Digital marketing is a growing industry that needs skilled professionals. A specific degree isn’t necessarily required to get into the profession, just the willingness to acquire the digital marketing skills needed.
Here are four tips to help you make a successful career change into digital marketing:
1. Assess your skills
Do you have skills in social media, writing, or web design? Are you passionate about the mobile experience or E-commerce? Are you fascinated by digital audiences, analytics, or marketing strategies?
2. Do your research
Which of your skills and interests can be applied to digital marketing? There are so many things you can specialize in when you go into digital marketing, which is part of what keeps it so interesting and why pretty much anyone can find a path in this area. There’s a good chance that you can find a digital marketing specialization that fits your passions.
