Alt Marketing School’s Post

One of the many valuable lessons I learned from the #DMIP program by Girls in Marketing, aside from the wealth of knowledge and experience shared by the tutors, is the importance of engaging your audience. Throughout the sessions, I noticed every tutor using various methods to keep the audience actively involved—whether it was through millimeter polls, prompts like “let me know in the Slack channel,” or remarks about how the channel was buzzing with feedback. It worked brilliantly in a video-based training setting. Then I thought, how can I bring this level of engagement to my text-based newsletter?

The next 20 days will be for your growth and impact, here’s how… I’m joining 30 professionals from my LinkedIn community to show up on LinkedIn. But that’s not all. I’ll be giving away strategies, templates, and resources I’ve used until now for everyone out there just starting. Lately, I’ve been getting lots of DMs from people who desperately want to get started building their brand to access their dream opportunities/clients but are overwhelmed. That got to me because I started my career as a student and didn’t have to sit ideal after Uni. I already had a sense of what I wanted to do. This is my way of serving as a launchpad for: ↳ Recent graduates who feel confused about what to do. ↳ Students who want to start positioning for global opportunities, clients, and customers. ↳ And passionate individuals who want to build further and refine their brands. Please send this to all the students, teenagers, and recent graduates you know because they are about to design the path they’ve always dreamt of. ♻️  Ready for the next 20 days?

2024 started as a blast from my end. Relatively speaking, I got many opportunities much of which was meant to improve my skills. What's more? I realize my knack for media. Which, thankfully, I got the opportunities to improve myself in this aspect. Furthermore, I realize the media and the social media space is more than just about posting contents, the social media space is much wider and more than that. For a while now, I've been getting various opportunities for being a social media manager for some organizations, some of which I turned down, others, I accepted. At times, I wonder how or why I get these proposals. I mean, looking at my social media handles, I must say I still have many things to improve on. Nevertheless, I've gotten to figure out that education is much more than being within a 4 cornered class room. It is about knowledge acquisition. And thanks to these opportunities, I've been studying how the social media space works in relaying your messages to your audience... Never stop learning... #education #socialmedia #media #management #masscommunication

📚Hey LinkedIn fam! 👋 Hope you're all doing well. Today, I want to share a bit about my school days and how they've influenced my career path. 🎓 School Memories: I recently found my old report cards, and it got me thinking about the ups and downs of my early education. It's funny how those grades and comments still hold meaning today. 🚀 From School to Digital Marketing: Now, I'm deeply involved in digital marketing. The skills I picked up in school, like problem-solving and communication, are so valuable in this field. 🤔 Making Connections: In digital marketing, I see how everything I learned in school connects. Each subject and challenge taught me to keep learning, a crucial skill in today's fast-paced world. 🙏 Thank You: I'm grateful to the teachers, mentors, and family who supported me back then. Their encouragement pushed me to keep learning and growing. 🌐 Share Your Story: I'd love to hear your experiences! How did your early school days shape your career? Let's celebrate the different paths that brought us here. Cheers to our educational journeys! 🚀🎓 #Education #DigitalMarketing #Career #Learning #LookingBack

Don’t be afraid to start over, even if you have 5 years of working experience, or 6 years of experience, or 10 years of experience. Ups and downs will always be there, and facing them means you're winning at life. This time, you're not starting from scratch but with experience—which is a powerful truth I’ve come to realize in my career. Even with 4+ years in social media marketing, I’m still in the learning phase, I’m still eager to explore new skills and tactics in digital marketing, I still believe that beyond mastering your core skill, learning other skills is valuable and important. Learning from scratch and learning from experience should never stop. #SocialMediaMarketing #ProfessionalGrowth #NeverStopLearning

Wishing you a week as bright and bold as my dress! 💛✨ Don't let your skills die a sudden death like how WCW and MCM did. Staying stagnant is a recipe for obsolescence Learning is a continuous journey and even dedicating just an hour a day or a few hours over the weekend to new skills can make a huge difference in the long run. Right now, I’m diving deep into email marketing – a skill I believe will not only elevate my career but also help me stay prepared for the digital demands of tomorrow. 📧✨ The future is digital and by 2030, digital skills will be a non-negotiable asset across nearly every industry. 🌐 Stay curious, be self-aware and take the time to identify knowledge gaps – then actively work to fill them. Consistency is the bridge between where we are now and where we want to be. Make it a habit to learn something new every week. Trust me, your future self will thank you! 🙌📈 #SkillDevelopment #ContinuousLearning #EmailMarketing #DigitalSkills #FutureReady #ConsistencyIsKey #GrowthMindset #LinkedInCommunity

I started everything on Social Media when I learned that having a digital footprint matters. However, years down, I have been handling my own corporate job, projects, and hours daily after work in upskilling. I understand that niche is also important for personal branding. You can not be everywhere in greed of looking for more business or companies to spot you. You need to understand: 1. Where in life are you? [Do you have the bandwidth to make certain decisions or not?] 2. What are you looking for? [In both short term and long term] 3. Who are the people you want attention/money from? [Age/Location/Interests/Decision Making Level] 4. What are they looking for? [Their problem statement] 5. How can you help? [Solutions you can provide] 6. Where do they spend the most time? [What platforms?] Get a piece of paper, write down these answers, and then tailor them into a structure which helps you find your niche and the platforms you need to be active on! #GetSetLearning

I USED TO THINK I COULD DO ANYTHING… I used to think I knew everything about marketing. I had so much unearned confidence, thinking I could become a marketer without a lick of experience. Now I know better. Today marks my first month of being in college, and it’s made me realize how much I really don’t know. Surprisingly, I’m not discouraged. Instead I feel inspired. I’m excited to learn. I want to learn everything. So I’m thinking to start a new ‘series’ on LinkedIn. My idea is to share the lessons that I learn as I upskill my way to my dream job. I’m thinking to call it: the power-up series Stay tuned. #rrc #redrivercollege #marketing
