How To Get a Digital Marketing Job with No Experience

[@ilovegames9053]

I just finished a DM certificate but it was all theory, so I created a website and a Pinterest account and have just actioned my first campaign in Google ads and am looking forward to actioning more from my course.

[@neilpatel]

That's the best thing to do!

[@MarketingHarry]

These are golden advices, Neil! One can definitely make free audits and learn in the process, so that it's completely possible to get a job even with less or no experience. That would also require to improve daily in order to earn reputation and build meaningful connections which is everything in the business today.

[@neilpatel]

No doubt :)

[@EarlChanges]

Hi Neil, just wanna say thank you for this content. You're really giving me solid value for Marketing as a newbie. Hope our path will cross someday. As such, will continue to support the things you do man. Cheers to doing more and being excellent at it.

[@danaslx]

Hi Neil, I’m a Marketer with 4 years’ experience in content creation, social media management, strategy and analytics & reporting. I’ve worked in the beauty & fashion industries but am now working to support organisations with a social and environmental responsibility, including in the educational sector. I’d like to start my own digital marketing agency one day, but before that am stacking up my certifications and applying them to my current workplace. How can I go about offering my services to clients on a contract basis? Which DM service would you focus on that would be manageable in one day per week for instance?

[@neilpatel]

A goodpplace to start that doesn't require much time would be social media or content optimizer/editor

[@danaslx]

@@neilpatel Hi again Neil! Hope you’re doing well 😊 I wanted to ask - would it be a good idea to work as a freelance marketing consultant and start by creating a marketing strategy for a company and after offering your services to implement the strategy? Or is it better to use the opposite order (for example working on social media and content creation and then offering to create a strategy based on your findings, analytics reports) when you’re first working with a client?

[@itsU-240]

This is exactly what I've been googling n trying to find an answer for since today morning..zero experience here....im getting the certifications now....i hope all this helps for the job coz I really need this 😫

Hi Neil. First of all I'd like to just say thank you. No one takes time to reply to every single comment like you do.. So freaking awesome of you. I have done telesales for over 6 years and then had a major burn out this may and I resigned from a very well paying job. Not wanting to do sales anymore, so been looking into digital marketing and have just about completed Google's digital marketing course. I'll do your SEO course next. Hoping to find an entry level job then. Any recommendations you might have for me? Sorry for the long message. Thank you.

I am looking for internship where one can get hands on experience on all digital tools like google ads, social media ads, copywriting, seo etc. By doing so I will get experience along with the value contribution to the clients and agency itself.
