Thankfully a person from the other side of the Atlantic who's not hyper and all shouty. Great video. I'm 57 and just starting out after 4 years of studying whilst being ill. a new subscriber here.
Dude. What an incredible overview of becoming a digital marketer. I can't believe so few people have seen this video. Based on your very "real" presentation I can believe your course is packed with lot of value. Keep the good content coming. Thanks.
Jaw. Dropped. What incredible content, how well spoken, so engaging and informational. The amount I’ve learned so much here is 5x more than what I learned from multiple videos I’ve been watching.
This is so well-structured, with lots of useful hints and a strategic overview, and the most important, this is not self-centered / annoying as other know-it-all youtubers on the topic. Thanks a lot for sharing
This is great. The fact that someone relatable is telling me that a process they followed works, I feel it becomes INFINITELY more possible for me to achieve. Thanks, Rich!
Lol I totally see what you’re doing here...You’ve completely proved your point about giving immense value to build trust. I trust you and I’m buying the course when it drops. This video was so comprehensive! I feel like I have a solid blueprint now. And you’ve helped me realize the fact that I’m actually interested in being a marketer/consultant/freelancer versus starting an agency. I was definitely watching the wrong videos to get started. Thank you!
@@richandniche I'm barely getting into my marketing courses at school and didn't understand half of what you said in this video but a big part of me believes you said a lot of gold nuggets that I will soon understand 😁
Just simply watching and learning from this video and reading this comment made me realize that I am better off being a Digital Marketer, Consultant, and Freelancer instead of doing an Agency... This video really inspired me to take action on pushing myself further into learning about being a Digital Marketer, Consultant, and Freelancer. Thank You Rich + Niche for the Value, and Motivation!
The timing of this video couldn’t be more perfect. Just started my digital marketing agency and have been taking google analytics courses and diving into copywriting. I’ll take this as a sign to keep on moving. Thank you so much ✨🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I am making this video my BIBLE!! I have a very similar experience and I've already done a lot of the things you mentioned here. I especially love a few things you said such as "not everybody wants to be big like Gary V." or "don't try to be a pro at everything, just be better than the client" - I've struggled with both of those for forever. I don't want to be a big agency but I'm tired of being a little freelancer charging $50/hr for work that is worth way more than that. I also need to stop trying to be a total pro at everything. Sometimes being just good is good enough. Hearing someone else say these things made me realize I'm doing great and I'm on the right path. This was the 1st video I've seen from you and definitely going to check out the rest next. Thanks for sharing!!
@@theekhalilabre - Stop emotionalizing. He is lying about his affiliate/referral relationships with 3 companies. Stop trying to discern people's character by using "vibes."
This is unbelievable amount of value in a single video. Its not just about consulting but also about how to approach things, skills, services, clients, project, life and so much more♥️❤️🔥🔥
Your video is amazing! I like the gradual buildup from 0 - 100. SEO, Content, Sales, Consulting, Branding. Also the part of learning by doing and accepting failure as a means of learning. Thanks for this.
Real, practical business advice,is very difficult to come by. Especially online when the whole notion of starting your own business online has been oversaturated to the point where anybody can claim to be a business guru. Thank you, you are definitely someone who knows what he is talking about.
Hi Cristian, saw that we are watching the same video with similar interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect and network. Hope you don't mind. Tan
I specialize in FB Ads and I’m only just starting to understand SEO and you’re right. From the various convo I had with small business owners, much of their sales could be improved by just running facebook ads targetting their local area but they are really afraid of running it. I just registered my business and is currently designing the right pitch for these business owners. It was just about earning some extra money at first but now Im just sad because Im a regular at some of these businesses and it would be really sad if they go out of business! I learned a lot from your vid and thanks for the reccomendations!
Rich, you and I have an extremely similar journey! I was amazed! I have chosen to niche down a little further and do efficiency consulting for online business processes. The first client I tested the marketing efficiency on, we cleared up 9 months of marketing time from their schedule! 🥳🥳🥳🥳 I am busy creating a "Done-With-You" course for that framework strategy. Clients can choose to add the consulting or not. Than you for this video and also the one on hosting your online course in Notion. Powerful and helpful information 💜💜💜!

What can I say after watching a perfect video like that? Thank you so much !!!! Honestly. I am so glad that we can find content like that on RU-vid . Thanks for your generosity by sharing a content who guide so many people who feel lost how to get where they want to and to be able to give us a direction! You are a star 🌟!
Thankyou for this. I'm 23 & graduating with a marketing degree. I'm currently interning, handling content creation for a tech company and I see myself being a consultant in the near future. Definitely going to take the next few months to hone in the craft
What a great video on how to become a digital marketing consultant. You explained everything very well. My journey into this field all started with learning HTML/CSS to build websites. But then I realized that there is way more to web design than HTML/CSS. So I started learning UX/UI design. Then as I learned about that I started learning about branding. Then that led me to learning about storytelling. Then that led me to learning about copywriting. So I've been reading a lot about copywriting to really understand the mindset behind it...which I think is fascinating. Now I'm at a point where I need to practice copywriting to get some experience. So I'll start a blog. But having this in mind has led me to dip my toe in the world of SEO. And later on I can learn data science, email marketing, etc. So I said all of that to say, I realized putting all of these skills together I could enter into the world of digital marketing. Hence, be a digital marketing consultant. And have the freedom of living anywhere (I love to travel as well). Great video! And thanks for sharing this.
that is like exactly the path. I also started with HTML long long ago with macromedia dreamweaver. but it was SEO that gave me the light at the end of the tunnel - as long as there are search bars - there will be algos and thus, there will be optimization methodologies where agile, fast-lerarners can excel. Good luck!
I know most of digital fields I remember that I was shifting from one to another, but it's hard to keep up with all the updates specially that we focus on practical things more than theories. but I didn't think before to use this knowledge or skills as package to provide consultant. it happens that people ask me and I just answer but also I feel that I miss some information when it come to specialize but it's also logical that you won't know everything before you work on it.
Back in the day, i was a teenager having no passion or interest at all. I just, you know, did what everyone else was doing. That’s why i ended up pursuing a degree in economics so that i could get “iron rice bowl” career. Well, sort of Asian mindset. :)) Deep down inside, i was eating my heart out. And I knew one thing important which was i needed to change, otherwise i would regret it for the rest of my life. Now i am I am self-taught digital marketing. I like it when i take ownership of my learing, i am overwhelmed at times though. Just wanna say thank you for sharing insightful information, which helps me create a clear vision for my career, guide me in my journey as a digital marketer.
Just started Northcentral Technical College through Virtual College. I'm getting my Associates in Digital Marketing and earning a Certification in Multimedia and Computer Arts,(Photoshop,digital video,ect.). I enjoyed your video very much. You gave me a basic understanding on how to be successful in the market.
I have been doing freelancing for 3 years without a sale, now hear this, my brother told me to go out and find some job related to my learning experience so I said it would be an SDR position, been getting rejected by kids that do not know lead generation or business, it's so much more painful trying to find a job, trust me.
Hi Designerz Plot, saw that we are watching the same video with similar interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect and network. Hope you don't mind. Tan
Honestly man, this message is just so core and quite comprehensive that I promise myself I’ll have to watch it again as reminder to myself. Again and again!
I have just bumped into your video and I think the way you present those digital marketing concepts to us was really helpful . As I also want to become a marketer, I wonder if you can share us some tips or even tutorials on learning basic things like "SEO" and "Copywriting" ?
Hi Nonso, saw that we are watching the same video with similar interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect and network. Hope you don't mind. Tan
Thanks for sharing. Digital marketing & SEO work. Most people don't have the patience or take the time to learn it, let alone wait for the results. It's like planting seeds and farming.
The longer the video there more you're added after videos as the next video, or a suggested video. RU-vid wanted viewers to stay on RU-vid which = longer the video, the more likely they are to recommend that video = more views for the video etc etc
I really appreciate your communicating skill. You were speaking by heart, without reading nor being too "noisy". And your suggestions were great. I feel there is soooo much I need to learn, and that's scary, but at least you helped me by giving me some examples on were I should start. So, again, thanks a lot!
Wow, one of the best videos on the subject I’ve seen, still holding true in 2022. I’d love to get your input on how long it took you (or takes) to go from starting your own education to actually making money in the field? Maybe even how long it took to make enough to make this your full time job? I’m currently a server and athlete and just recently started doing SEO courses as well as copywriting. I’d love to build up to making money with these skills but I have no idea what kind of timeline that looks like. Currently I’m spending about 25-40hrs a week learning. Any advice from experts would be greatly appreciated. 🙏
Hey, I stumbled upon your channel recently and I just want to say thank you, not only because you helped me make up my mind about what to become in the future but also for giving me (and everyone) complete transparency about a subject that's not so spoken about. Thank you very much and greetings from Argentina!!
I'd like first of all to thank you very much for your most informative video! It's really helpful. The only thing I didn't understand is: do you provide your clients with typical dm job (FB ads, Google ads, SEO, copywriting, etc) or do you always propose to them a digital marketer to do the job and you just consult? Because then, they'd have to take a percentage of the "charge" as well. I would also appreciate if you could do another video about other dm books that helped you and/or blogs or online sources we could use for farther education. Thank you in advance! *I look forward for your online course
Hi Wayne, saw that we are watching the same video with similar interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect and network. Hope you don't mind. Tan
So proud of you! As someone who has watched you from the beginning and watched that flame die out a long time ago im very happy to see you finally move in the right direction
He learned: {Look up these keywords} ► Sales funnel ► Lead magnets ► Trip Wires ► Profit Maximizers ► Social media traffic ► Organic traffic ► Google adwords ► Reaching out to websites for back-links ► Video ► Graphic design ► Build trust/cred/testimonials In the end, business owners just need you to be better than THEM. You shouldn't be the #1 on planet earth, they couldn't afford you. You want to simply be better than them, know a little more about marketing then them. When you know a little more, you can let them know their known unknowns.
How do you measure if you have delivered what they want? The success of your work is measured through traffic or sales? What if their product/service sucks and they don't sell purely because of that? Thank you very much for your video! That was very helpful.
I wouldn't work with someone who has a bad product. You can set different types of success metrics for each client based on their desires. Yes, get them to describe success before you get started, you will find your measurement there.
Thanks a lot brother, you have surely dropped the golden knowledge , with no doubt you are the next Super digital marketer we can learn from, , I have been learning a digital marketing for travel industry for more than one year now , but today I captured the advice ever in digital marketing space
What an amazing insightful overview about digital marketing! This is the real deal youtube meaning! Thank you so much for sharing all your experiences and advices!
The knowledge you give here is priceless. I was skeptical at first about the courses that digital marketers offer. But now I will focus on develop my skills and try to get my first clients. I have a lot of questions about the contracts and how they should be written but I guess I will learn along the way. Thanks a lot!
You are doing a great job and it really inspired me to see things from every aspect clearing many doubts I had to make a start in my digital marketing journey... Don't ever stop making such quality videos bro as many of us need a great mentor like you. And thanks a lot for sharing such valuable information.
I came up with this video as I just started 1 month ago studying digital marketing and the reason is to find that freedom you talk about (which I already have in a way just not financially). You really motivated me to dig in and find my way in this world so thank you for your positive vibe, I really appreciate it. Besides the two consulting books you talk about, which other resources do you consider to be important for the beginning of a career? Thank you once again and keep up the great work. Peace&Love
Thanks for the great comment. I really don' thave much else to recommend except what we have available on richandniche.com I mean this is a brand new industry - there isn't any modern materials available yet - thus I'm creating them.
@@richandniche I had already in mind to take your course once I'm done with the 2 I have in progress (one in Udemy platform and wired creatives). Look forward for that! Thanks for the reply
So my take away from this video is...I'm well on my way to becoming a digital marketing consultant. Already know quite a bit about SEO and am actively learning Copy right now. Great video!
Hi Kip, saw that we are watching the same video with similar interests and I thought it would be a great opportunity to connect and network. Hope you don't mind. Tan
Loved this so much! This video is my first step into researching into going out on my own as a digital marketer - I am currently a digital marketer for a national retail brand in New Zealand but I might lose my job soon so here goes!
Hi Felicia, sorry to hear about your job. It's important we work towards independence and protect our income. Please consider joining my Masterclass and also our private community.
Great talk! I am 16 years old and i still did not now what I wanted to work on. But I always loved the idea of working as a freelancer and this seems like a great career. I also figured that if I wanted to have my own business in a future this would be the perfect way to start. I do have 2 questions,: 1. What is the order of things that we should learn to become a consultant? Ej: First SEO, Second etc... and my second question is if you could make an online course on how to become a good freelancer and all the steps and material. I bet lots of people would buy that. Thanks for the video
It took me less than a year from when I got serious to earning about 4k a month and it kept going up and I never looked back. I did many different jobs before and lots of odd jobs and even Door dash.
I'm trying to transition to digital marketing from content writing and it appears I have my work cut out. Thanks for posting this video, man. I at least have a clearer picture now of how to proceed.
