Not long ago, I was scrolling through social media wondering how all these brands kept popping up in my feed, and why certain ads just clicked with me. That curiosity led me into the world of digital marketing—and I haven’t looked back since.
Starting with Zero Clue
I wasn’t a techie. I had no background in coding or design. Just a passion for creativity and a deep interest in how people think. I started watching YouTube videos, reading blogs, and experimenting with Canva and Instagram promotions. I failed. A lot. But every time I failed, I learned something new—how algorithms work, how important content is, and why “just posting” isn’t a strategy.
Learning the Craft
Eventually, I enrolled in a digital marketing course. It opened my eyes to a structured world—SEO, SEM, PPC, email marketing, analytics, content strategy… It was overwhelming at first, but exciting. I began freelancing for small businesses. That’s where real learning happened.
Real Clients, Real Challenges Handling a local boutique’s Instagram taught me the power of storytelling. Running Google Ads for a friend’s startup showed me how data drives decisions. Each project built my confidence. I was not just “doing digital marketing” anymore—I was solving problems.
What Digital Marketing Taught Me
– It’s not just tools. It’s how you use them.
– Creativity and analytics go hand in hand.
– Trends change, but strategy lasts.
– Consistency beats perfection.
Today…
Now, am the freelance digital marketer in Palakkad and I consult many brands, build content strategies, and manage ad campaigns. I still learn every day—because in digital, change is constant. And that’s the best part.
