Hi Rich,, i was learning about data Analysis but i paused it for a while to learn digital marketing/ECommerce and im liking it. I love display technology & I'm beginning to think Social media management and graphic design would be a better career path rather that marketing itself. Im curious and love posting content quite alright, but i dont want the headache of "convincing potential customers to patronize a brand"😅. What advise can you give me at this juncture?
Not sure how I found your channel, but I'm loving all your content and information. I currently have a jewelry business but would like to start Digital Marketing and found this video so so helpful and now will be checking out your other videos!
I’m just starting a Google digital marketing course and really need to get out of my current 9 to 5. I’m motivated and have a background in marketing. Customer relations and have started my own small business
This is good info. I am a developer and I have been freelancing for about a year now. I had a slow start and then a starting gain good clients, but now things have come to almost a complete stop. This was definitely an eye opener for me. I love to graphic design, video edit, and yet I have been avoiding running ads and etc. This is definitely the missing piece to my work flow...smh...I will definitely be watching more vids. You've earned my sub!
Thanks Rich. This is my 2nd year in Digital marketing, and this resource states out the struggles, recent experiences and best practices t o try out. I already subscribed. I look forward to growing to be a much better digital marketer.
Hey I'm Currently a Digital Marketing student. I'm Just about to graduate from the diploama program this April. I'm Loving your content and its really helping me get some ideas of where to go from here!
I been thinking about starting this journey now that the covid cancel the 2020 cfl season I’m all in! In becoming a digital marketing consultant! I been watching a lot of videos to self though myself and you give a lot of value in be watching
I just came across your channel today and immediately subscribed!! I'm currently enrolled in university pursuing Marketing and you're completely right about not needing a degree they covers more of the "theory" side of Marketing instead of the practical side of it. I'd would love to collaborate with you in the future thank you for the insight :)
Wow Bryssa. Please contact me at rich@richandniche.com - I want to hear more about this experience you are having and see what collab you might be thinking of.
Wow, you’re the first person I’ve found who was a dev first then digital marketer like me, working on multiple projects, I feel like I have 1 foot in both worlds, anyway I’m subbed and looking forward to finding out more : )
Hi! I am currently taking my initial steps towards being a digital marketer. I am open with free digital marketing works , I will treat it as my hands on training and an addition to my portfolio. Thanks!
i get the knowledge from college - then they sending me with a contract to work at digital office so i can gain there my ability and most important - result wich i can collect by the time a employer and then base on that i will open my own digital marketing agency !
hi, i recently found about digital marketing, one of the skills i would like to learn and earn through it while i travel , the only thing i am concerned about is i don't know where to start. my background is in fashion design and i know nothing about creating websites and stuff
i want to become a digital marketer and so glad i found your channel its been very helpful, so far the question i have right now is "do i need to form a business, for example, an LLC, Crop, sole proprietor? before i start trying to get clients?"
Great video. Great content! I'm a digital marketer in an agency. Ready to leave agency life!!! but wasn't confident in my ability. I did create my website and after 1.5 in the field; maybe i do have enough knowledge to go freelance. What kinda video camera are you using?
Hi Rich, I've finished my 4 year course in digital marketing in Amsterdam. Really like your content and would like to apply for your course. I am working for one client at the moment: For me the hardest is the "designing part". Like you I am more of a funnel/strategy builder. Should I invest in myself taking courses in designing/ video production or do you think designing can be outsourced in the future of the digital marketing landscape?
Video can be so useful at every stage of the customer journey, just watch some youtube free tutorials, and make 5 videos. see if you ever like it. might be worth it
But nothing wrong with outsourcing it either, but in this world, multi-skill is good for defense, all-in on one skill is offense. you decide whats right for you given the circumstances and economy you are in
Coach i was wondering : 1- which freelancer website were using now or in the past! Was it Upwork Or fiverr? 2- And how did you became in those platform?
Im in digital content, e-commerce, emails, video, and UX UI, and have a designer title and want marketing to-be my new adventure. When starting your own blog/build traffic, just wondering what’s the nature of this content should be such as; digital services/training materials that supports what I’m wanting to do, so e.g: whilst I’m transitioning, I’m going to use my video services on the side to ease into consulting. What nature of blog content is best, or could I try promoting another product or service just for the experience?
You want your blog to assist your brand, your authority and your organic search traffic. Use a blend of different types of content to achieve those goals.
that's exactly what i am doing. I would like to web development and digital marketing. What kind of product were you selling to generate traffic? Love your content and information.
LivinLikeLainy don’t switch, start small digital marketing project on the side, be great at strategic video content, learn what kind of video can help business.
What if a client asks you for help but you don't think that their product is good enough or can sell easily, do you turn them down? Cos you might be doing all the right things but not getting results, but you know it isn't because of lack of marketing...
in most cases turn them down. But you should ask - what have you done for your marketing before? Was it successful? Why not? Why do you think this time will be different? We as marketers cannot be responsible for results as we do not control the product - we can only do our best to hit the deliverables we say we will based on their agreement of the intended strategy. They are responsible if it fails more than you. They hired you! THey can blame if they want. Now you know all of that you can decide if these clients are worth it but most cases they are not and you should ignore them. Marketing is not about buying instant success - its about promoting what you have the best you can. now some cases the marketer can TURN AROUND the business but it mnay only be short term if the product support and quality is weak.
I've literally been spending months trying to figure out how to make money with my smartphone or my computer. And probably watched all the money making videos on you tube. But this digital marketing sounds like the only realistic way.
Same here bro, ive spent alot of time trying to figure that out. So can you please tell me if you found any other ways and hows it going with digital marketing? How did you start learning digital marketing
Hello Big Bro I will love to get in touch with you. I would like to do digital marketing and having u as a mentor would be great. Looking forward to reading from you.
Hello I have two different travel bussines different name, slightly different product (both companies are doing canyoning) one is based in slovenia other in czech republic can I do as an add the same video on Facebook with different descriptions? Or are there any rules about it?
This might be a dumb question however I am an absolute beginner; As your video suggests I don't want to offer services I can't follow through on. I want to practice with my own content/projects. I have a rough idea of digital marketing concepts and techniques. Say if I want to practice SEO/SEM/website rankings etc. ....however I have no definable 'product' to sell as of yet....what type of content/websites would you suggest creating to practice with? Struggling to find some guidance on this!
You start SEO by making a niche blog and seeing if you can get people to visit your website by writing content focused on long tail keywords. SEM means spending money on adwords. Pick a single keyword, Spend small. Make sure everything is tracking well in Google Analytics.
The barrier to entry is so low on Digital Marketing that anyone can (and does) become your competition. Local shops are getting 50 calls a day from Digital Marketers promising all kinds of leads. Perhaps you could focus on how to get clients?
Hello Rich. I wanted to say that I very much enjoy your videos. I have recently taken a big interest in digital marketing as a career path. I was working in IT and hated it. Very stressful plus office politics are the worst. I am very interested in learning more skills needed to pursue a career in this field but I have ZERO experience. Essentially I am starting from scratch. I know enough photoshop to make album covers. I have minimal video editing skills I learned for fun. Where should I start? What would be a good first thing to focus on? I was interested in starting a blog as well. I don't know very much about that either. I am willing to learn more though. Any advice either you of one of the viewers could give me would be a great help in starting the new journey. Anyway thank you for your great videos and keep up the good work.
Digital marketing is vast. Start with my Digital Marketing Consultant's Blueprint (its an overview) and then consider taking my Full Stack Marketing Funnels workshop (teachs you the money making skillset). These courses ARE the fast track - your other option is to piece it all together through trial and error. A blog IS a good place to start. Thanks for watching!
Try to combine digital marketing and data analytics. Such a powerful combination!
I would also say being able to have UX skills would be useful for ecommerce clients
Hey where can I learn these are there google or Facebook courses I can take to understand this ?
Can you elaborate why that's a feasible combination?
Hi Rich,, i was learning about data Analysis but i paused it for a while to learn digital marketing/ECommerce and im liking it.
I love display technology & I'm beginning to think Social media management and graphic design would be a better career path rather that marketing itself. Im curious and love posting content quite alright, but i dont want the headache of "convincing potential customers to patronize a brand"😅.
What advise can you give me at this juncture?
I love this!!! I'm trying to become very successful as well. Trying
I want to get started and realize I have sooo much to learn. I'm glad I found you
We hope to see you inside the Academy soon :)
Just started my own marketing company a few days ago, thank you for the helpful info
Results, is my motto now.

Do you considere data science / Data mining skill as a necessity for Digital marketing?
What is the best type of computer you are using to achieve this? And curious to know where you started when you began your services. Thanks! 😊
I use both PCs and Macs. I have covered your question in my most popular video - How to Become a Digital Marketing Consultant.
What if a client asks you for help but you don't think that their product is good enough or can sell easily, do you turn them down? Cos you might be doing all the right things but not getting results, but you know it isn't because of lack of marketing...

Hey, Rich, I am someone who learns on the job, do you have any internships?
