The Journey begins

Marketing has always been something I wanted to pursue from an early age. I have this weird tendency to want to be the best at whatever I set my mind to and marketing for me is no different. This publication is dedicated to documenting the journey of how I go from your average broke AF college student to world-class digital marketer. I write about the ups and the downs, failures, achievements and the teachable moments.

Here is the list of skills I plan to have a solid albeit surface level ability in:

• Content creation/marketing (Social media, blog posts, Email marketing)
• Conversion Rate Optimisation (Building landing pages, A/B testing)
• Design (Creating Infographics, banner ads and pitch decks)
• Search Engine Optimisation (onsite and off-site only)
• Copywriting
• Html — CSS (the basic stuff)

And I plan on specialising in Paid ads (PPC, Adwords) and analytics (SQL, Google Analytics).

To achieve this I will be embarking on a number of side projects, (the first of which ‘Dear marketing student’, I have already launched) to challenge myself and build my skills at the same time.

I don’t really know what I’m doing, Everything will not go as planned, there will be lots of mistakes and failures along the way. But one thing I can guarantee is that there will be a lot of learning and progress.
