    lakhs How do I begin a career in digital marketing? Digital marketing is a lucrative career choice. It’s easy to enter this field, but you need a proper roadmap to succeed in your digital marketing career. Step 1. Learn the Basics First, you must understand the basics of digital marketing, including what digital marketing is, its types, and career opportunities. It might take you months to make sense of most free courses and videos out there. Hence, the best way to learn digital marketing basics and develop the required skills is to join a course or a training program. GrowthAcad has trained 1000+ students in different digital marketing skills and provided them with placement support. You will not just learn the basics and tools but also acquire the right skills to get job opportunities. Step 2. Learn to use the right tools There are thousands of digital marketing tools available in the market. Each tool is attributed to a specific field, such as keyword research tools for SEO or funnel builders to capture and convert leads. Anybody can learn to use these tools.
