@@benjaminvela9506 When did you buy it Ben? The masterclass is a few hours and the course itself is 45+ hours of content but Seth Recommends you go over it twice
Bought it about a month ago. I’m going over the section on ppc and seo again and now will do the assignment that I have context to what is going on. What’s interesting to me is seeing a collab on perhaps the two people I tune into the most, that being Seth and yourself. This lets me know I’m definitely on the right path.
@@sethjared luckily I get lots of downtime on my job which is at the moment driving buses in Alaska so I get to sink into it. I’m about to begin being active on the fb group and get the most I can from the course. Look forward to seeing me in the future on one of your review videos :)
I took seth's digital marketing course. It helped me land my SEO Manager position paying me $85,000/year salary and remote. I also dropped out of community college.
I am in digital marketing and I can tell you it is awesome, plus, it’s a highly remote position where you don’t have to fight the traffic and get to the office. Plus the skills are very broad and it is very 2nd job friendly. Only downside is that it is prone to being outsourced. It’s what you offer that an outsourced worker can’t do that counts
That's great, congrats on your job! Regarding outsourcing, in my experience there is such an abundance of jobs and low supply of skilled workers that outsourcing isn't a real threat. As you mention, the value of the skills is what matters. In the early days when there was less paid competition for PPC and when Google was less sophisticated, it was possible to outsource low quality PPC and SEO and yield results. But now, companies that outsouce their marketing to save money usually pay in the long run. If outsourcing were truly that common then the job market would not have grown 5X in the last year, from about 25,000 to 40,000 open daily jobs in the US to anywhere from 175,000 to 250,000 a day.
Hi! I’m about to enter as a freshman to college, majoring in marketing. I want to have a minor but i’m not sure what should i pair marketing with. Finance? Business Tech? what do you recommend?
I can attest to what Seth is saying here. I’m one of his former students and a successful alumni. I didn’t finish college and was able to land my first remote position that paid roughly 30k/year with the information from his course. I will make 60k/year with my new job a month from now with 1 year worth of experience. This is a legit field.
@@sacabubu8506 I was fortunately laid off from that position. I say fortunately because that has allowed me to transition into my own business so, it was definitely a stepping stone & I thank God for it.

The job market for digital marketers is predicted to grow exponentially in the coming years. This makes it an exciting career path that is worth considering if you have the skillset and drive.
I went to one of those digital marketing bootcamps and I'm not even done with the program yet and I got hired as a PPC Specialist at an agency, so get into it guys !
Digital marketing is one of those careers that has so much demand that you can get into it with pretty much no experience, glad you had a great experience!
@@ShaneHummus i see people saying digital marketing offers lots of careers but when i go on google or linkedin i dont see many jobs relating to things like ppc or seo at all. do you think its because of the city im in or am i not going about finding jobs correctly?
Great topic! digital marketing is a pretty broad in scope, so alot of opportunities to carve out a path in alot of different ways within the field from SEO, content, ad buying, etc. and plenty of ways to break in that doesn't involve a degree. cool to see Seth's perspective and hear his story!
Yeah it's one of about 12 careers that meet all my strict criteria in terms of pay/opportunity/flexibility etc but you can get into it without experience/a college degree
Unsure what the situation is like in the West, but you really gotta watch out for job descriptions and probe well in the interview. Because digital marketing is still really new to a lot of companies, a lot don't understand what to reasonably expect of you. You might become just a community manager of their FB or even their graphic designer because that's what the company thinks digital marketing is
Good point! That is something I teach people to look out for. You are 100% right, some postings will include irrelevant skills like Photoshop in the job description which is a big red flag that it is not a high income skill job.
Or all of the above lol Especially working as an internal marketing manager for a small company. You're the Digital Marketer, copywriter, designer, strategist and analyst.
I’m defiantly enrolling in one of these courses; I notice degrees mean nothing if you don’t have the experience in this field. I thought this industry was impossible to break into if you don't have a degree in digital marketing, but this just gave me hope that it's possible with confidence and determination.
Watching this after recieving my first paycheck from my first full time digital marketing job (SEO) it really is crazy. I had 0 skills, no degree was just a pothead loser before. Now not only did I land a position but they told me I was overqualified for the position and gave me the specialist position instead of associate + an extra 10k to what they were gonna pay me. Guys I never made over 20k yearly. Minimum wage was all I was used to. Now I'm at 60k! It really is true the market for digital marketers is HOT! Its not too late! That's what I thought but everything he says is absolutely still up to date! Thats ducking triple I was making! The pay raise they game was AT LEAST half of what I used to make in a year.
Hello Jimmy I'm kinda on the same boat as well. Do you have any certificates? Also did you have any experience before your SEO position? Thanks again for your time hope to hear from you soon. I plan on learning the Google digital marketing cert.
I'm one of Seth's alumni, like others in the comments, and I type this while working. I think there's a reason digital marketing is so lucrative. There are many reasons, far as i'm concerned to enter the field, mine was to escape the endless dead-end jobs i got, get money, and finally be free. At this time, I don't make much, but i'm also just starting. I fully replaced the income I made as recently as last month and am a full-time digital marketer. I don't dread working daily any more and actually enjoy my work now. We'll see how things go
Appreciate that you keep it real in your videos. Digital marketing is awesome and I wish there were more videos like this that encourage more people to get started!
This was astoundingly well-timed. I was on the rocks about going into marketing, but with your recent videos on the field and Seth's free class, I'm starting to see this as a viable option. Thank you guys!

@@bonechillingtales123 Maybe because women and people of colour are a small minority of tech professionals, and she's proud that she managed to enter a profession in which her gender/race is massively underrepresented (maybe even discriminated against).
Seth's course was great. But since his course launched, digital marketing has been competitive & saturated. Every digital marketing job I see has about 200+ applicants. Not to say getting a job is impossible but it's the standards has raised a lot. Companies have increased their experience in their job description. Also companies are aware of the trend with people going into this field & have now required on-site work.
Great point, because while I may choose to pursue this, I can guarantee another 1000 "me's" are also considering this and will be starting from zero like me. You gotta hustle and be hungry to stand out. But not impossible. I'm going to use my 22 years experience as a street magic to my advantage in communication and presentations!
Love it! I’ve almost finished Seth’s course now in about 6 weeks since starting. There isn’t really any other skillsets that tick as many boxes out there, because I’m like Shane and a complete career nerd. I geuss sales might come close for the right person, although I still think digital marketing has more scope and is a more “hard” skill whilst sales a more “soft” skill set
Hey man, im thinking about buying the course but am scared of the price because im short on money. Would you say it's worth it? have u found a job and if you have how hard was it?
I taking a course of small authentic college that after 2 mounts of lot of studying , they find you a job where you live + while you develop skill as ppc manager at office you gaining experience and later you can start your own agency . i'm happy with my decision
Facts. I started doing the assignments he sets for his course's students when I was 17 in July of 2021. I'm 18 now and starting to get my first few interviews for jobs in Digital Ads paying £30K a year ($37K USD). Of course I have to perform well but it's looking very promising and I'd highly recommend going down this path along with some great professional guidance
How many hours a week are those jobs, I'd be interested in doing the course and keeping a digital marketing job while going uni but don't know if it'll be possible.
I’m so consfused why do these jobs say you need a bachelors degree and 3 plus years of experience?? But are open to hiring people with no experience? Huh? How does one get and pass the interviews ?
That's basically what I teach in the course. But as Shane points out - job postings are wildly inaccurate and often the product of an HR Rep who has no clue about the actual needs of technical professionals. Similarly most jobs say BA required but it's almost never really the case. If you watch any of the walkthrough videos on my channel you can see me go over specific postings and how to "decipher" the language. Most of my students get jobs that say 1-4 years experience required based on the experience they generate from my training that shows they understand the basics. The deman is high, the supply of skilled workers is low - meaning employers say they want x years of experience but are really open to less.
This video is amazing!! Thanks for sharing this type of authentic information. I am very thankful to you. We are in digital marketing and I can tell you it is awesome. We appreciate that you keep it real in your videos. The way you explain is awesome and I wish there were more videos like this that encourage more people to get started.
I'm graduating in May 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Certificate in Digital Marketing, any tips to find a high-paying job, or how to go about moving up in the marketing field.
i was into website hardcoding but iam not ejoying that work, what made me into web development is SEO but since iam not enjoying it iam thinking of going back to SEO and made career in that but the issue is all those google updates and search engine changing so rapidly i have fear that seo will not last long and would slowly become restricted, please put some light on this? what would you suggest me?
im actually just sickened of work altogether now, ive been underpaid and exploited for just too long i dont think ive got the energy to even try anymore
Thanks for this info Shane! I am an Indy filmmaker, who was self-taught (no expensive film school). I recently won The Peoples Choice Award at my last festival, but sales for my documentaries have lagged. I figured mastering DM would help in that regard, because the biz side of things is so neglected. I have an opportunity for a Certificate in DM and one in Multi-Media. What do you think of adding the 1-2 Punch of Video expertise with mastery in Digital Marketing?
Thank you for the introduction to Seth's Masterclass, Shane. Do you know if Seth is discovering ways to make use of AI in digital marketing? Can he predict how AI tools may impact digital marketing over the next ten years?
Hey Shana - I've been making videos about that on my youtube channel recently, you can come over to check them out. At this point the technology is still so new, it's not something to worry about when pursuing an entry level job as your agency will be a better place to adapt and grow into the technology.
I believe the data algorithm can’t cover all the human knowledge, and so it’s just a kind of tool for helping people work out difficulties, but it shouldn’t replace men’s all ages’ experience or creativity like in a new environment.
Hi shane. I'm thinking about completing my studies in Digital Marketing in America. I wanna know about the job opportunities in Digital marketing n the value of Digital marketing in America. Can you please make a video about it?
I didnt know about his course! I have an MD from Brazil and always felt like it would be impossible to transition to digital marketing without a tradition degree in it. I do have self experience - unpaid - with social media. Would the course help me switch careers?
Hey Veronica - a degree is irrelevant in this field. The goal is to make sales, so if someone can help a company get more exposure and sales, they really don't care about a degree. I've helped a lot of people switch careers, so yes. However do you live in Brazil? There are actually a number of jobs in Brazil but I don't know enough about the market to speak about the pay, but it is likely lower than in Western countries. You can also freelance for Western companies.
Hi Shane I'm holding a bachelor's degree in business administration with no work experience and looking for digital marketing to get me started as a career, now in order to do that i'd have to spend a ton of course fee for digital marketing, could you help me determining what's the average cost of digital marketing courses in the US?
How often is the course updated to reflect the continuous changes that you mentioned? Considering the course was designed two years ago, I'm curious about how it stays current.
You will get much more views if you structure these videos differently rather than a long and time-consuming video. There are some very interesting topics in these videos that should be used more efficiently. Try to make it a documentary and journalism style like WSJ. For example: Shane: the demand for this job was... blah blah..., and it keeps going up because blah blah.... but it wasn't always like this... (then try to make a transition line towards the guest speaker) Video Guest: *gives you crucial information about the topic, and later adds on something else that can be a counterargument or a different perspective* Shane: This is not the only time we see this (bring up another source) and talk about it for a minute or two before transitioning to another quote from the guest speaker. Video example: Why Global Supply Chains May Never Be the Same | A WSJ Documentary It will catch more viewers' attention if you have an 8-12 minute video rather than 24 minutes. Also, you can put some effect in between transitions, intense music in the background, or anything that would immediately grab the viewer's attention. The first 10 seconds of the video are the most important so start off by talking about something that can relate to the viewer (since you are making videos that can benefit your viewers) Keep up the grind man!
So if you have a possibility of making 100k within 3 years what’s the cap out? Like what is the highest paid positions you could get with this since obviously a career is what most people will be doing for the next 20-30 years of their life.
I'm gonna have to respectfully challenge the expected salaries for PPC. I have 2 college degrees in the marketing field, 10 years of marketing experience, with 4 years of experience in PPC alone. Definitely not making 60k+. Maybe I'm doing something wrong 🤷♀️
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am currently looking for a second career after being an ER RN and leaving to have my babies. As I'm researching this field I'm torn between digital marketing and UX design. Would these two knowledge sets work well together?
If I already have a degree in advertising, and have a job making 45k as a marketing coordinator and I know how to do google ads and graphic design and wordpress should I still take this course? Or should I try some thing more specialized like a Google data analytics certificate? I feel like I know more of the creative side of marketing like Adobe creative suite and video editing and have very minimal knowledge about techy things like data and seo. I’m trying to break out of the 40-50k range and make 70k but don’t know what else to add to my education.
I need a powerful machine for this possible career as well as video editing. I was leaning towards buying a MacStudio for artistic purposes. Is this ok machine to use in the digital marketing realm?
I have two years of content marketing experience and a Google certificate in digital marketing, yet I can't seem to get a digital marketing job with similar roles to save my life. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, like Indeed for example. Which websites are the best places to look for these jobs?
I've had students get jobs from both Indeed and Linkedin, but primarily Linkedin. Usually the issue isn't the job site, it's how you are presenting yourself, experience, value, skills, and resume and how congruent that is with this specific job posting.
I have a question 🙋♂️, is doing Digital Marketing is great career choices for anyone with mental disability like Down Syndrome and Autism Spectrum? And I want figure that doing Digital Marketing is worth to do for people with disability?
Looking to choose a degree in technology so what would you rank theses three degrees on an S-F tier scale at the bachelor level? 1. Computer science 2. Information Systems 3. Information technology
CS is the best hands down. IS & IT are still great. Those are easier than CS. Really depends on your goals & what you want to do. CS is harder & involved programming. IT is more about fixing & maintaining technology. IS is geared toward Business with IT.
I don't want to be judged or bashed but whats the need of a digital marketing certificate if the people without the classes and knowledge sill go out on social media and become the biggest online marketers and advertisers? It seems the social media/online/digital space is more about understanding the platforms and audience and theres no formats or formulas for this
4:36 isn't just a big deal, it's integral to our lives and woven into the tapestry of society. Kids born from 1998/2000 to now do not know of a world without the internet or computers. So yes, the entire school system, grade and university, is out of date and out of touch.
Hi Rahul - you can attend the training from anywhere, but the job market varies from country to country. Legally companies typically only hire people who are citizens of their country or those who have a work permit. So if you are a resident of India you would either apply to local jobs or frelance for Western companies. The kinds of salaries I talk about in the $60K+USD Range are for jobs based in the US and other Western countries, whereas salaries for the job market in India is less.

Can someone share their experience or thoughts on freelancing? Thank you in advanced 🙏🏻
Hey James - whether you study with me or not (and by no means do I suggest that you need to), I would skip the expense of a Master's program. Employers simply do not care about a degree in this field, they are going to care about your hands on experience, skills, and knowledge working with actual accounts, which you rarely get in school. I have dealt with so many grads from both undergrad and graduate marketing and digital marketing programs who still didn't know how to get a job after graduating.
@@sethjared Hello Seth, i have since withdrawn from the course. Though i still must pay a third of tuition (£2400) because i stayed longer than two weeks. My reasoning to enrol was the portfolio i would be creating. I went in with the belief the portfolio would be a showcase of the skills being taught. Instead its all essays and comparison on theories which were broadly described in the in the course introduction. I am currently going through the process to have the fees waivered. It was at an official recognised university here in England.... Ill be sure to take a look at your course!
quick question With the way everything moves so fast online I'm wondering if these jobs are still as much in demand in 2023 as they were last year when this video came out. I was watching this video with great interest and then suddenly realized it's a year-old or more and it struck me everything you're discussing might be a thing of the past because things move so quickly online Can you give me some guidance? thanks!
I am wondering the same thing. I was considering a digital marketing bootcamp but I am seeing some conflicting information talking about the demand of this field going away.
Hello I’m new to the channel and came across these videos I’m from the Caribbean and I wanted to know if digital marketing can work for me because of where I’m from. Most job persons would of gotten is in the USA I also want to know base on your experience as a digital marketer is that a intentional position??
Hey, I am from India, and am 14 years old, I really wanted to know if a minor would be able to apply for western job postings, as currency difference makes a lot of impact on the relative value of your income
Wait? Is Seth Materclass free? Becuase I already have a Associate degree in Graphic design, now I would like to try out digital Marketing In see what's that like...
Hi, so the truth is that a class certificate is completely meaningless to an employer. So you have a ton of these digital marketing bootcamps and courses giving out certifications, but a hiring manager cannot derive any value from that and their students aren't getting jobs like mine are. Students like certificates because we've been trained to like gold stars and achievement documents in school, so I could give one out, but I don't like to pander to my students. If you take the full training I teach people how the skills and how to generate experience and communicate that on a resume so a hiring manager will want to talk to you. No certificate will do that.

Great point, because while I may choose to pursue this, I can guarantee another 1000 "me's" are also considering this and will be starting from zero like me. You gotta hustle and be hungry to stand out. But not impossible. I'm going to use my 22 years experience as a street magic to my advantage in communication and presentations!
It’s the same for web development as well. It’s hard to find a job.
Love it! I’ve almost finished Seth’s course now in about 6 weeks since starting. There isn’t really any other skillsets that tick as many boxes out there, because I’m like Shane and a complete career nerd. I geuss sales might come close for the right person, although I still think digital marketing has more scope and is a more “hard” skill whilst sales a more “soft” skill set
There’s about 12 careers total that meet all of my criteria and sales and marketing are at the top.
Hey man, im thinking about buying the course but am scared of the price because im short on money. Would you say it's worth it? have u found a job and if you have how hard was it?
@@dabonit5507 best to save up first and then buy it. Set a goal and stick to it. Good luck!
@@careerstrategynz9612 yep thats what im planning on doing. have you managed to complete the course?
@@dabonit5507 yes I have. Super good transferable skills you can use for a job or as an entrepreneur. I think it’s definitely worth it.
I taking a course of small authentic college that after 2 mounts of lot of studying , they find you a job where you live + while you develop skill as ppc manager at office you gaining experience and later you can start your own agency . i'm happy with my decision
This is the best video I’ve watched regarding digital marketing! Thank you guys so much, I can’t wait to get started 💪🏽
Yay! Been waiting for this one! Thanks Shane!!! 🔥🤘
You got it!
Awesome content 👍May the Most High GOD'S favor and blessings saturate your family.
Thank you again and again for sharing 🙏
Facts. I started doing the assignments he sets for his course's students when I was 17 in July of 2021. I'm 18 now and starting to get my first few interviews for jobs in Digital Ads paying £30K a year ($37K USD). Of course I have to perform well but it's looking very promising and I'd highly recommend going down this path along with some great professional guidance
How many hours a week are those jobs, I'd be interested in doing the course and keeping a digital marketing job while going uni but don't know if it'll be possible.
That’s awesome!
I’m so consfused why do these jobs say you need a bachelors degree and 3 plus years of experience?? But are open to hiring people with no experience? Huh? How does one get and pass the interviews ?
Yeah the bachelors + 3 years of experience for an entry level job is basically a meme. It’s true for some jobs but not for this one
That's basically what I teach in the course. But as Shane points out - job postings are wildly inaccurate and often the product of an HR Rep who has no clue about the actual needs of technical professionals. Similarly most jobs say BA required but it's almost never really the case. If you watch any of the walkthrough videos on my channel you can see me go over specific postings and how to "decipher" the language. Most of my students get jobs that say 1-4 years experience required based on the experience they generate from my training that shows they understand the basics. The deman is high, the supply of skilled workers is low - meaning employers say they want x years of experience but are really open to less.
Not worth it! No skill teaching just hyped talks and more vids of people hyping him up like mlm movements.
The closest you'll ever get to getting paid to scroll on social media
Lol a lot of people will be naturals
How?
@@SafrinJahan-ly5bt I don't know for sure, but I think it's making adds on social media like youtube,tiktok, Etc
I've been doing some freelance as a content manager for an online English language school
This video is amazing!!
Thanks for sharing this type of authentic information. I am very thankful to you. We are in digital marketing and I can tell you it is awesome. We appreciate that you keep it real in your videos. The way you explain is awesome and I wish there were more videos like this that encourage more people to get started.
Appreciate the love and kind words!
I'm graduating in May 2023 with a bachelor's degree in Marketing and a Certificate in Digital Marketing, any tips to find a high-paying job, or how to go about moving up in the marketing field.
i was into website hardcoding but iam not ejoying that work, what made me into web development is SEO but since iam not enjoying it iam thinking of going back to SEO and made career in that but the issue is all those google updates and search engine changing so rapidly i have fear that seo will not last long and would slowly become restricted, please put some light on this? what would you suggest me?
im actually just sickened of work altogether now, ive been underpaid and exploited for just too long i dont think ive got the energy to even try anymore
Thanks for this info Shane! I am an Indy filmmaker, who was self-taught (no expensive film school). I recently won The Peoples Choice Award at my last festival, but sales for my documentaries have lagged. I figured mastering DM would help in that regard, because the biz side of things is so neglected. I have an opportunity for a Certificate in DM and one in Multi-Media. What do you think of adding the 1-2 Punch of Video expertise with mastery in Digital Marketing?
You’re spot on there! DM is one of those skills that has many benefits outside of just a career.
Studying digital marketing is gooooooood
Awesome podcast and Useful FAQs...👍
Thank you for the introduction to Seth's Masterclass, Shane. Do you know if Seth is discovering ways to make use of AI in digital marketing? Can he predict how AI tools may impact digital marketing over the next ten years?
Hey Shana - I've been making videos about that on my youtube channel recently, you can come over to check them out. At this point the technology is still so new, it's not something to worry about when pursuing an entry level job as your agency will be a better place to adapt and grow into the technology.
I believe the data algorithm can’t cover all the human knowledge, and so it’s just a kind of tool for helping people work out difficulties, but it shouldn’t replace men’s all ages’ experience or creativity like in a new environment.
Hi shane. I'm thinking about completing my studies in Digital Marketing in America. I wanna know about the job opportunities in Digital marketing n the value of Digital marketing in America. Can you please make a video about it?
Don’t drink and drive, but if you did.. Better Call Saul!
Great show!
Great information Shane. 👍
Thanks! 👍
I didnt know about his course! I have an MD from Brazil and always felt like it would be impossible to transition to digital marketing without a tradition degree in it. I do have self experience - unpaid - with social media. Would the course help me switch careers?
Hey Veronica - a degree is irrelevant in this field. The goal is to make sales, so if someone can help a company get more exposure and sales, they really don't care about a degree. I've helped a lot of people switch careers, so yes. However do you live in Brazil? There are actually a number of jobs in Brazil but I don't know enough about the market to speak about the pay, but it is likely lower than in Western countries. You can also freelance for Western companies.
@@sethjared no. Im an american resident now :))) thank you!
Is it worth doing a university course in digital marketing
Hi Shane I'm holding a bachelor's degree in business administration with no work experience and looking for digital marketing to get me started as a career, now in order to do that i'd have to spend a ton of course fee for digital marketing, could you help me determining what's the average cost of digital marketing courses in the US?
How often is the course updated to reflect the continuous changes that you mentioned? Considering the course was designed two years ago, I'm curious about how it stays current.
Good question.
is this seths paid add? lots of his bots in comments
You will get much more views if you structure these videos differently rather than a long and time-consuming video. There are some very interesting topics in these videos that should be used more efficiently. Try to make it a documentary and journalism style like WSJ.
For example:
Shane: the demand for this job was... blah blah..., and it keeps going up because blah blah.... but it wasn't always like this... (then try to make a transition line towards the guest speaker)
Video Guest: *gives you crucial information about the topic, and later adds on something else that can be a counterargument or a different perspective*
Shane: This is not the only time we see this (bring up another source) and talk about it for a minute or two before transitioning to another quote from the guest speaker.
Video example: Why Global Supply Chains May Never Be the Same | A WSJ Documentary
It will catch more viewers' attention if you have an 8-12 minute video rather than 24 minutes.
Also, you can put some effect in between transitions, intense music in the background, or anything that would immediately grab the viewer's attention. The first 10 seconds of the video are the most important so start off by talking about something that can relate to the viewer (since you are making videos that can benefit your viewers)
Keep up the grind man!
Hey thanks for the feedback. I’m actually thinking about making more documentary style videos like that as I personally find them really enjoyable
So if you have a possibility of making 100k within 3 years what’s the cap out? Like what is the highest paid positions you could get with this since obviously a career is what most people will be doing for the next 20-30 years of their life.
There are marketing/sales Vice Presidents that make over $10M per year. The sky is the limit
I'm gonna have to respectfully challenge the expected salaries for PPC. I have 2 college degrees in the marketing field, 10 years of marketing experience, with 4 years of experience in PPC alone. Definitely not making 60k+. Maybe I'm doing something wrong 🤷♀️
Thank you. This was helpful
Have you stayed with the same company? Maybe try jumping around a little :)
Hi! What would you chose between, Business and Management and Business and Marketing?
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am currently looking for a second career after being an ER RN and leaving to have my babies. As I'm researching this field I'm torn between digital marketing and UX design. Would these two knowledge sets work well together?
Yes, they will!
If I already have a degree in advertising, and have a job making 45k as a marketing coordinator and I know how to do google ads and graphic design and wordpress should I still take this course? Or should I try some thing more specialized like a Google data analytics certificate? I feel like I know more of the creative side of marketing like Adobe creative suite and video editing and have very minimal knowledge about techy things like data and seo. I’m trying to break out of the 40-50k range and make 70k but don’t know what else to add to my education.
Yes or course career’s digital marketing
@ShaneHummus how threatened is this carrer by AI? And if it is threatened...where should you aim your focus?
Please do any supply chain career next!!!
I need a powerful machine for this possible career as well as video editing. I was leaning towards buying a MacStudio for artistic purposes. Is this ok machine to use in the digital marketing realm?
I have two years of content marketing experience and a Google certificate in digital marketing, yet I can't seem to get a digital marketing job with similar roles to save my life. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places, like Indeed for example. Which websites are the best places to look for these jobs?
Definitely check out Seth’s masterclass. He’s literally gotten thousands of people jobs
LinkedIn
I've had students get jobs from both Indeed and Linkedin, but primarily Linkedin. Usually the issue isn't the job site, it's how you are presenting yourself, experience, value, skills, and resume and how congruent that is with this specific job posting.
I have a question 🙋♂️, is doing Digital Marketing is great career choices for anyone with mental disability like Down Syndrome and Autism Spectrum? And I want figure that doing Digital Marketing is worth to do for people with disability?
Would you recommend this field for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset?
It's good content but are you an affiliate of this course? Just clarifying.
Was this an an infomercial?
seth free marketing masterclass weblink is blocked ..any reason why.
This is a good topic to talk about
Haha thanks bro
Looking to choose a degree in technology so what would you rank theses three degrees on an S-F tier scale at the bachelor level?
1. Computer science
2. Information Systems
3. Information technology
I’m currently getting my degree in Information technology I can tell you my course work is easier than my computer science friends
CS is the best hands down. IS & IT are still great. Those are easier than CS. Really depends on your goals & what you want to do. CS is harder & involved programming. IT is more about fixing & maintaining technology. IS is geared toward Business with IT.
Thanks for sharing.
Are the work hours long? Like more than 40hrs per week?
I don't want to be judged or bashed but whats the need of a digital marketing certificate if the people without the classes and knowledge sill go out on social media and become the biggest online marketers and advertisers?
It seems the social media/online/digital space is more about understanding the platforms and audience and theres no formats or formulas for this
Was doing research online and the scammers site said this was just a money scam is this true ?
Yes
4:36 isn't just a big deal, it's integral to our lives and woven into the tapestry of society. Kids born from 1998/2000 to now do not know of a world without the internet or computers. So yes, the entire school system, grade and university, is out of date and out of touch.
Hey Shane! I’m from India and is it possible for me to attend master classes or how can I learn digital marketing from him? Thank you.
Here Raul! it's an online training
bit.ly/39VQHyH
Hi Rahul - you can attend the training from anywhere, but the job market varies from country to country. Legally companies typically only hire people who are citizens of their country or those who have a work permit. So if you are a resident of India you would either apply to local jobs or frelance for Western companies. The kinds of salaries I talk about in the $60K+USD Range are for jobs based in the US and other Western countries, whereas salaries for the job market in India is less.
my son left his engineering career to digital marketing job.
Is that good?
@@ShaneHummus I would like your opinion on that please. I'm not happy with it.
@@safaasonbol4539 He should pick a career where his strengths are. If he's an extremely competent digital marketer vs. an average or below average engineer, he will make way more money and be happier.
Thank you Shane. Please help me to link with Seth Jared. I need him to assist train my son to be a professional in digital Marketing career. Thanks for the video.
Here you go!

I am looking to become a digital marketer. Any tips ?
Shane , please make videos which Indians can do. I am from India. WFH is what I mean. I have US customer service experience.
How can I get experience im certified in 3 types of Google ads (search,display, shopping) but all the jobs I see require 3+ year of experience? What would be the best way to move forward?
i said this because you are selling courses about digitla marketing
Working remotely but still only applicable to those in the US?
lol just so i thought the course is not free at all, only the introductory video.
Hi. Can someone take Seth’s course to start working on gigs and freelance? I’ve seen a lot of videos where Shane interviews people who end up getting new decent/high paying jobs for the most part. I’m not looking into doing a complete career switch soon, but instead to use digital marketing as a side hustle and then transition into a full-time careers perhaps. Can someone share their experience or thoughts on freelancing?
Thank you in advanced 🙏🏻
It’s designed to land a job, but you can definitely freelance as well
Not worth it! No skill teaching just hyped talks and more vids of people hyping him up like mlm movements.
How does digital marketing change with AI?
Can you make a video about artificial intelligence degree.
Can you meet ppl to advertise yourself that you are a digital marketer
I am not a tech expose, Can I learn digital marketing?
Hi Seth can I take your course all the way from South Africa and how much will it cost me
This is Shane Hummus' channel. Maybe ask him to relay the question to Seth?
can you do his training if you live in england?
Yes, the job market in the UK is also good. If you email me I can send you a link to some testimonials from London.
The real Digital Marketing is in the comment section !
What's the price of this course?
Quality!
I just started my masters in digital marketing.
Digital marketing is great, usually a degree is not needed
Hey James - whether you study with me or not (and by no means do I suggest that you need to), I would skip the expense of a Master's program. Employers simply do not care about a degree in this field, they are going to care about your hands on experience, skills, and knowledge working with actual accounts, which you rarely get in school. I have dealt with so many grads from both undergrad and graduate marketing and digital marketing programs who still didn't know how to get a job after graduating.
@@sethjared Hello Seth, i have since withdrawn from the course. Though i still must pay a third of tuition (£2400) because i stayed longer than two weeks. My reasoning to enrol was the portfolio i would be creating. I went in with the belief the portfolio would be a showcase of the skills being taught. Instead its all essays and comparison on theories which were broadly described in the in the course introduction. I am currently going through the process to have the fees waivered. It was at an official recognised university here in England.... Ill be sure to take a look at your course!
Can you do a video on UX/UI?
This will be coming soon for sure
quick question
With the way everything moves so fast online I'm wondering if these jobs are still as much in demand in 2023 as they were last year when this video came out. I was watching this video with great interest and then suddenly realized it's a year-old or more and it struck me everything you're discussing might be a thing of the past because things move so quickly online
Can you give me some guidance?
thanks!
I am wondering the same thing. I was considering a digital marketing bootcamp but I am seeing some conflicting information talking about the demand of this field going away.
@@Mezmariahze I think this is a field likely to have difficulty due to AI
@@IAmSherry12 Hi Sherry, it's 2024 now and it is still in demand. its been a year now, how far about your digital marketing?
Hello I’m new to the channel and came across these videos I’m from the Caribbean and I wanted to know if digital marketing can work for me because of where I’m from. Most job persons would of gotten is in the USA I also want to know base on your experience as a digital marketer is that a intentional position??
Hello Dela, its been a year now, how far about your digital marketing?
Hey, I am from India, and am 14 years old, I really wanted to know if a minor would be able to apply for western job postings, as currency difference makes a lot of impact on the relative value of your income
It is possible but only when your 16-18 because that’s the minimum age to start in the US. But make sure to ask the employer just in case 😊
I'm 51 can I start DM ?
Wait? Is Seth Materclass free? Becuase I already have a Associate degree in Graphic design, now I would like to try out digital Marketing In see what's that like...
Yes it is
please i was blocked for some reason can u unblock me
Working from home like this not having to smile and say hello everyday to some a$$h@!€s 🤩🤩🤩
Will u give us certificates to proof that we received the train from you?
Hi, so the truth is that a class certificate is completely meaningless to an employer. So you have a ton of these digital marketing bootcamps and courses giving out certifications, but a hiring manager cannot derive any value from that and their students aren't getting jobs like mine are. Students like certificates because we've been trained to like gold stars and achievement documents in school, so I could give one out, but I don't like to pander to my students.
If you take the full training I teach people how the skills and how to generate experience and communicate that on a resume so a hiring manager will want to talk to you. No certificate will do that.
@@sethjared okay I understand but may be in Canada employers may need it notwithstanding I am ready to take the course
