When I was in university, I felt attracted to a digital marketing career and freelancing. 

There are many branches like SEO, content marketing, social media marketing, google ads, and more, and I was doubtful about where and how to start my career.

Finally, I decided to be an SEO specialist and bought an SEO-related DVD from the market. 

I was excited. Started watching, and finally, I learned nothing! 

Yes, I have learned nothing.

Actually, the DVD cover was awesome and exciting, which motivated me to buy it, but the course instructor was ridiculous.

My face then looked like the picture below.

 

Then a few days went by like this. This time I started searching on YouTube. 

 

Lots of SEO-related videos I watched, but nothing of them was organized. I mean from zero to advance level.

 

But yes, I learned a few things scattered from those videos.

 

Finally, I got. It was an organized video series on YouTube. 

 

I have undoubtedly learned many fundamental things from those video series. 

 

The course teacher was above and beyond my expectation. 

 

So...

 

If you want to learn from YouTube, follow the guidelines below:

 

Next, I have done a course on the Udemy platform. That course was related to Facebook marketing, and I earned a certificate. 

 

I followed the following strategy in choosing the course. You can follow the same way.

 

 

Now I have a certificate. I felt happy.

 

I felt now I could start work. I took a domain and hosting from Namecheap and set up a health blog. 

 

Oh, I forgot to mention one more thing.

 

I also watched videos on how to set up a WordPress blog on YouTube at that time.

 

I started writing unique articles following the SEO guidelines on my blog. And did most of the things that I have learned. 

 

 

I began to see my digital marketing success. Maximum articles ranked on Google.

 

Oh, one more thing. Again I have forgotten. 

 

Sorry.

 

Shortly after starting my blog, I opened my SEO-related services on Fiverr. 

 

Most probably after two or three months, I got my first order, and after submission, I got a 5-star review. I'll never forget that moment.

 

 

So...

 

Whatever the things you learn must apply those practically, and I believe you will be successful in your career journey.
