Didn't win the birth lottery
So, this has been bugging me for the last 2 days, mostly "OFF MY CHEST" type. I just feel down :(
​
So, I have a dream/goal to become a known guru of digital marketing in this shitthole place where I live. I just want to get recognized for my work and people to know my skills and such.

I want to be working for startups, companies, established companies, companies calling me up for "consultation" to improve their business or they hire me for a very specific task. Nothing like they do it for 9-6 style but they HIRE me and I control the way I handle my tasks.

So whats bugging me is this bitch is doing EXACTLY what I want to do,
Code: 
pk.linkedin[B]<DOT>[/B]com/in/mehreenomer
Handling multiplies "companies" online presense. I want to do bloody same! Look at her certification! arrghhh

I want my own digital marketing agency where for the start I will be working alone. I want to handle ORM, SEO, social media management, get hired to handle PPC campaigns, site optimzation , and all those goodies. I want to be a "GOO ROO", a guy with reputation, a guy where companies invite me over dinners and such.

How do I do this? I did brainstorm it I came up with this :-

  • Create decent twitter account
    • Follow the strategy to gain more followers
  • Create blog/wordpress and make it as authentic as possible to a real person
  • Start writing content related to digital marketing/mosly rehashed content from established IMing goo roos who I follow on Feedly
  • I'm semi working for a startup only because the CEO/Found is a good friend of mine since middle school and I happen to live in a city where he needs some help with. He did say he will hire me a marketing director if I got my shit really going. Being a market director is what want, handling online presence and such!
What else I can do?


I don't want to compete in the international scene because when I see people like CCarther, those are big dogs with shitton of experience. But I think I have shot domestically here.

Glad I made this, Sigh...
 


What a shitty dream. You want to seem and not to be. In reality however, you need results and not some image. Get a real fucking dream.

Negged for dragging some girl into this and for being a cunt in general.

1st of all she is girl, as being male you can't get the psychological edge of being a female? (seems rude but its true fact)

so think positive and if you can follow these steps u'll surely become an authentic name soon

study hard, get certifications
do blogging specially make personal brand with using all major social networks + personal blog.
go out and make friends in local blogging community, add/follow them, attend meetups & conferences.
join some charity organization, also do guest blog for big blogs
 
- Do pro bono work for charities and small businesses to show results and use their logo as clients/testimonials to build credibility

- Build your website out by seeing what other large agencies are doing. You must portray yourself as a large agency to land large accounts. Some may disagree with that but that's based on my experience

- Forget the twitter account, brick and mortar businesses don't look at those - they dont have time. startups in the web space do however.

- Forget the blog too unless it's attached to your website and you use it to build authority. However, businesses won't read this either unless it adds value.

- Locate a SCORE location near you and do a free seminar on something having to do with digital marketing. Make sure SCORE promotes the seminar through their email list. http://www.score.org

- Stop reading this and start doing it. You don't need certificates to be successful, you need experience and results.
 
Well you could always take the path of a former american "goo-roo" ... he essentially used the "fake it till you make it" strategy. Pretending to be a big time seo king pin...releasing photoshoppped checks (this one is key)...all the while trademarking his "brand" and building link juice for the day when the steam would run out...which it has but then you sell an online "goo-roo" system so others "can get paid for making links" ... then you sit back and collect the residuals and hope you can repeat the whole thing all over again. If not, at least some magazines have featured you on the front cover...that always looks good in your office.
 
1. Start a blog - claim you make huge amounts of money, something absurdly high.

2. Take pictures with fancy cars and watches - fill your blog of with copy/paste ideas and info from other blogs. At least rewrite it though. Do "case studies" with made up numbers. The more numbers the better.

3. Get credit terms with whoever is stupid enough to give them away (check out recently funded companies that sell ads) max out the credit and make some money that way. Doesn't matter what the ROI is because you are never going to pay. Key way to get more credit is to offer to pay absurd CPAs/CPMs - people will get greedy and take the deal and start counting how much money they made before realizing you are never going to be paying. Do this under shell companies - claim you weren't the owner just an "adviser" if you get outed.

4. Use money to appear like you have money in public places. You now actually have a little money so you don't need to just pose for pictures. Go to events and give out gifts/dinners to people other people trust. Get pictures of it.

5. Start monetizing!

A. Sell your services to whoever is willing to buy them. Charge 10x a normal going rate. You charge so much you've GOT to be good.

B. Promote other guru crap on your blog for referral fees. Stay stupid things like "this new program for so and so is awesome it really changed my entire perspective on things and made me a ton of money!" it doesn't have to make much sense. Just tell people you made money with it and they will buy it.

C. Grab up equity on various guru products just so they can slap your name on it.


It's worked for countless other people since I've been in the industry so it seems like a pretty solid plan.

The story behind Kappa is fairly simple! Back in the early days Justin.tv, there was an employee called Josh. Josh's face was uploaded as an emote, and the magnificent smug mug we know today was born.

People used it to convey sarcasm, trolling, or simple mischief, popularity grew, and Kappa became viral.

Will start my first ever journey thread of IMing here. I need to be held accountable instead of blaming "lack of motivation or self discipline"

I actually have a similar plan or exactly that plan.. Going to fake it till I make it. Desperate people will believe anything and easily manipulated. I have some places in my mind where these desperate domestic IMers all converge about. It can actually work well. Fun thing to do.

I will get the fame I want and feel it!


Going to make a journey thread on newbie section. But tomorrow. 11 PM.
