To become the best digital marketer, start by learning from online courses, reading industry blogs, and practising hands-on with real projects. Analyze successful campaigns and keep experimenting to discover what works best. Stay updated with trends and tools in the field.

Learn the basics (free courses!), pick your passion (SEO, social media etc.), get hands-on (own blog, volunteer!), master the tools (free & paid!), and keep learning (news & workshops). You'll be a pro in no time!

For sure the industry is already very saturated. It’s difficult to make your mark. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Learn as much as you can from long time experts in the field such as Barry Schwartz, etc. Then, pick a less saturated niche: For example, a specific industry that could benefit from SEO’ing their websites such as movie theaters, bowling alleys, roller rinks, pet stores, etc. Be THE place to go for all mom ‘n’ pop pet stores across the country. (Just giving an example. Pick an industry that makes sense for you.)
