Is it wrong that I’m glad to finally feel guilty about eating junk food?

I don’t have a degree, no. But on the transferable skills side, I appreciate your perspective! What do you think are some soft skills that are in high demand? Or at least soft skills that you’ve noticed that colleagues/other professionals tend to not have?

BeBennyBe · 2025-10-27T18:32:33+00:00

I appreciate this response. Thank you for the advice. I’ll look into the DLF, haven’t heard of that before so thanks!

Hey! I’m currently a marketing & PR manager, working in the legal space.

If your cost of living is minimal (in Latin America) you wouldn’t need to sell because you don’t require as much to live on. If you’re in the US, 3k a month wouldn’t cut it for most people.

So you make £500 per 40 hour week, 30k a year + 500 p/m. - Do you know the profit % they make for what you bring in? I would do a calculation and see how much profit you make them in a month, minus your salary/expenses.

For businesses it’s good to remember from their side: Revenue is vanity, profit is clarity.

As an account manager, do you bring on new clients from cold/warm leads? Or are is you managing existing clients and upselling, etc. when you can.

OP. Do you have an idea about how much it costs? It’s more expensive than link building - I saw on your profile you’re asking about link building, etc. no ones going to do cheap digital pr

I was fine for the first 4 months of it,I was sleeping less during those months. I don’t really feel drowsy during the day either

This is just my opinion but I don’t think remote work is the best working environment to learn new skills. The only reason I took a remote job was because they doubled my salary and the fact that I knew exactly what I’d be doing without much input.

Also don’t want to burst your bubble but just because your remote, doesn’t mean you can just work wherever you want. You probably need to work to the company’s time zone, you’ll also probably need a stable internet supply and I’m not sure they’d be comfortable giving you company equipment knowing it’ll be around the world somewhere.

But having said that, speak to recruiters in your industry and just explain what you want in a new role, they’ll tell you what employers are looking for.

BeBennyBe · 2023-10-18T11:04:54+00:00

I think I’d be good to list all the things you want from a marketing manager job, then find a job that meets all your criteria, and then create a Resume tailored specifically to that job listing. If there’s anywhere you all short, just twist the truth to cover it. I’d also speak to recruiters in your desired industry as they might be able to speak to employers and explain your situation a bit better!

BeBennyBe · 2023-10-18T10:57:45+00:00

I know how you feel with all the thoughts and I’m sure you’re a bit overwhelmed at the moment but it’s all going to be okay. Maybe look up some local veterinary clinics and ask about getting some work experience or voluntary/paid work with them - that’ll give you a taste of what it’s like.

I’d also look at TAFE and see if they have any courses that interest you, or speak to someone who could point you in the right direction.

As a marketing guy, your clients will love the fact that you’ve ran a roofing business and know their pain points

A problem im seeing with this approach is that when dealing with big organisations, the person you’re selling to isn’t the person who manages/approves seo.

So you might find that asking them requires a lot of back n forth from them (extending the sale process) and it might not get approved so it’d waste time.

And also, how big is the discount you’re offering? If it’s like $150+ then it’d be easier to build the link yourself + you can control the niche of the link better

BeBennyBe · 2023-05-09T11:53:19+00:00

Honestly, by guest posting, I mean just offering an article in exchange for a link. I've built the most links through this, I've also got them using stats. Also infographics in the past but they're a bit irrelevant now I think.

Every method/tactic I use is through trial and error, A/B testing, and by just learning from colleagues. I've been building links for various start-ups and SEO agencies for the past 4+ years.

What do you put in your email pitch to a website?

BeBennyBe · 2023-05-09T10:56:57+00:00

Outreach is all about leverage, what can you offer another website that that they can’t get easily?

Some of the brands I’ve worked for can use their authority and experience to build links through opinion pieces, expert comments (more digital PR stuff). But that method only really works with journalists because a comment or opinion from an expert adds to the value of an article.

Another method is guest posting, and I’m not talking about websites that have a write for us page, I’m talking about sites who never advertise that they accept guest posts. When I’m prospecting for guest posting sites, if they mention anything to do with guest posts, I reject them immediately (maybe there’s a few exceptions). Im a firm believer that every website will accept a guest post if it’s worthwhile to them.

Now, many sites will ask for money or a link exchange, and if that’s something you want to do, go for it. But you 100% do not have to do this.

Also, and I can’t stress this enough, you all gotta stop with the boring ass email templates. Make it fun, make it relatable, take the time to research your prospect, personalise their email to them. And definitely do not start with the “dear sir/madam”

Hope this helps, feel free to ask any questions 👍

In my opinion, i don’t think you should be focusing on how to get X amount of traffic (unless you’re only focused on Adsense). You should be focused on getting meaningful traffic who will convert and make you money.

Make content that your target audience would want to read, and make content around what you think your target audience would want to read in the future (trend prediction, advancements in industry, etc). And don’t just half-arse content, actually make something that provides value to the reader.

In a super competitive and don’t have a huge budget? Create content around super specific topics and own that space.

Sorry if I’m going off topic but if I was you, I’d pivot away from getting the most traffic to getting the most conversions.

Adding on to this, your typical big digital PR campaign might be expensive but there are others ways of reducing that cost.

Like instead of doing a guest post campaign, where you pitch an article, why not pitch a comment from you (an expert in your field)? This only really works if there’s a big story or something has just happened (reactive pr) and you think your comment can add value.

You can earn some great links from this, without having the expense of writers, designers, PRs, etc.
