    Came here to say.... I LOVE the Storybrand framework and use it often with my consulting customers. In my opinion, marketing is what you make it these days. I work for a small, fast growing company. We are not a tech company. I am the only marketing person and my role is absolutely a little of…

  2. Recommendsyeahweliveforeverr/marketing2023in “Have zero marketing experience but am responsible for all of company’s marketing. Need help.”

    I highly recommended Google's Digital Garage introduction to digital marketing (or similar, can't remember the actual name). It's a free course with lots of modules split into handy sections with practical examples and quizzes to test yourself. You do leave with a certificate and it actually…

  3. Recommends3pxpr/smallbusiness2023in “Is it worth it to get your business listed on Google?”▲ 1

    Depends on the business but it's worth it. Google offers a free digital marketing course if you search for Google digital garage classes. They'll show you how to get the most out of their services for free. If you're not planning to hire a marketing agency soon that will at least make sure all…

  4. Recommendsbass73011r/Entrepreneur2023in “Thoughts on Udemy courses?”▲ 1

    If you are looking to learn the fundamentals of digital marketing then you should check out Google digital garage, they have a free course and you get a certificate from Google when you finish. https://learndigital.withgoogle.com/digitalgarage/course/digital-marketing

  5. Recommendsdzidzmundr/marketing2022in “Total beginner here looking for insight on marketing costs.”▲ 5

    You should visit Google Digital Garage and finish the free course called The Fundamentals of Digital Marketing. There is also a great course called Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate on Coursera. This will give you a great foundation on everything you need to know on…

  6. RecommendsJade_Jadedr/marketing2022in “My parents were highly against me purchasing a course providing lots of skills for marketing. Is there any other place I can learn?”▲ 183

    I recommend the resources below, they're free, informative and offer certificates at the end. HubSpot Academy offers loads of free courses on many topics (Marketing, Sales, Social Media, Advertising, etc.) HubSpot Academy - Digital Marketing Course Google Digital Garage offers free courses on…

    The great thing about marketing is that you don’t need a degree for it. In fact, don’t waste your money. Take the time to learn things online for free. SEO, email marketing, digital marketing, content marketing, and social media strategy. Take HubSpot Academy’s Inbound Marketing course. Then take…

  8. RecommendsYazimr/marketing2022in “Best free or paid crash courses on online marketing?”

    I'd suggest a lot of the Hubspot Academy courses (I'd link to these, but autobot tends to not like that). * Digital Marketing * Inbound Marketing * Business Analytics * If you like those, there's lots more on web design, advertising, social media, automation, etc. This meets your requirements: *…

    Start with the most straightforward way to reach out to the general public, I think, is to create FB/Instagram for your brand and try to reach groups with similar tastes. If you do this, you have to create a calendar and be consistent on your posts/community. For courses, look into Hubspot courses…

  10. Recommendsboricuajjr/marketing2022in “Paid a Marketing Agency, ZERO results. What to do?”▲ 1

    Isaac has some great courses! Google also has some great free courses- I'd recommend starting with Google Digital Marketing Fundamentals.

  11. RecommendsDreamingxCasuallyr/marketing2022in “Anything Missing From This Digital Marketing Skills Audit? - Trying to Understand Everything that is Digital Marketing”▲ 2

    That about sums up the gist of it. I recommend taking the free course from Google Digital Garage and get your certification. From there maybe take a couple courses on Udemy when they have their next sale to really take your game to the next level

    Hey, I've done both of those qualifications, the Google Digital Garage one and the Coursera one, I would agree with the rest of the others that Google digital Garage is the way to go as the first course to go with. While it teaches you the fundamentals of SEO and how Google works (crawling…

    Do you need a degree in “Fashion Marketing” to get your foot in the door? That seems like a very specific and somewhat unnecessary degree, unless you’ve spoken to employers in that industry that require it. I would suggest working on basic digital marketing skills (SEO, Content Writing, Google…

  15. RecommendsMissDesiiiir/marketing2020in “Advice on specialization?”▲ 8

    Look up Google Digital Garage and take the Fundamentals of Digital Marketing course. Take your time and take lots of notes. The certification exam isn't hard at all but it's nice to have the notes as references in the future. After that, you can get more specific and take the Search Ads course &…

    It sounds like (from what you’re saying) that maybe your website isn’t performing the role it should be. Are you using website analytics to see user statistics etc? It’s difficult to say without seeing your site/metrics, but if you have a solid, working business idea and word of mouth promotion is…

    Google’s fundamentals of digital marketing is very useful, clear and free. And you get a certificate on completion. I’d start with this as it gives you a fairly good overview. Google adwords certification - free and an incredibly useful. Google analytics course - free. Bing Ads - free. Facebook…

    The first place I would start is here: https://moz.com/beginners-guide-to-social-media This is a great intro to social media marketing; it lays out a lot of the basic concepts and practices. Moz updates their guides regularly to keep them relevant. Then you have a few choices. If you are really…

    As with any career related question, the answer is: It depends. The English minor will give you some structure, process and a very good framework for writing, proofreading and overall better at copy. Which is an awesome and highly sought after skill. You can also do a Udemy class like…

    Lynda/LinkedIn Learning is great! I've taken a lot of courses through there as well when I feel like I need to know more about something than I do. I'd also recommend getting certified in Google Analytics and Ads (to start, though data studio and tag manager are good skills as well), and Hubspot's…
