hosting. This would be enough for learning. Choose a domain which is highly unlikely that someday someone will buy it. When someone acquires that domain, it won’t be available in 000webhost. Other best paid option is hostinger.

[@tavleensingh6683]

It's very knowledgeable video it really help full for freshers or someone who want to change there line. Actually I am planning an online business of print t-shirt..for this me and my partner decided to sell on social platforms first if response is good then we will go for a website. Here I need an opinion that our budget is low to hire any agency for social marketing...is it possible for me to learn ourselves digital marketing first or is it to leanthy process for a person to manage production and digital marketing at same time

[@AlivewithAG]

Thank you very much for your support. It will be better to hire a freelancer who would do this for you on the basis of commission per conversion. In that way you will have to pay him when you get the sales and also for that to happen, the freelancer would work really hard too because it is good for him as well. So it is better for both you and the freelancer. Meanwhile you can learn the social media ads too. Also remember that the amount you spend for the ad will be spent by you. The fee of the freelancer is what I meant by the commission. In case of any confusions, feel free to reach out to me. My email is given in the description :)

[@Learnwithtalha01]

Could you please tell me the earning possibilities in digital marketing career? Not the exact amount but to some extent.

[@AlivewithAG]

Sure, for the 0-1 year, you can get approx. 18-20K/month, 1-2yrs will be 28-30K and with 3 years experience you can ask for 37 to 40K. If you stay in the same company, yearly you might get 5-10% hike and if you switch you will get at least 30% hike! Hope this helps. Thanks

[@fariztechpr]

Hey bro. Thanku for the video. I am also a computer science graduate. I also want to switch to digital marketing because of i love to edit videos post it and manage the social media like that stuffs..also i think the demand is high for digital marketers because of the online business..but i am confused about the salary.. will we get high income from this job

[@AlivewithAG]

Don't worry about it, the pay is really good. Mostly depends on the brands you work on. Focus on improving your skills, become the best in that and instead of doing a 9-5 job, try to learn digital marketing including ads and branding and try creating a brand around you and your social media, that way you can get as many clients as you want and you won't be dependent on a salary, you will be getting a lot more than that via the freelance clients. All the best

sir what is your current package? and your story is really good! btw I'm from Punjab and i recently completed my bca and alongside my studies i had done digital marketing course and did some projects and had 3 months experience in agency and looking for a best company to join as a digital marketing executive in ludhiana!

[@AlivewithAG]

Thank you! I'm sorry, sharing the salary details on public platform isn't good actually. Connect with me via email. Also if possible, you could move to nearby big cities, it would be better. Or you could look for wfh opportunities in big companies for this role. I say for the first 5 years try to work in multiple things like SEO, paid ads, social media etc and then choose what you really like :)

[@Mintfxs316_]

you never took the freelancing route which can definitely pay alot more than 9 to 5 route..?

@@AlivewithAG My budget is 30k to 40k ! Is it possible to afford a good laptop in this budget .

[@AlivewithAG]

It is possible. In your budget range, you’ll get laptops with 8GB RAM and i5 processors. Also once you have your laptop, you can add an additional 8GB RAM by spending just 3000rs or less. So you’ll have a 16GB RAM machine in that price itself 😇😊
