Im trying to get leads from sales navigator and contact via cold message on LinkedIn after visiting their profile and doing my research on the client. Such as checking his web and offering him a solution to his low reach and pointing out problems with his web design, seo etc. would this work need guidance if someone did the same or similar as to cold messaging via sales nav. Would love to hear your feedback.

Hello, I’m here to ask some questions and I hope for your help. I am a university student and I’m interested in learning digital marketing in which I have to make digital products on canva? perhaps. Is it necessary to make it as a full time job? or is it ok if I do it as a side hustle. How should I start? Any tips? I don’t have any original products yet but I have some experiences in making designs since I use it for school projects. I still have so many questions but I cannot figure it out yet. I’m really willing to try.

they have asked me to give them at least 10 tasks where i can show any impact. it is so hard because im absoluetly new to marketing and ive no clue what to pick: social media? ads?

they anyway dont give any authority to spend to new hires like me (i am a marketing generalist), so im not sure what exact tasks should i pick that can have any impact on the overall growth of the company.

Hi guys! I recently joined as Data Analyst at a company. It’s extremely small, they are around 20 members now.

The communication is the worst in this company. I mean I couldn’t expect more with a start up. But there was no introduction to the employees in the company. I was only introduced to marketing director and CEO and none of them answering properly for my questions. No data dictionary. Has weird terms for columns. And each of them has different meaning to it. God.

I work with Marketing department majorly. And others is sales etc. Understand the performance of paid channels. There is only marketing director, and ads team who run the ads and these are the two in the department & no body else.

So my first task was to check if the data coming from sources is right given by Marketing director. And I checked the GA4 to compare with CRM and I saw that GA4 was not even set up. Like WTH. And I informed them. To which marketing director mentioned that I need to set it up.

I was wondering if that’s even my job? My job is check the quality of data, clean it, analyse it, report my findings and do a better budget allocation. Why will I sit and set up GA links and tags? I didn’t join as digital marketing specialist/ digital marketing team. Isn’t it the job of marketing director/ person who runs the ads? My role is data analyst and I felt it’s unfair.

So wanted to know your opinion on this?

We have tried a lot of stuff but we neither me nor him know anything about how to do marketing and most services found online are botting or scams so any advice would be helpful. We are also looking to hire people who can create content for the band and market it preferably local to Oregon and portland. Thank you.

Hello beautiful marketers,

I would need a bit of advice here and would love to hear your thoughts on my situation.

A little backstory, I’ve started working as a DM during covid because it felt safe. I learnt what I could and found a good job because the market was favorable. I recently decided to quit because of the industry it was in (adult entertainment).

Now, I want to do something that has a positive impact and was wondering how should I prepare myself for the next step. My title was « digital marketing specialist » but in the end I was more doing project coordination. I dont feel I learned any transferable skills since the usual tools are not really usable in this industry and feel a bit useless in term of marketing. In my situation, what skills would you learn to use the best of my experience?

Thank you

Hi SMMs,

I came across this thread and thought I should ask. I have been an engagement specialist for 2 years, primarily helping social media managers with client engagement. I also have direct clients for both my SMM and engagement services. Everything is going well because I take the time to understand my clients' brands and develop different strategies for their accounts.

My question is: As an SMM, are you okay with someone DMing you to pitch services? Not in a pushy way, but more like introducing their services. Or do you prefer to be the one to message first for services?

I would love to hear your thoughts since we may have different perspectives on this.

Hello. I'm launching a kickstarter with the following process flow.

1. Targeted adverts deployed on Meta >
2. Users driven to landing page on Squarespace >
3. Squarespace landing page has a mailing list sign up button >
4. If user inputs email address this is captured in Squarespace and data synced with Mailchimp audience >
5. User is then auto-redirected to a VIP sign up page on Squarespace >
6. User can click a VIP sign up link and recieve lifetime discount, early bird offers and access to VIP community by placing £10 deposit >
7. If they click sign up they can populate a Stripe checkout page / pay via apple pay with data captured in Stripe (currently not synced back to Mailchimp yet)
8. In Mailchimp we then want a) the Squarespace mailing list sign ups to automatically populate an audience or segment for a standard weekly automated email flow for project updates over 10-12 weeks b) the Stripe VIPs to populate a seperate VIP email flow for project updates

I really need some quick friendly advice if possible on 7 or 8 to find a quick solution. I haven't played around with Mailchimp massively myself, I've handled the Squarespace and Stripe elements whilst my business partner has handled Mailchimp, now we need to hook them up cohesively!

Thank you in advance.

Our marketing person wants to collect emails and use them for email marketing campaigns since we've been testing our new cybersecurity products.

Now as the tech team, we're not sure if this is a smart move.

We think that it might annoy potential clients. They might not be interested in learning about our offering.

Also, none of us really pay attention to marketing emails. It could also potentially violate laws in certain countries (we're not sure if all countries allow marketing emails).

What do you think about all of this? Do you use this kind of strategy? And do people actually read marketing emails? And, most importantly, would you be open to hearing about a startup's proposition related to your services?

Hiya, I just graduated and started working in marketing. Does anyone know a good software or app that can send notifications to teammates to remind them of customer's birthday in advance? Is there an option not including a CRM? Thanks!

I'm seeking to shift from Media Buying & Planning to a role better aligned with my personality, such as influencer marketing (potentially). With my primary experience in traditional media buying and some digital exposure, l believe I possess a solid skill set transferable to influencer marketing or related roles. Can anyone provide guidance on what to emphasize on my resume for an influencer marketing position? Additionally, I'm open to suggestions on other career paths that leverage similar skill sets.

I'm completely new to the concept of virtual phone numbers, but I've heard they're handy for social media verification. Can someone walk me through the basics? How do I get one of these virtual numbers, and once I have it, how do I use it to receive those verification codes for signing up on social media platforms? Any recommendations for reliable services or tips for a beginner like me? Thanks in advance for the help!

Hi, I am working on a project to analyze uninstalls for my company's App which gets about 30M MAU. Can you please suggest what kind of data should I be looking at or give me some direction on how to go about this?

Hi! Just want to start of saying my job was great until this week I got cussed at and yelled at bye my manager for just asking a simple question and it’s stressing me out now I think I am getting fired.

How this relates to digital marketing is that I work for a major food truck company in my state and me and the owner of the company worked together for months teaching each other certain things and investing tons and tons of 12 hours days rebuilding our websites.

We have our main company and another company we started from scratch over this winter. We ended up adding a website to promote each of our trucks in each individual tiny city in the state to make it more faster for people to find our food trucks such as if there was a little city called blank we would duplicate and change all the words from the first page to the tiny city’s name and add three pictures of different places you could host a food truck at and add those locations names and link those to that pictures website. We then used ChatGPT to give us those locations with a 5 sentence long paragraph explaining why it would be a great place to host a food truck there aswell as the physical address in that description aswell. I also did that for all the city’s in another state that would give me 3 locations for a food truck aswell start even another state after that one.

I also updated all the website pages and once them all and watched google search console to see if we had any natural growth and we have been getting double the amount of people reaching out as the previous years for some of our trucks and the rest have had a lot more. I have also created and written blog posts tried to learn how to migrate servers and domain from bluehost to another host aswell as create backup buckets but failed (I don’t know how to code).

But after realizing I might be in trouble at my food truck job I am not sure if I would be able to land any jobs in this or am I way over my head?

Overall I have created/updated in the last 4-5 months over 1400 pages and around 25 blogs spanning over 10 different websites.

How do I promote my OF acct here on Reddit?

Hello everyone! I'm a Chinese who just immigrant to the US recently, I'm trying to find a job but pretty hard for me, I have three years of work experience as a marketing specialist in China, but I don't think this working experience can help me to launch a job in here because I only use Chinese to do marketing before. So I'm considering taking a Google Digital Marketing Certificate, it doesn't need to take much time and will teach me a lot of practical skills, but I'm not sure if it really can help me launch a job here. That's the reason why I came to Reddit to ask more about details, anyone who has marketing experience is welcome to answer, thank you guys a lot!!!

i am working for an influencer and helping out with social media management. the influencer told me that they have significantly less views and engagement on their reels since the instagram account (i believe its a creator account) has been connected to the meta commerce manager in order to set up a shop?

i should now decide wether its worth it or not to delete the shop from her instagram (its not selling that much anyways) and to delete the commerce manager profile in order to get more views again.

has anyone experienced this before or knows more about this?

i really appreciate any help! :)

I’ve just recently went on my own as a freelance digital marketer, however I am struggling with creating a client base. I have quite a few people who say they are interested, however no one has reached out officially. How do you “land a client”?

I originally majored in accounting and hated it but I am looking into marketing. Do I need to have art skills? What goes into marketing in the real world?

I am going back to school to finish my degree and I KNOW I want to do business but I’m having a hard time deciding where to go with it. Marketing seems like a good fit however I have zero art skills and am worried about not being creative enough for the field. What all goes into marketing from a business standpoint? Is there a more statistical, analytical side of marketing? That seems to be what I am good at.

TIA

So, In my last question (1 month back) whether to outreach clients or not at this early stage. I got some responses which gave me some clarity. But it's too tough for to manage my daliy expenses as an intern they're only paying me traveling expenses. So I'm thinking to starting out freelancing on Fiverr or Upwork by doing some small gigs. So that I could manage to get some money. Help in this please.
