I’m coming out of veterinary medicine….. I’ve decided to switch to digital marketing. Zero experience. Zero education. I’ve started researching, KZfaq, practicing on my own with small projects. I will be that 1%. ❤ thanks for the advice.

Dude your videos have been so good and educational. I'm transitioning out of the Air Force after 5 years and have been really lost on what I want to pursue. Currently working on getting an IT certification, but I think I am more interested in pursuing something in marketing because I love being able to network and talk to people. I have some family members that work in the marketing field and I've become super interested in it after hearing some of the things they do. One area I've discovered (not entirely sure if it is considered marketing) that I like is something to the effect of a digital content manager. I'll continue to watch your videos for more inspiration!

Excited to watch this! Love your setup and how you carry the content presentation in this video Alif!

I can't tell you how happy I am to have stumbled upon this video. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Alif. You can't imagine how refreshing it is to see someone in the Digital Marketing industry, where everything is behind a paid door or a video next video to the following video with no goal. I genuinely love the freaking excellent way you made (us) me go along in the video to develop new solutions in my life. Entrepreneur, Worker, this is gold in the industry. Will share it with all my friends so they can give you support in the channel, AMAZING

I'll be honest with you, I saw this video was 21min long so I got reluctant to watch it. Started on 2x accelerated speed but then I noticed some quality in it and dropped down to normal speed. I watched the whole 21min and it's just a piece of gold right here. Thanks for the advice. I'm looking for a job in Toronto now. I have all my experience in digital marketing in a different language so I don't really have a portfolio in English to show off to employers which was making me really nervous and making me feel underqualified. But now I see a path. Thanks for that.

It's always the small acount KZfaqrs with the most value. I normally skip through videos just to get to the point but I will genuinely say that i watched every single second of this video. Thank you for this! Just became a subscriber.

In the same position myself and this video is extremely helpful and makes me hopeful! You've given me some more directions to explore when I thought I had exhausted them all... THANKYOU!

mans underrated!!! outstanding video bro The presentation skills the energy in your speech I love it

How does this video only have 1000 views?!? This channel really is a hidden gem! I definitely subscribed and will be watching all the videos 😀

Thanks for sharing your story. It's extremely helpful knowing that it's never too late to make that switch and pursue new opportunities.

Golden nuggets!!!! Enjoyed learning how your problem solving thought process was like.

thanks a lot for making this video. im currently working on a digital marketing certificate through google and was trying to figure out what to do next. this is a great way to get your foot in the door and build connections your self. i will definitely be following this advice!

Great video! Great personality! Keep doing your thing bro 👊🏻

I absolutely love your go getter attitude and fun personality. I am new to digital marketing and this helped me so much. I had to become a new subscriber 😊😊

Wow this is awesome! I've been wanting to get into digital marketing and have been thinking I'd need to go back to school for a marketing degree. I got my bachelor's in psychology last year and when you said that was major too I was like this video was meant for me! It is cool to see how you broke into marketing step by step, it goes to show what is possible through perseverance. I am in the 1% that will follow this advice💯

Such a great video! Thank you Alif!!

Great content, i dont understand how u have only 500 sucribers, im sure this channel will grow so much next months. Keep crushing it mate

Great video! I really like how you gave practical advice and walked us through the process. Thanks, from a fellow Psyc Grad switching industries

I'M GOING TO DO EXACTLY THIS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you very much for sharing your experience!

Thank youuuuuuu for sharing this 😍 I'm on the same path to becoming a content marketing specialist. I have BA in electronics engineering and telecommunications but I just fell in love with marketing 🙂🥰

Absolute gold , thank you so much for this video!! It really inspired me, and opened my eyes to the fact that there are multiple ways to get opportunities ❤

Fantastic video man, very specific to what you did but very helpful!

I love this video so much!!!!❤❤❤❤❤thank you for sharing. So inspiring 🥳🥳

Dude your videos are Amazing !!! Deserve more subs !!

very interesting video! you actually kinda inspired me to also start a channel lol:) keep up the good work man!

Hi Alif, thank you for your video, it was actually pretty insightful. I've just started developing my copywriting skills and in the future I'll try to get into Digital Marketing as well, I'll keep your video in mind when trying to land a job.

Congratulations Alif, Well done. For your age, you are a great advisor and employment specialist man.

Man this was so helpful for me in how to take my next step. I was a real estate agent, interest rates destroyed my business, before that I was studying seo and web development… I’m going to make the change.

Subscribed, this video was just so insightful.

We're the same year! I'm also class of 2017, looking to enter marketing, it's a grind since I have little experience here, thanks for sharing your insight!

Great advice. thanks for sharing. will give it a shot

This video aged pretty well im 19 and job search and looking for a job that really fits my motivations in life and I found out about digital marketing and I was like wow this really could be the answer to what I'm looking for so I started looking for ways to get started and found this video and you make a lot of finite points like not being the center of attention and making the person feel accomplished enough to share their advice and still keeping them in touch to let feel like they really helped therefore keeping a good connection with showing you really were listening and not using this video taught me a lot thx man

This is amazing! Great initiative and really informative vid.

😮did not expect to leave so inspired

Thank you so much for this amazing video. I am also from Toronto and looking for a job in marketing. I find your points super valid and helpful, definitely will try the strategy. Thank you for breaking down in details how to talk to people on LinkedIn, that is literally smth that always confused me. Going to update when I land the job😊

Very good strategy, keep it up

wonderful step to step process ty very much

Thank you for this! Super helpful content - You found yourself a new subscriber! 🎉😅

Hey! I loved this video, im also transitioning from Psychology to Marketing and plan on recreating this process!! I’d love to see a video discussing some of those key words you used in your linked in profile to help with recruitment 😊

Thank you so much for this guidance!

this is a great video, thank you very much! great strategy too (shows psychology study was pivotal to figuring it out :) )

This is not only an advice for newbie digital marketers. This is for everyone who wants to get a good career on other fields as well. Thank you for making video!

Teach us more, you are such an inspiration ❤

bro this lit🔥, Digital marketers who make videos only to sell their content in the end, you are the one who cares about others to grow with legit strategies.... I started to implement things by watching your videos, mail, rn I am writing content for free to develop skills and am excited to try this strategy for sure and let you know... Thank you for sharing this👌

This video was so helpful. I hope to break into digital marketing. I start a digital marketing bootcamp next month. 👌🏾

You are speaking to me right now 🙏🏿❤

man, that's really good.

Glad that I watched this video it was very informative! Going to apply to some Digital marketing positions right now I will definitely give you an update on how it goes!

This video was very informative! I graduated with a marketing degree in December and I’ve been spending months trying to land a marketing job. I’ve written dozens of cover letters and emails but haven’t even landed a single marketing interview. I started pursuing a sales career instead because of this. I gave up because I thought I tried everything. I hope that I can find something with these tactics

Very useful video 🔥🔥 simple and easy to understand ❤️ Thanks for sharing ❤️

This is so helpful Thank you!

i have no experience but i think i can make it, because of your video alif, thanks a bunch!

I'm doing this in bulk till I'm out of construction and in a remote, full-time marketing position. Thank you.

Hi Alif, thank you for sharing this information, i have a diploma in business administration but recently fell in love with digital marketing and i found this video really helpful with my career goal. But before you decided to pursue a career in digital marketing, did you take the time to study digital marketing and maybe get a certificate?

Awesome video!

W Sales!

great video sharing - interesting enough i have come across some digital marketers whose background wasnt in marketing. i studied accounting and corp finance and ended up in digital marketing- i think main thing is the hunger to learn and grow, and imho understanding the psychology of customers that makes them buy a product or fill up a lead form

Hey man great video dude. But how did you prepare for the presentation on your application? Where did you get the knowledge to correct their website landing page?

This is such a valuable video!!

Thank you ❤️

I have a marketing degree but no experience or any clue of what the actual day to day tasks are. College didn’t teach me any of that! Wanting to get into marketing so your videos are helping me understand a little bit more of what I’ll be doing

please do more digital marketing content !

This is awesome

Amazing bro

Hi Alif! I'm back watching this video again. I've been taking your advice and getting a few interviews but have yet to land a job. Do you think this strategy still works in 2023? Is there anything else I could add to make me stand out even more from the crowd of applicants now? Love your content! Thanks for sharing the advice!

Collaborating with other KZfaqrs or influencers in your niche can be a great way to expand your reach and build your brand on KZfaq.

amazing video

Super useful video. Curious though, with no experience how did you know what to suggest in your 20m video?

thank you

Hey Alif, Great video, I live in Toronto as well, about a 10 min drive from York University :P Had a couple of questions: 1. You mentioned having a side project that you can put on your resume using marketing terminology - how important is it that you achieve quantifiable results with this project? (I.e. If I run a blog, is it enough to say I can copy write, write creatively, optimize my titles for SEO, etc. or do I need to have a certain search engine rank on Google, certain amount of traffic, and / or a certain number of social media followers in order to be taken seriously by agencies?) Are results as important as having the experience? 2. Related to the above question, did you create a portfolio showcasing your work in addition to that 20 min video you made? What sorts of pieces did you include in your portfolio? 3. When starting out, do you recommend focusing on just one area (i.e. SEO, copy writing, or paid ads) and mastering that, or do you recommend becoming a jack of all trades? 4. Do you have any experience with Acadium? Sometimes it’s difficult to obtain internships unless your a student… curious if you’ve had any experience with them in order to build up that resume and portfolio? Any advice you have in addition to this video would be great, I really like your strategy… want to follow you as much as possible :P Thanks again!

This video is GOLLLLDDDDD!!

Thank you for this video ı found some features in this video which are like my sutiation and this video gave me motivation for chasimg my carear dream.Can ı ask you something whixh field is the best field for this job ıf you would not choose your current field what would ıt be ?

I think i findout my mentor

how exactly did you know hot to optimise a landing page? I'm struggling to get started with educating myself on marketing tools and concepts. I have studied psychology but have no experience in marketing

Hey, I was looking to follow in your footsteps and looked up some marketing agencies and all their employees are linkedin members and i am unable to contact them, any workaround to this?

Hi, I have a Shopify website selling stuff and previous image/video ads for fb ads in Canva, do you think these can be some kind of portfolio to show to future employers?

Do you think I can find a job in a small company as social media manager without formal degree or schooling? I'm thinking about stopping studying communication and dedicating myself 100% to studying marketing through online courses to work at a company in the United States, I need advice

How did you know how to optimise the landing page copy though without any training or experience? I think this is great but you must have already had SOME experience in order to effectively do that!

❤🎉

but what if I didn't go to college and get a bachelor's? or an assotiates? How can I still have a career in marketing?

hello sir, I really want to get a job in digital marketing, I have achieved the google professional certification in digital marketing and e-commerce. but the problem is that I am 17 and in pakistan. So, that is a really huge problem as nor agencies nor companies are willing to hire me, due to these two reasons. Any Advice will be helpful.

Question, you did all that to get to Candybox but stayed for only 5 months ? Why?

Hi, bro are you from Bangladesh?

But how did u learn digital marketing in the first place ? How did u prepare for the interview? How did u start working without any prior experience?

imagine the reaction of mahfuz to this video

You know what your biggest advantage was? Being in a Western country in the first place.

Alif you are motivating me like crazy, this video is the first video that makes me feel like I can do it in this reality. Thank You 🤍

First of all thank you so much for inspiring us & secondly I m gonna find you out on LinkedIn to apply same process on you 😂😂

Thank You for sharing this. You have no idea how much this video inspired me.
