You can pivot from whatever you've been doing into a marketing career without paying a single cent.
If you're thinking about getting into digital marketing as a career, no doubt you've started to see new ads popping up in your various social feeds. "Join our college for 12-18 months and pay us $7K to start your career in marketing!"
These do come from reputable schools—but don't fall for it.
In 2021, I successfully pivoted from a broadcasting career to working from home in digital marketing as a B2B social media content creator. I recommend beginning your free online marketing training with Hubspot Academy because of the variety of certificate programs available.

Hubspot has tons of certifications available. They're also well-respected in the industry.
Google's certifications are used by digital marketers and SEO professionals. It’s FREE to open up a Google Skillshop account and take classes to gain your Google certifications.
Holding a Google Analytics or Paid Ads certification can change your life by helping you earn more and become location-independent.
Compare job ad keywords to those that appear in your resume. Make sure you're gaining the certifications posted in those ads! Each time you earn a new certification, add it to your resume and plump up the keywords in your LinkedIn profile.
