How to be a Digital Marketer after 12th

Many people in today’s life are ready to explore the world. They want to do uncommon things and try to live their life fully. Many students also dream about the same. But living a carefree adventurous life needs a lot of money.

If you don’t have money then you can expect to have a beautiful and luxurious life all along. For earning extra money you have to earn a hefty amount and you have to save it for later. If you want to income a handsome salary you need to go some extra mile.

If you are a 12th pass out student and want to income a handsome monthly income you can opt. for a digital marketer. It’s very easy to do. You just need to complete a certificate course and you are ready to go.

Alert! If you are interested in internet and marketing only, then you can opt for. for this because if you are not passionate about it you never will be able to survive in this industry because it’s a really unpredictable industry.

I remember once I met a boy, a fresh 12 th pass out student, Prashant, who is very much into internet and stuff like that, he came to me for advice, and I gave him the option of becoming the digital marketer. But he was hesitant and said he also want to pursue graduation.

Then I told him that you can do a certificate or diploma course on digital marketing and you can do it along with your studies.

Knowing that he was very happy. Later after 5 years later I met him yesterday on a busy road of Bangalore. I was surprised to see him.

His reaction was also same. First I asked him how he was here. Then he described the whole story. After taking the advice of becoming a digital marketer, he pursued the course along with studies.

After completing his college he got a job as a digital marketer and came to Bangalore. Many juniors of mine asked me how they can become a digital marketer.

But it is impossible for me to explain it to one by one. Rather I thought of a new way. I am writing this content where I will discuss digital marketers. Who are they? What do they do? How much salary did they earn per annum? And many other things.

So, now take a quick survey over what is Digital Marketing ? 

• What is Digital Marketing?

In the time of the Internet, everything is available on the Internet and you can also get a lot of options for everything. You may have seen that many social media influencers and beauty vloggers make lots of videos about many products.

A Digital marketer is a person who handles the whole marketing plan of any product or of accompany. He or She manages the whole scenario of how the product or company should be represented in front of the public eyes.

They are the strategists and move makers. They are essential for any kind of company.

• What Job Does A Digital Marketer Do?

Not only products, but some celebrities and famous people also have digital marketers. But they are known by a little different name which is “social media manager.” They actually help the celebrity or the politician to look good in front of the public eye.

They also design everything for them like the right time to appear or the right way to talk and behave. In the time of controversy, celebrities and politicians take their advice and react according to it.

If you want to open an online shop or business you have to hire a digital marketer. They will help you with promotions and other things such as logos and campaigns. They always try to make a product successful digitally.

If you have a social media account you will see most of the time some celebrity or business owner does live sessions or share their beauty routine or maybe exercise routine.

On the mobile or laptop or computer screen you may see the face of a particular person but in real life, the particular person is controlled by a digital marketer. He or She may show you his or her routine but actually the whole routine stuff is planned by the digital marketer.

They are on behind the scenes. They also create digital contents to keep people updated. They create videos to spread awareness among people. Also some internet campaigns they do.

So, I hope I can make it clear what is the work of the Digital Marketer.

I would say it’s a very good opportunity to start a career in digital marketing. The internet grows every day and if you want to stay updated and want to keep updated people then digital marketing is your job.

It is a great field to work in. Mostly these types of jobs are always corporate jobs. This is a desk job, People will assume that it is a boring job, but what I have said to you before is that it will never be boring to you if you are truly passionate about it.

This field needs a lot of creativity and knowledge. The whole system of digital marketing stands on creativity and originality. Nobody supports piracy here. You should have to make your own content and post it on online platforms.

So, I think I can make you realize how tough this job is but don’t worry you will be successful with the help of creativity and passion.
