Hi Guys,

I'm visiting family over X-Mas :xmas-smiley-030: and will be returning to Australia with low funds :2twocents: so I will have to get a job.

I would really value the opinions on what kind of entry level jobs / part time would compliment my learning and funding whilst still learning IM.

I have no degree and no prior experience in online marketing...

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.:bowdown:
 


What are you good at?

If you are a good content writer, maybe you can work on textbroker or another content site. If you are a good designer, you could do some client work from Odesk or another freelance site.

There are a lot of different areas in IM. Figure out what you are good at and what you would enjoy doing and then find a job in that area.
 
None (once you have enough money saved). Your time is better spent here, and working on your websites and doing actual IM.

Until then, the job that suits you best is the job that pays the most money in the least amount of time. I'd do construction or some shit rather than a job that slightly overlaps IM and pays absolute shit. At least around here, most of the corporate entry level social media manager jobs or that type of crap don't pay well at all. I'd rather bust my ass doing construction, make $25 an hour or whatever, and then rush home to work on websites.

Easy for me to say though. I've never worked a day of construction in my life. I do b2b sales in a cushy office job =/
 
I have to confess to taking an entry level SEO job working on some "big brandz" and being told what to all day.

Mostly you don't need any qualifications just enough IM experience. I applied for 1/1 and got it.

Advantages:

1. I don't feel like I'm in an SEO vacuum. I've entered the void and feel more part of the industry than purely being sat at home lurking here all day.

2. It's confirmed a lot of my experiences and thoughts about the industry which in turn has given me a lot of confidence, even 2 weeks in.

3. I'm doing a lot of grunt work, it's experience. My excel and outreach is leveling up. Real stuff I can apply to my sites. When I'm a bit more seasoned I can freelance. Not glamorous but a viable £ stream to supplement sites when taking off.

4. It's given me a big kick up the arse and reminder of the type of work-life situation I want to avoid.

Disadvantages

1. If you've spent a while here and tried to cultivate your mindset by amalgamating a lot people's thoughts here, you'll probably think that your colleagues/boss are quite lame and not very cutting edge or innovative when it comes to IM.

2. It's easy to get stuck on the treadmill as getting off requires patience and consistent work. E.g working on your sites maybe for a year or so.

3. Time drain, obviously.

4. Link-building and outreach is depressing. Even more so when you're doing it on behalf of a client's site you don't give a shit about and massively overpay for a crappy PR3 (Business opportunity in fairness...).


Whether or not most money/least work in an unrelated industry is a debate which only you can decide. I would say, and this is very broadly speaking based on my place anyway, and the young nature of our "profession" SEO/IM jobs tend to have a better working culture which can suit you better: More flexitime, more working from home, younger managers who may be in a similar position, plus access to resources you might not otherwise have...all those shitty overpriced tools.

Plus our office is part of a larger media company so those type of women. :)

Very useful feedback.

I think I will attempt to persue a day job in IM/SEO or relevent other job. Still not sure what entry position i could go for. Or better yet what I can do for the next 2 months to show a company that I know the basics at least.

(Am open to suggestions on this)

I can't go for a shit w/o taking my phone to read Ca$hvertising or some educational forum post atm, I really don't think i could manage an unrelated job atm as my mind is set firmly on learning this.
 
Your position doesn't matter nearly as much as which company you work for. Working for a shit company is kind of like doing affiliate bullshit. You're always trying to compensate for something that's lacking and in the end that's the kind of sap you learn to be. If you work for a reputable company you can flex your skills and show results without being held back.

When I was really young I'd make like $10-15k/month with my own shit, but after years of that I took a job at $15 an hour. I made shit money, but I got top rankings for some of the most competitive keywords on the planet and turned millions in ads into millions more. If you swing something like that, nobody cares what salary you started at, you're instantly a player and you're gonna get paid like one.
 
This is where I am at now. I spent many years in the US Marines. Then an overseas security contractor and ended up as a diver on oil rigs.. I was able to save a shitload of money but then lost the majority of it in the market in 08 and a divorce. So I am damn near starting over. I have been around agriculture most of my life (40 now) and packed up everything I could fit in my Jeep with 2 heelers and left a condo on the beach to move to a 60,000 acre ranch in Montana to manage it.
I make a small percentage of what I did before but I also have no bills including food and gas. The ranch takes care of everything. Plus, the winter is our slow time so I only work about 2-3hrs a day and have the rest of the time to fuck off and work online. So I am using this time to learn as much as I possibly fucking can to make as much money as I absolutely can. I am used to making a shitload of money and I want to be back to that point again and nothing is going to fuckin stop me!!
I will be on here asking questions and contributing as much as I can which isn't much yet but give me a year and I will take over. I am very motivated and never stop till I reach my goals!!
