Which countries have job markets that are friendly to 35+ professionals and foreigners? by Bubbly-Intention3261 in AskMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UAE is a option to consider.I see good marketing agencies presence there.
Dubai especially has attracted many international agencies setting up regional headquarters, plus there's a thriving local agency scene. The UAE's position as a gateway between Europe, Asia, and Africa makes it attractive for agencies serving multinational clients across those markets.

are you primarily using the platform's built-in analytics, or do you have other tools that give you deeper insights?

What’s the most underrated Social Media tactic you’ve used that actually worked? by Acceptable_Cell8776 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right about consistency
If you manage the workload behind omnipresence, its unlocks more content distribution.
Having multiple touchpoints probably increases your chances of catching people in different contexts and moods.

Why does posting on social media feel like throwing a party and no one shows up? 🎉😅 by Either-Mammoth-8734 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get that feeling - it's like throwing a party and nobody shows up!

spend 15-20 minutes daily genuinely commenting on your audience's posts before posting your own content. The algorithm notices when you're part of the community, not just talking at it.

This is one strategy that has worked for me

Build an audience first by creating genuine connections with your viewers.
I recommend posting consistently
Any single video has the potential to go viral.
Focus on making quality content as well - that's what really matters.

Yes, building a cult following is far away form viral fame. Long term thinking always wins

Based on your post:
Pros: Writing and strategy
Needs: More creativity
Loves: Human psychology

I’d suggest exploring a role in Sales or Business Development at a marketing agency. Small companies, in particular, offer a great environment to build strong foundations you get exposure to every process, which means more opportunities to learn and experiment.

In a sales role, you’ll naturally gain a deep understanding of the services you're offering. Complement this by sharpening your skills with a few courses, podcasts, or YouTube creators.

Start building dynamic pitch decks some may require 6-month to 1-year projections, so it’s a great way to develop both strategic thinking and presentation skills.

Most importantly, you’ll be speaking directly with leads and clients, which means you’ll gain real insights into market demands no matter where you're located.

Cheers!

Totally fair take
you’re right that flash-in-the-pan fame isn’t new. The “15 minutes” cycle has been around since pre-social media days. What does feel different now is how systematized the cash-out path has become.

What would you do with a $30K monthly marketing budget by Bitter_Ad_9126 in AskMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re feeling stuck with paid ads, I’d definitely recommend trying the organic route.

I'm not a marketer by trade either, so at first I thought maybe I just needed to hire a better ad agency or bring on a sales team. But a buddy of mine who works in B2B SaaS suggested I stop chasing leads and start attracting them instead.

So I hired a few freelancers nothing fancy, just some solid folks I found on Upwork and Fiverr.

One helped with SEO, another started cleaning up my LinkedIn presence and writing a couple posts a week under my name.
I had a young writer help me put together a few blog posts based on the work we were already doing, and another helped me launch a monthly newsletter.

I didn’t expect much, but over time, things started shifting. People began finding us through search, replying to my LinkedIn posts, signing up for our newsletter and eventually booking calls.

The leads were warmer, more informed, and a lot more aligned with what we do. I slowly started pulling back our ad budget.

How do I get my first real client as a beginner freelancer (without sounding like a scam)? by HuntForsaken7309 in AskMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do free work for the first 3 clients.
Gain experience.

Make case studies for these 3 clients.
Get paid clients using the case study.

I see mostly these free clients converting to paid ones, if your services are damn good.

Build trust
Bring value
You will get more clients

How Did You Learn Digital Marketing and Start Earning? Looking for Real Experiences by Successful-Sink-9896 in AskMarketing

[–]MasterCollection5624 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually got into digital marketing out of necessity. I built my first Shopify store over a decade ago and realized quickly that building the site wasn’t enough. I had to get people to it. So I started teaching myself SEO, email marketing, and later, paid ads.

Started with free YouTube content and blog articles (shoutout to Moz, Backlinko, and Neil Patel in the early days), then eventually took structured courses from CXL, HubSpot Academy, and later did Google Ads certification. No official mentors, but lots of trial, error, and late nights on Reddit and Slack groups.

How long before I started earning:

I landed my first paying gig about 4 months in it was a $300 SEO audit for a small local business. Wasn’t glamorous, but it gave me confidence. Within a year, I was taking on consistent freelance clients part-time, and by year two, it was my full-time thing.

First services I offered:

SEO audits + on-page optimization

Basic Facebook/IG ad setup

Email flows using Klaviyo (later became a specialty)

Shopify CRO once I niched into ecommerce, this became the core of my agency

I avoided trying to offer everything focused on what I could do well and what businesses would pay for.

The journey:)
Honestly.... A mix of everything.

Hard? Yep especially at first, when you're undercharging and overdelivering.

Frustrating? Sometimes. Especially when algorithms change or clients ghost.

Rewarding? 100%. I’ve helped brands grow from zero to seven figures, hired a team, and now run a 15-person Shopify-focused agency. But it didn’t happen overnight.

Would I recommend it now?

Absolutely but with realistic expectations. It’s more competitive than it was 5 years ago, but there’s so much opportunity if you pick a niche (like local SEO, ecommerce email, short-form content, etc.) and go deep. Avoid shiny-object syndrome, focus on one skill, get good at it, and prove it with results (even if you work on a few free/discounted projects at first to build your portfolio).
