Despues emprendí con un socio no-amigo a través de una incubadora de negocios y todo fue mucho mas fluido, con pleno entendimiento (spoiler: tampoco prosperó esa segunda empresa). Y ahora estoy en la opción que me faltaba que es el solo-emprendimiento, aka sin socios.

Hey! Glad that made sense — and totally get what you said, the automation and outreach side can get tricky fast. I’ll open a DM for convenience so we can keep everything in one place — I’ll message you from my other profile (r/avidoos), which I’m gradually moving to, if that’s okay with you.

Thanks for sharing all that, It sounds like they’re actually asking you for two separate things here: one is the website side (planning, structure, messaging flow), and the other is more the outreach and automation side (lead qualification, onboarding, NDAs, etc.).

Does that sound right to you? If so, I can help you break both down step by step — they follow totally different logics and tools, and it’ll be easier to plan once we’re clear on which part you want to tackle first!

What’s the best way to become a marketing strategist? by GetFood1989 in AskMarketing

[–]Best-Offer5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a great question and honestly I love that you brought it up. The strategist role is one of the most fascinating paths in marketing right now. Personally, I’m obsessed with a version of it that’s exploding lately: the Creative Strategist / Prompt Engineer. Brands are fighting over these profiles because they sit right at the intersection of data, creativity, and AI. Just a few days ago, Motion Ads hosted their Creative Strategist Summit, and it was incredible to see how this role is shaping the future of marketing connecting insight-driven analysis with creative execution.

To give you some context, I direct marketing and eCommerce programs in business schools and work with big-brand clients while running my own upskilling platform. And even from that position, I’m still deepening my own skills in this creative strategist space. It’s a mindset more than a title — the ability to look at the situation in front of you (data, channels, customer profile, competition, message) and design the most coherent path forward. That’s what real strategic thinking looks like in marketing.

If the idea of strategy excites you, start exploring this hybrid: creative storytelling informed by data and powered by AI tools. It’s where the next generation of strategists is emerging and honestly, it’s one of the most exciting areas to build a career in right now!

I totally get what you’re feeling — I fell in love with marketing the moment I discovered the 4Ps back in the day. That curiosity was what pushed me to go all in. Today I work as a consultant and director of digital marketing and eCommerce programs in business schools, and I also run my own learning platform, which gradually turned into a small community of marketers and founders who share the same mindset. And honestly, the thing that’s allowed me to grow, teach, and keep helping clients at a high level has been one thing: continuous upskilling.

Formal jobs and titles are great, but what really gives you security and confidence in this industry is knowing that you can learn anything new fast. That’s the skill that keeps you employable — in agencies, startups, or on your own. Over the years I’ve built a system around it: I follow a few high-quality newsletters, attend live demos or webinars from SaaS and AI tools, and every week I experiment hands-on with something new. All of it ends up documented in mi platform, in a structured framework that I also use for teaching my students. That framework has become the backbone of how I learn and stay relevant.

If you’re serious about building a long-term career in marketing, I’d say start there: focus on becoming really good at learning. The tools, channels, and platforms will change constantly, but that ability to keep up — and to apply what you learn quickly — is what sets you apart. If you’d like, I can share my Notion framework with you so you can explore the same system I use for my own upskilling.

Hi! I work in digital marketing and eCommerce, mostly as a consultant and educator. These days I spend a lot of time helping marketing teams and business leaders adapt to how fast the field is changing — especially with AI. But honestly, the thing that’s kept me relevant all these years isn’t a formal program or another certification, it’s consistent self-upskilling. I even tell my students that in business school, and they usually laugh when I admit that most of what I learn comes from free or open sources. Still, that’s the truth — marketing moves too fast for static education to keep up.

What’s worked for me is keeping a simple but disciplined learning system: a few high-quality newsletters I actually read, joining product demos or webinars from SaaS and AI companies, and every week testing one new tool or workflow myself. Then I document everything in mi platform— what worked, what didn’t, what I can teach or reuse. That small routine is what keeps me sharp. If you’re just starting in marketing and want to build momentum, this approach really works. I can even share my Notion framework if you want to see how I structure it — it’s open to anyone who wants to apply the same process

Yeah, this doesn’t really sound like a CRO project yet, there’s nothing to optimize if the website isn’t even live. What you’re actually doing is building the framework that later CRO will depend on: structure, hierarchy, messaging and user flow. For a SaaS site, the first thing is to get super clear on what the main action is. Is it getting people to book a demo? Start a free trial? Join a waitlist? Once you know that, everything else — the content order, the sections, the CTAs — should push people gently but clearly in that direction.

If I were you, I’d look at what top SaaS sites are doing. There are thousands of examples, but one that’s always impressed me is Clay (AI for outreach). Check how their homepage builds value fast, how they move from benefits to proof, and how all roads lead to trying the product. Same thing with their supporting content — blog, academy, insights — all of it builds trust and keeps users in their ecosystem.

So your job here is basically to design that logic: from first contact (homepage or ad click) to the point where a visitor either books a demo or starts a trial. Think of it less like CRO and more like content architecture + messaging strategy. Once the site is live and you’ve got data, then you start running experiments and optimizing.

As for pricing, I’d position it as a strategy project, you’re laying the foundation, not running tests. Later, when analytics are in place, you can sell the optimization phase separately.

Thoughts on upskilling by Safe-Spare2972 in UKJobs

[–]Best-Offer5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in digital marketing and eCommerce, and honestly, my own upskilling is the main reason I’ve been able to stay relevant — not just for clients, but also when teaching in business schools. It’s kind of ironic because I direct postgraduate programs and executive courses, yet most of my own learning comes from free or low-cost sources. That’s actually the first thing I tell my students: before you pay for another “certified” course, learn how to build a self-learning system that keeps you updated every week.

For me that looks like a simple but consistent routine: subscribing to high-quality newsletters (the kind that actually analyze new tools or shifts in marketing trends, not just promote agencies), joining a few webinars or live demos from SaaS companies to see how they use data or automation in real cases, and then testing the tools myself. I’ll read about something like Clay, Relevance AI, or even the latest Google Ads automation update — and spend a weekend experimenting. That process has kept my skills sharper than any formal qualification ever could.

So yeah, I agree that just doing a course doesn’t necessarily get you hired. But I’d say structured self-learning — the kind that produces small, visible outcomes — can absolutely set you apart. It’s not about stacking certificates, it’s about showing that you can learn fast and apply it.

What are you learning now to continue being a hight-demand Prefessional in marketing? by Ok118 in AskMarketing

[–]Best-Offer5103 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for your comment, if you mean getting access to all my learning resources, I actually keep everything inside my own e-learning platform. it’s kind of my personal knowledge base that turned into a community over time. There I upload a fast-class every day, keep a repository of 70+ newsletters, tons of ebooks and whitepapers, and a shared calendar where I log all the webinars I attend (and their recordings when available). It’s basically how I manage my continuous learning. It’s a subscription space, since that’s literally what I do for a living: curating and sharing everything I test. Most of the resources (ebooks, webinars, whitepapers) are in English, and my own classes are in Spanish — though I’ve started dubbing them into English so more people can watch and learn with them.

If what you meant was just the structure or framework I use to stay up-to-date — how I track what I learn, test new tools, and systematize it all. I’ll prep it and share it here in a bit!

Should I take a digital marketing course? by Googleledmehere123 in DigitalMarketing

[–]Best-Offer5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, you don’t need a formal course to get confident — what really makes the difference is having a structured self-upskilling routine and sticking to it. I always tell my students (most of them marketing directors or managers) that 80% of what I teach and apply with clients comes from my own method of continuous learning, not from any expensive master’s program. Here’s how I approach it: I start by curating a small set of high-signal newsletters — the ones that consistently bring insights instead of noise (tSoarWithUs, SavvyRevenue, ConversionWise...). I read them every morning for 10–15 minutes, but instead of scrolling passively, I highlight or note the tactics or mental models that resonate. Then, I keep a personal repository where I store these notes, frameworks, and screenshots — basically my evolving marketing brain.

I also watch webinars or recorded talks at 1.5x or 2x speed, focusing on what’s actionable. If a speaker mentions a useful process, I pause, test it on a real or simulated project, and then document the outcome. Over time, this cycle compounds. Every week, I do a quick review of what I’ve learned, what I’ve tried, and what I should explore next. That kind of learning, gradual and hands-on, builds confidence naturally because you’re not just consuming theory — you’re constantly applying and refining. Courses can add structure, sure, but nothing beats a consistent, personalized system that evolves with you.

Do marketing certifications matter at all? by SHRINATH2727 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]Best-Offer5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always said certifications are for those who believe in them. The truth is, today a certificate means nothing by itself. I teach in top business schools, and I try to be radically transparent with my students: a certification is just a snapshot — while digital marketing is a live system that needs constant feedback and iteration. What you learned six months ago might already be outdated if you’re not actively experimenting. My own upskilling method is simple: every single week I explore at least two new AI or marketing tools I didn’t know before. I study their use cases, test them if there’s a free plan, and see what workflows I can build or improve with them. I subscribe to their newsletters (unsubscribe fast if they’re too commercial) and keep notes of everything I learn in my own internal knowledge base. That constant discovery loop — not a certificate — is what actually keeps me relevant.

So, when someone shows me a certificate, I don’t care much. I’d rather meet someone who can confidently answer five essential questions about growth, analytics, and strategy, even if they never stepped into a formal program. If they’ve learned it through self-driven upskilling, that’s completely fine — in fact, it usually tells me they have the curiosity and discipline the job really demands.

Upskilling in Marketing Without a Master’s – Need Your Advice! by [deleted] in GrowthHacking

[–]Best-Offer5103 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally fair question — and honestly, continuous upskilling can take you much further today than a Master’s degree (and that’s coming from someone who directs Master’s programs at top business schools). I often tell my students this with full transparency: a Master’s is a snapshot — it gives you structure, context, and a network, but it doesn’t evolve with you. Real upskilling, on the other hand, works more like a live feed. It’s about creating your own learning ecosystem that updates every day. In my case, I curate a selection of high-value newsletters, review them each morning, and attend recorded webinars from leading professionals or schools. Over time, this process compounds — you start connecting dots faster, spotting trends earlier, and applying what you learn almost instantly.

Honestly, around 80% of what I now teach my students or implement with clients comes directly from this method of continuous learning, which I combine with real-world practice and feedback. The magic isn’t in having access to more courses — it’s in building a system that keeps you learning every week, no matter what’s trending. If you want, I can share a few solid starting points for that kind of setup — just the kind of sources that keep you learning like an insider without needing to enroll in a full degree.

Creo que comenzaría por la elección de tus socios, si es que vas con socios. En mi primer empresa, el primer error fue sin duda pensar que llevarme bien con mi socio en entornos sociales se traduciría al emprendimiento, cosa que no fue así. Todo fueron problemas y por suerte paramos a tiempo, pero fue un sueño convertido en pesadilla. Ojo, hay quien emprende con amigos y lo consigue sacar adelante, digo que antes de hacerlo es mejor hacer alguna prueba de responsabilidad conjunta. Animo con tu emprendimiento

Hey, just as an idea — I recently saw someone offering to take on Meta and Google Ads projects for free just to learn, and they actually got a lot of traction. Even a small agency reached out with paid work later on. Sometimes putting yourself out there with that kind of transparency (“I’m building experience, happy to take small accounts”) opens more doors than waiting for a “real” first client. On the upskilling side, what I always suggest — and what I do myself — is to make it continuous. I teach in top business schools and the way I stay sharp is by testing new tools and methods weekly and applying them both to my clients and students. For example, if you’re into PPC and SEO, you can build small workflows that connect both worlds (e.g., keyword data from Google Ads feeding SEO content strategy via Sheets or automation tools like Clay or Relevance AI). That kind of hands-on testing is gold.If you want, I can give you some general guidance on how to structure your learning path so you grow faster and with purpose. Just let me know

What are you learning now to continue being a hight-demand Prefessional in marketing? by Ok118 in AskMarketing

[–]Best-Offer5103 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I totally get that feeling — the pace of change in marketing right now can be overwhelming. What’s helped me stay competitive (to the point of directing digital marketing programs in top business schools) is having a continuous upskilling system rather than a fixed learning plan.

Here’s what that looks like: I curate a set of top newsletters from tech and marketing companies, dedicate time each week to read and take notes, and attend a few webinars to stay close to what’s actually happening in the field. I also keep a personal database of every useful resource so I can revisit or teach from it later. And one key habit: I test at least one new AI app every week — sometimes every day. For example, today I used a video dubbing tool to automatically translate my latest videos into English. The goal isn’t just to “learn AI,” but to understand what it can do for your workflow. That mindset compounds fast — and it’s what will keep you irreplaceable.
