What are the Entry Level Requirements for Digital Marketers?

6000 Digital Marketing Remote Jobs Available

I'm working on a super-secret project. It's pretty intensive. It's one of the biggest things I've worked on before. I won't be able to announce it till probably December.

Along the way during this project, I spent a lot of time researching the common requirements for digital marketing rules.

Now obviously, I teach people how to become freelancers, consultants. I'm always looking for people to become more independent, more free, and to do work that they truly.

but sometimes it's not right for people to become in independent business owners right off the bat. You need to gain more experience.

That experience is so, valuable in marketing simply because we don't have access to a lot of paid projects in the beginning, and so we don't really know the cause and effect of our campaigns.

We don't know what works as much. We haven't seen it for ours. So, some people should take some of these remote digital marketing jobs, work with a company, maybe an agency, maybe in house with a brand just stabilize your income.

But get that remote benefit. Get that freedom, that location independence.

While you're doing that, start working on that case study. Start trying to build up your portfolio. You'll have a more.

Natural and frictionless transition into remote work and into your own independent business. So real quick, want to jump into indeed.com. Let's jump over to indeed.com. And I just want you to see what's going on.

And together we can decide like what requirements are needed digital marketing, entry level remote, Let's search.

Let's take off entry level. It's restricting the. Search too much. So, 6,371 jobs. A lot of jobs remote digital marketing jobs. Now some of them are specialist roles, some of them are entry level, some of them are management.

We're going to try and navigate through a few of these postings and just see what people say.

Digital Specialist

Like even for this very first one, digital specialist, like what's a specialist anymore? Let's see what they're looking for. First of all, 60 k a year remote reports to digital director full.

Primary responsibilities include publishing content to the website, monitoring and responding to email and social media inquiries, data management and assisting in development of video, graphic blog and social media content.

So, website content creation, content publish. Social media didn't say anything about paid ads.

Didn't say much about SEO. $60,000. I teach all of this in my master class. I think that's pretty crazy that you could take like a 300, $400 class study this stuff and be capable of getting a remote 60k job Like to me, amazing thing that we have this available to us.

So that's just one posting. Let's look at another one.

Let's look at digital marketing strategist. What does these people think is a strategy, right?

Doesn't say the salary, says remote responsibilities. Work with a client success manager to understand goals and reporting, run targeted video ad campaigns across Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, and YouTube. Monitor track data, work with the creative team.

That's very narrow scope. You're just doing video ad campaigns. Yes. You're using multiple channels.

It's not that overwhelming. It's a great remote role. What else do we have here?

Social Media and Freelance Partner

Social media and digital marketing freelance partner. Interesting. That might be nice for some of you, USA based only. Sorry about that.

Doesn't have a lot of info. Here we go. Experience with some or one of the following, Facebook, Instagram consulting, PPC, social media, etc.

Okay, let's keep going here. Social media specialists, special projects at Yelp. So, you could go work at Yelp and make 60 to a hundred K end-to-end brand campaign management.

We talk about that as being full stack marketers, the power of being able to work on end-to-end campaigns, full stack ideation, social media, content calendar.

I cover all of that in content maximizer, influencer marketing this is pretty straightforward. It's a bit of a grind doing a lot of outreaches, finding out how much people charge content planning, designing social media assets Photoshop in and out.

You can edit reels in record time. So certainly, a more high-end content role, not for a beginner per se, but still, it's not that crazy.

As far as the skill set is really required, like you could learn this in less than a year and get into these entry level id roles let's just take a look at this and let's, talk about the elephant in the room.

Do you need a degree?

Do you need a degree for these roles? They often request them, but if your skills are on point, if you have any sort of portfolio or proof, you're going to bypass this, must have influencer marketing experience.

Sure, great. You need to have that, but if you have that, they're probably going to overlook this bachelor's degree.

So, as you can see there's, a lot available here in terms of opportunity and a pretty narrow scope of work under the umbrella of digital marketing.

Here we have email, social media. We saw specialists, manager, content. So, it really boils down to those key elements. If you want to just look at them in a slide format, here's what you should focus on if you're going for these entry level roles.

Content creation, content distribution, aka so social media, optimizing a website for SEO, creating email campaigns, creating advertising campaigns.

Those are the five things. That you should learn and spend most of your time on. And I cover 98% of what's here in my masterclass because I knew this already before.

Even looking at these job postings, what is required in the modern digital marketing resource mix, it's still a trafficking conversions game.

What do the companies need?

And most companies have narrowed down their conversion pathway. They're not going to be able to change it that much. So, for them it's just more and more traffic.

The revenue is going to be a direct function of traffic and so, many companies need you to create and distribute. So many companies need SEO.

So many companies need email, Ads, all of this drives traffic and this is the marketer's core responsibility.

If you are looking for a remote role, I will have some news for you in about six to eight weeks.

Hang tight with me with this channel while I work through this massive project. And as we ring in the new year 2023, I'll have a ton of new content.
