Will you believe me if I told you learning digital skills would be this difficult? It has been a state of constant brainstorming experience for me
I came across the “Skill connect boot camp” which was organized by youleadinternational and I decided to give digital marketing a trial. I was excited to learn about digital marketing, I could already picture promoting people’s brands by developing a digital strategy for their business or company.
Time Constrain
Combining digital marketing with my business as a fashion designer didn’t make it easy. The deadline to meet up with my client’s work, “client breathing down my neck e.t.c. This is because of an endless circle day after day. I had to satisfy my client and also my affinity for learning digital marketing. it was overwhelming but I had to find a way to deliver myself from the mirage of “I still have time”.
I found a balance, I was to manage my time to help me prioritize tasks so I’m able to complete work and assignments on time. I was able to set the time needed for the assignment and also my work. I work on one task at a time and also start early.
Loss Of Focus
Initially, I was excited to learn digital marketing, the drive was there at first but as time goes on, the drive that pushed me wasn’t there anymore. I started losing focus during class, and I started getting distracted. I asked myself why I was finding it hard to concentrate, then I discover I was multitasking too often.
I found a way around this by keeping my brain from wandering out of the class. No daydreaming! I keep my mind in class, in the present, and save thoughts about other stuff for later. it was hard but I was willing to make the change to help myself.
My goal is to become a professional digital marketer. Prompting different organizations’ brands through the use of social media and various online platforms. Creating awareness about any product or service a brand or organization needs to be promoted. Also advertising my various fashion designs on social media platforms, especially for clients that are not in close proximity to where I reside.
I intend to achieve this with a precise time management schedule. This will enable me to organize how to shuffle my day between my work and learning to be a digital marketer. I will also research and become conversant on how social media works so as to know how to market a product and also promote a brand.
In the course of my learning, I have been taught the fundamentals of digital marketing, how to come up with a digital marketing strategy, and how to go about social media strategy with having a content calendar. I can now make use of the Canva app to design social media content.
Moving forward, I intend to use my skills in digital marketing to help an organization’s brand reach its target audience and promote its product, and as a fashion designer, I intend to use my skill in growing my brand and promoting my product. Thank you so much youleadinternational for the opportunity given to me to learn digital marketing.
