5 Ways to Boost Your Career in Digital Marketing

August 26, 2021 by Tim McMahon

Digital marketing is currently one of the fastest-paced industries out there and has become an increasingly popular career choice over the last few decades. With the last year showing us that the internet, online shopping, and remote access to the things we need are crucial to modern life, digital marketing is busier and bigger than ever before. But like any line of work, if you want to be successful, you need to work hard and set yourself apart from everyone else in the industry.

The world of digital marketing is unrelenting and so if you want to do well, you need to be determined too. To give you a few ideas, we have put together this informative guide on ways that you can develop your own skills and experience and boost your career in digital marketing.

Keep Learning and Advancing Your Digital Marketing Skill Set

With more people than ever before graduating from university, it is no longer enough to simply have a degree. Instead, you need to show that not only do you know how to use it but that you are keen to keep learning and advancing your skillset. The good thing is that there is a whole range of digital marketing courses and programs online that you can do in your free time around your other commitments. Many professionals are using online courses to help develop their skills and boost their careers.

Stay Updated on Latest Trends

Digital marketing is constantly changing and developing, and common practices can change quickly as new data and insight is gathered. Therefore, if you want to boost your career, you need to take the time to keep up to date on the latest trends. A lot of digital marketing relies on social media and Google’s algorithm. Therefore, you need to be in the know if there is an update or change of policy on these platforms. Once you have this knowledge and can pair it with your existing expertise on customer experience, industry news, and sales strategy, you will be unstoppable. Understanding how new trends are going to affect your company or your clients is a great way to show off your skills and provide the best outcomes.

Create Your Own Digital Presence

When hiring a new member of staff, many employers now turn to social media to check out their prospective employees. While this is standard practice for most industries, this is, even more, the case in digital marketing. As a digital marketer, you are an expert at creating an online presence for your company or clients, so what better way to showcase this than by creating your own digital presence? Therefore, it is important that you are as present online as possible, and your potential future employer has no difficulties in finding you.

There are a range of platforms that you can use to start your digital presence, such as Twitter, Linkedin, and Instagram. Most professionals use Facebook for personal use but remember that employers may still go looking for you there, so be sure to not post anything you wouldn’t like them to see.

Developing your own LinkedIn profile isn’t only a great way to showcase your achievements, qualifications, and experience online; it also provides you with the opportunity to show who you are as a person and help others in their career. Remember that everything needs to be polished and perfect when it comes to your digital presence, from your bio to your photo. This is your chance to make a great first impression.

Understand Data

Depending on your area of expertise when it comes to digital marketing, you may not be as familiar with the data that is often involved. While of course numbers aren’t everyone’s strong suit, being able to prove to your clients that they have seen a return on their investment can help build relationships and gain you a great reputation. Therefore, you need to get your head around the data that exists with any digital marketing campaign or strategy, so that you can present data-driven conclusions in reports.

If understanding data isn’t something that you feel overly confident with, then do not panic. There are a range of courses available online that will teach you everything you need to know. Being able to use analytics in your daily work as a digital marketer will set you apart from everyone else and show just how effective and successful your work is.

Do Some Networking

We have all heard the phrase, ‘it’s not what you know, it’s who you know’, and even though it is crucial that you know your stuff, knowing the right people can also offer added benefits. While some people may have natural connections due to family, this doesn’t mean that you can’t get some valuable connections yourself.

Networking is one of the most useful tools available to you, and the great thing about it is that you don’t even need to leave your home to do it. While of course, it is better if you can head down to some conferences and event days where you will meet other digital marketing companies and professionals, even just doing your research online and connecting with them virtually on LinkedIn can make a huge difference. But it is important to remember that networking isn’t something that you do for a few weeks and then never bother with again. Instead, you need to keep up to date with those in the industry and make the effort to get to know people and help them get to know you.

With the help of online courses, social media platforms, and your own dedication and hard work you can boost your career in digital marketing, take it to the next level, and reap the benefits of a strong and successful career.
