Hi MellyGib, after 2020 all my jobs have been remote. A tip would be apply for jobs out of state. For example, my current company is located in Maryland and I live in California.

@@growwithchristine so do you think entry level people like me can get a remote job? And also what course did you complete?

Yes, most entry level digital marketing jobs are remote

@@growwithchristineI really appreciate your replies . I will be contacting you soon to give you good news! You’ve motivated me like you wouldn’t believe. I was down bad but your helped with my classes

@@growwithchristinereally ? I appreciate your answer back , you’re helping more than you’ll know. Where can I find these jobs after I complete my certification course

Hi there! Great question and yes your thought process is correct. You can choose any business whether local or nationwide. However, targeting will be different in each situation like you stated above in your example. As a beginner, a local business targeting one physical address will be easier

Hi there, Thanks for watching! I have portfolio build examples for SEO and social media marketing in my course

@@growwithchristine can you share the link?

Hi there, Happy to help answer your questions~ 1. No, students chose to join Acadium from their own free will. Since Acadium is a helpful platform to get experience as a complete beginner that is why I talk about it in one of my videos but that is as far as it goes. Even if you complete the course, you still need internship experience wherever you can get that from

2. Yes, I have students that graduate straight out of high school or still in high school that have gotten a job or internship in marketing. We use AI as a tool and have not had to worry about loss of jobs. If you check LinkedIn there are still thousands of postings across the US.

@@growwithchristine Thank you so much!

​@@growwithchristine I just purchased your course! I'm very excited to start this new journey. Also, if you want me to delete my original comment to keep your comment section "clean" I don't mind. I hope I didn't sound rude asking you about Arcadium. 😅

You’re very welcome!

That is a great question, but I’m honestly not sure. I believe it depends on each company

Hi! I haven’t used Notion before so I can’t comment

Hi there! If they are US companies, they might mean remote anywhere in just the US. There are laws about working outside of certain countries so this needs to be answered by Google-ing or checking labor laws for specific countries

Agree 😵‍💫😵

Hi, most jobs are remote so yes you can travel

Great to hear, hope all goes well!

Hi! I would not waste time and money on a master’s

Hi there, Yes! Most digital marketing jobs are actually remote/ work from home

Hmm, it depends on how much time you have. Most jobs are full time: 8 hours a day

I didn’t get a degree in marketing. I got this job based on experience

I interviewed in person so I just printed it out and talked about it during interview process. If it’s remote, you can also attach to your resume or job application

Yes, it would be a very helpful first step

Did they explain what was wrong with the portfolio?

@@growwithchristine that’s what she said her name was Andrea Luna Hi Tangie Thanks for showing interest. However, our agency's primary focus is on design, and while we understand that candidates may not have a high level of expertise in their field. yet, we do require certain skills to be demonstrated in the portfolio. Unfortunately, I couldn't find these skills in the projects you've shown. Thank you again for your interest, and I wish you the best in finding a great apprenticeship. But I’m looking more towards digital marketing social media, but I have graphic design experience they told me somebody today at 8 o’clock this morning all the store was learning experience I’m also doing courses for Coursers in digital marketing.

@@tangiechapman6219 It sounds like it might not be a good fit and they know exactly who they are looking for. I'm sure you will find the right apprenticeship if you continue applying. Good luck!

The knowledge especially from the marketing portfolio

Hi there! Yes, it’s possible to still get in entry level without Acadium. I applied with just a portfolio and got my first job that way. I also did freelance marketing work so I put that on my resume. Hope that helps!

Are you taking a course or are you trying to figure it out yourself? I would learn a bit of basics of Google Ads and take the certification. Then work on the portfolio worksheet after having some basic understanding

@@growwithchristine im taking Seth’s course. I have never really done a spreadsheet before so this is my first experience with doing one.

It depends on what type of business you work for . An ad agency will give you more of the creative brainstorm sessions vs a software company. Best Wishes

copywriting _is_ a part of marketing. without copy there would be no marketing campaigns to launch

@vvyenne agree! Copywriting is very essential to marketing

Hi there! Since you already have work experience, I think learning on the job was the best method to increase knowledge

@@growwithchristine thanks for the response! I see a lot of PPC/SEM roles ask for several years of experience, what kinds of ppc roles do you think it’s good for someone that’s done general marketing experience/entrepreneurial projects to apply to? Do you believe it’s possible to find fitting remote roles? (I feel like my case is a bit unique) I saw your statistic about women being less likely to apply vs men if they don’t feel they check all the boxes so I’m having a hard time knowing how to best prepare… also why I truly appreciate your responses 🙏

Hi! First off, are you interested in SEO or PPC or email marketing? Do you know which area you have a bit more experience in even if you job is more general? Second, to find a remote role just apply to companies that are out of state. For example, if you are in California apply to companies that are headquartered in New York. Let me know if that makes sense :)

I saw you’re interested in specifically PPC. In that case, I would brush up on Google ads. Then apply to coordinator or entry level roles. You should have an edge with your general marketing experience. Good luck!

@@growwithchristine thanks for your response… I’m looking to build up my portfolio so I’m reaching out to non profits to help them with their ads… someone reached out to me saying their 10k/mo got approved and I want to make sure as I do this I deliver them with the best results… is there a resource you recommend or would Seth’s course suffice to get started on helping them? I gotta be honest, I wasn’t expecting anyone to respond so soon. Any general tips even would be great

This is just a spreadsheet I made on Google sheets

@@growwithchristine thank you, so it’s not a real ads, you showed what or how you would run the ads, right?

To run actual ads, you need to create a Google Ads account on the Google Ads website and build the ads there

It’s really difficult to get clients unless you’re really well-known or you need to cold call. Another way is to find projects on sites like Upwork or Fiver but you need a good portfolio to get picked

Totally understand! Don’t be afraid to try or don’t be afraid to ask even if you don’t qualify. Hmm I don’t have any courses to reference. It’s not the most helpful advice, but I believe work experience and life experience helped a lot and believing in yourself

@@growwithchristine would you say some companies train you as well? The companies I honestly just knew what I was doing from previous projects … but i wonder what more there is out there that I just don’t know and how to scale up

The Google Ads certificate class that I suggest in my videos are free

@@growwithchristine OK thanks. Are there podcasts and blogs that you follow?

@civivva4501 SearchEngineLand is a good blog website to follow for paid search

Yes, it’s encouraged to make your own business profile for FB ads and make a business email for Google ads as well

@@growwithchristine OK. Thanks. These things might seem obvious to you but I have been out of the office for a few years so the simple things seem daunting. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

There is other info in the course such as building a portfolio, crafting a cover letter/resume, interview questions and how to answer them

I didn’t even know where to start and what certifications to even take etc

@@growwithchristine Thanks for the info. I am trying to decide if I should pay for Seth's course at $800 or the Google course.

You’re very welcome! :)

I just used an imaginary website and you can use a real or fake one. I had to use a fake one due to copyright issues on KZfaq. What matters is showing that you understand how to complete the information on the template

Hm I don’t remember, but around 4 or 5 hours of reading, taking notes, and the test

@@growwithchristine For clarification, did you do the Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce Professional Certificate which has 7 modules or a shorter course? Thanks

This was the Google Ads Search Certification: skillshop.exceedlms.com/student/path/18128-google-ads-search-certification

@@growwithchristine OK thanks

Hi there! Glad you find them helpful! Honestly, I just went through them one by one without previewing. Take it slow and have patience. You’ll get through it eventually even if it seems overwhelming at first :)

Hi! No need to be good at math. We always just look up formulas online and plug in numbers. That is the most math needed. So don’t worry!
