Beyond the Hype: My Real Journey into Digital Marketing
Stepping Into the Unknown:
Grab some tea and have a sit down with me for a spell and let's chat,, I wanted to share the latest tidbit i’ve been engaging in as of lately . I started my journey into the Digital Marketing space recently and it felt like I was stepping into a whole new world filled with uncertainties, with a hint of possibilities. I had doubts about diving into such a crowded field, I felt, in my mind, not truly really considering how endless opportunities have been created in this digital space. Could I really succeed with so many others doing the same thing?
Then I had to think about it, there are plenty of people who are successful in saturated fields, from all different kinds of careers? Why would this be any different? Doctors? Bankers? Stock Traders? Real Estate? Attorneys? The list goes on. I needed to gain a better understanding as this really was becoming quite interesting to me. Because I kept occasionally seeing social media posts about it online as well as I had received an email from someone that I followed online talking about the very same thing,
But then, I found a bright spot of inspiration. I read about young mom who found incredible success with Master Resell Rights (MRR) and Private Label Rights (PLR). Her story struck a chord with me and pushed me to look past my doubts. I had a choice: stay on the sidelines or jump in and carve my own path.
I decided to jump in. I let go of my fears and trusted that everything would work out. This decision wasn’t just about changing my career; it changed my life.
There are several Digital Marketing Courses, Which one is right for you?
Well for me, I’m curious by nature and I wanted to understand the differences between the ones I was interested in, So I purchased 3 of them, and I have to say the main two are two of the most well known, Digital Wealth Academy and UBC, The Ultimate Branding Course. Both I like, Being a woman in my 50’s A lot of younger women I’ve noticed are taking both courses, with DWA being very heavily saturated with a lot of the younger women who are more internet savvy and can grasp quickly the social media part, BUT! the course itself is well laid out and easy to digest, You can learn at your own pace and get the help that you need right inside of the community that is apart of the course. UBC is similar, with an amazing more detailed course curriculum that will help you decide which area of Digital Marketing appeals to you , because there are so many ways you can get started, you can learn the entire course and implement what you learned , or you can resell the entire course both of them, for what you paid for it, so that others can learn from it as well. the choice is yours, you can create your own assets to sell or use already created digital assets that you can customize and sell as your own. You can sell smaller sections of the course as well, inside of DWA, you can jump straight to social media and to set up your presence online, and get right into building the plane while flying it. Then there’s Digital Marketing for the Christian Entrepreneur, Kingdom Coaching, A Beautifully done Christian DM course that is set up pretty much the same as the previous two, but just set in Christian values, Because Christians do business too!
More Than Financial Gains
This journey has been about more than just making money; it's about living a richer, more fulfilling life. I no longer wanted to trade time for money. I desired quality over quantity. It became about defining success on my own terms—enjoying time and financial freedom, being present with my family, and finding true balance while nurturing my spirit. This is my next-level living.
I'm now living authentically and becoming the person I always wanted to be. After enjoying my career for over 30 years, the changes brought about by COVID made me realize I now crave a softer, calmer, anti-hustle way of living.
Life as a stylist has its ups and downs, and over time, it takes a toll mentally, physically, and financially. When the economy shifts, your income often follows suit. Hair was becoming a luxury rather than a necessity, and clients were finding creative ways to stretch their beauty budgets. This led me to realize that I needed to make some changes too. I wanted something different, something that didn't require me to be financially dependent on others. I wanted to create more, express more, and take the inspiring conversations I had behind the chair to build a platform centered around the heart-inspired energies that visited me every week.
I wanted to explore what my creative energy was calling for and see if it would offer an easier transition and gentler learning curve. I was excited by fresh ideas and inspirations that felt more aligned with who I am today and perfectly suited to my current needs. I've always dreamed of creating a platform about next-level living for women ready to explore the next chapter of their lives. After careers, raising children, and being everything to everyone else, these women now want to create something new for themselves on their journey of self-discovery. I am thrilled to share that my days of worrying about financial well-being are behind me. Now, I feel stable, empowered, and in control of my future.
Moving towards this new life, where abundance is real, has been amazing. It shows what can happen when you move past your doubts and take action.
Continuous Learning and Community
One of the best parts of this journey has been all the learning and adapting. Digital marketing keeps changing, and keeping up with the latest trends has been both challenging and exciting. Every new skill I learn, every campaign I launch, and every connection I make is a step towards a life of freedom and fulfillment.
The people I've met along the way have shown me how important community is. Networking with other digital marketers and entrepreneurs has expanded my world and made me feel like I belong. These relationships have supported and inspired me when I needed it most.
Looking to the Future
As I look ahead, I feel a sense of excitement and hope. The digital world is vast, and the only limits are the ones we set for ourselves. I'm eager to keep exploring, pushing my boundaries, and sharing my discoveries with others.
If you're feeling unsure and wondering if digital marketing—or any new venture—is right for you, take this as your sign. It's not just about making money; it's about living a life where you're in control. It can become whatever you desire and you can make this journey pure joy. As I sit here looking at this screen, I realize that I doing the things that I’ve always wanted to do. I’m living the life I’ve always wanted to live.
