Three years ago I started my own online shop for which I had to manage its accounts through different social media platforms and that's when I started learning different digital marketing strategies. Through the first year I depended solely on self learning videos and articles I have found online which worked perfectly fine at the beginning.
Noticing the progress happened a couple of friends came to me to help with the marketing of their business pages on different social media platforms-mainly Facebook and Instagram- I figured out that I was very passionate about digital marketing and at this point I wondered if self learning is enough or is it about time to start seeking professional help. Having more pages to set strategies and marketing plans for along with the increasing number of followers of my own business page required working on my digital marketing skills and knowledge.
Hence I started looking for online courses that could help me have better digital marketing skills and understand different strategies so that I could work professionally as freelance digital marketer, and that’s when I came across Udacity online course and applied for. I made that post as an announcement to share with you part of my career shift journey and to let you know that very soon I will be accepting digital marketing freelancing gigs.
