In today’s episode, I discuss the core skills needed to EARN a career in digital marketing, where to learn the skills for free (or at least for less than a college degree), and why these skills are important (generalization versus specialization).

I mention various resources like Coursera’s Global Skills Index, Lean Six Sigma Project Management, Google Skillshop, SEMrush’s free courses on SEO, Facebook Blueprint, Shopify Academy, Marketo’s certification courses, and TrailHead by SalesForce.

If want to read more on the topic of career design and gain the right skills in the digital marketing industry, check out this blog post. Here’s Scott Adam’s career advice blog post I mentioned, it discusses the “skills stack” and why being in the top 25% in two things is better than being in the top 1% in one thing.

Thanks for listening and as always, share this episode with a colleague you think could also benefit from listening!
