Here are 6 things you need to know before applying for a remote marketing job...🧵

 In 2015 I was offered a remote contract from a guy I’d met in an airport bar. 🍻

No joke. If my best friend wasn’t sitting beside me during that layover, I’m 100% convinced that everyone would think this was completely made up.
He’d overheard me talking about an SEO portfolio site that I’d recently made & that I was going to start looking for new side projects.

After a quick conversation and a week to think things over at the beach,🏖️ I flew home and took the offer. 😬
Working remotely in marketing has helped me grow personally and professionally in ways I never could at an office.

I’m grateful for everything I’ve learned and everyone who has helped me along the way.

I hope sharing a few tips I’ve picked up will help you on your journey. ✨
1) Make it real by making an action plan. Start by taking baby steps.

“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”

When you first sit down to frame out what you’re looking for, it’s important to set clear goals and make a solid plan.
Write everything out and give yourself deadlines. Once you do start working remotely you’ll be expected to perform your role independently. Start now.
Here’s a quick list of things you should include in your plan of action:

- Why you’re looking for your next role
- What you bring to the table
- Who you know (chances are you know more people than you realize)
2) Choose a skill that most businesses need.

Before you start sending out hundreds of resumes, you should already know which niche you want to work in & have a clear idea of your skill level in that area.
It goes without saying, but it’s a waste of everyone’s time (including yours) if you start applying for roles that you’re not qualified for.

If you’re just starting out, apply for entry-level roles.
Build a specific skill set that will help you market yourself.

For example, if you want to find a role in digital marketing, pick a stream to focus on (ie. SEO, copywriting, paid ads, SEM, etc.). Get really good at one thing that you can build upon.
If you don’t know what skill to pick, I recommend these niches because they’re needed by almost every business:

- Copywriting
- Email marketing
- Marketing admin
- Paid ads specialist: FB, PPC, Amazon, etc.
- Social media manager
3) Freelance gigs are your gateway to a full-time remote job.

When I originally gave notice at my former tech company to work remotely, I thought of freelance work as both intimidating and overwhelming.
However, I learned that freelance opportunities will give you a taste of what remote work looks like for you.

It will keep your skills sharp and push you to network. When you do find your dream marketing job, this experience will be mega points for you in an interview. 🎯
Skills you gain (& can later reference) from freelancing:

- Time management
- Tactics you used to stay focused
- How you tackled working independently
- Communication strategies you used to push things forward
- Why you did/didn't like working remotely
4) There’s no point in applying without a portfolio.

Successful Marketers all have one thing in common: initiative

Show 'em what you bring to the table.

5) Don’t waste your time with general job boards.

When you start looking for your first remote marketing job you have to know where to look.

Obviously, good places to start are with niche job boards & marketing communities (#MarketingTwitter)
Start building an idea of what your ideal remote marketing job will look like and pair that with your research about the companies you’re studying.

This will help you build a clearer path for what you’re looking for.

Make a vision.
6) Apply to jobs right when they’re posted. It’s a minor adjustment that makes a huge difference.

It will take time to find the right opportunity. Focus on results.
I don’t subscribe to the idea that the day of the week or particular hour you submit an application carries a lot of weight in getting the job.

However, it’s easy to get caught up in the glamour of a job ad without noticing that the author has been inactive for a month or two.
The age of the job ad will be a leading indicator of the response rate you receive.

Things move quickly. You should too.
When you put it all together, you should have a clear vision of what you offer and where you’re trying to go.
Recap on how to get a remote marketing job:

1) Make it real by making an action plan
2) Choose a marketing niche
3) Freelance gigs are your gateway
4) There’s no point in applying without a portfolio
5. Don’t waste your time with general job boards
6) Apply to jobs right away

Physical things that influence your personal brand.

-Thread.

This is going to be a very different thread from the ones I’ve done before on personal branding. People are looking for people who they can proudly advocate for and recommend, hence in today’s economy

you’re the most important touch point of your product / service and this is why personal branding is important. In previous threads I’ve spoken on the fundamentals to building a personal brand, here I want to share a few things that influence your personal brand.

1. EARS: The things and people you listen to influence your actions, behavior and character.

2. MOUTH: How you say what you think says a lot about how you feel about yourself and how you treat others. Do you leave room to be teachable? Listen as well as you speak? Your destiny is dependent on what you say.

Hey #EconTwitter: For the first time in 20 years, I am not spending my first week of January at the @ASSAMeeting. It's a weird feeling; I've always enjoyed showing off new books, connecting with friends, and talking with economists about new ideas 1/25

As with so much else, #ASSA2021 will be a new (hopefully one-off) experience; and even though I'm not standing by a booth in a sub-basement of the Hyatt Regency Chicago, I'd like to introduce you to some recent and forthcoming books in #economics from @yalepress 2/25

First up is CAUSAL INFERENCE: THE MIXTAPE by @causalinf. The short description is that this is a toolkit for economists and other social scientists to untangle cause and effect, but this book is so much more than that 3/25


It is a labor of love by @causalinf; a guide through one of the most important ideas in economics; and an indispensable "second book" for any econometrics course. It is also the only book you'll ever see that has been endorsed by both @JustinWolfers and @officialyoungmc 4/25

If you've used the online version of the Mixtape in the past, this edition is wholly revised and expanded, with coding for both R and Stata. An HTML version will be accessible at https://t.co/QSvOJb0HSG. You'll want the physical book as well; they are complementary goods 5/25

1 Cold Email, 10 closed deals

This email is based on “actions’ your prospect took. These actions might be a product launch, a new offer, a new blog, a press release…any action that might represent an opportunity for you to help.

Having action gives you a reason to email and

makes the email itself feel less cold and unsolicited.

You have to do some leg work in order to find relevant actions you can email them about.

Here is one way to find “actions” that you can use as a reason for your email:

Use LinkedIn or a Google Search to find businesses

you’re interested in working with. Compile a list of the names of the businesses, web address, and contact information of decision makers.

Identify potential needs of these businesses and how you can fill those needs. Can you write blog posts? Articles? Facebook Ads? Video

Scripts? Emails or Sales Copy?

Use a Google Search to determine “new” things that have shown up on their website lately. You can also use social media or LinkedIn to see what these businesses have been up to recently.

To do this, type “site:URL” into a Google search, using

the URL of the business you are looking to work with.

Next, select tools, and pick a recent time frame (1 month usually works well) to see what new things they’ve been working on or releasing.

Skim the search results for recent happenings, events, launches, or publications

Dr. Anandibai Joshi

Upon her birth on 31 March 1865 she was named Yamuna, after the holy river. Her parents Gunputrao Amritaswar Joshee & Gungabai Joshee came from a long lineage of wealthy landlord family in Kalyan of Bombay Presidency, whose wealth was now waning.


Anandi was the sixth of 10 children, & had 4 brothers (only two of which survived) & five sisters. Her father was particularly fond of her, as she was a bright child with an inquisitive mind. Being an educated man himself, Ganpatrao assured that his daughter was taught Marathi.

As was common practice she was married at a tender age of 9, to Gopalrao Joshi, a 29 year old widower who worked as a postal clerk in the same city. After marriage her husband named her ‘Anandibai’ (which means ‘Joy of my heart’).

Gopalrao was man ahead of his times with reformist ideas & had married Anandibai on the condition that he would be allowed to educate his wife.

He even tried to enroll Anandi in a missionary school, but did not succeed. Despite being the supportive husband, Gopalrao had his flaws.

He was a strict teacher & would sometimes resort to beating if Anandi slacked in her studies.

Following @BAUDEGS I have experienced hateful and propagandist tweets time after time. I have been shocked that an academic community would be so reckless with their publications. So I did some research.
The question is:
Is this an official account for Bahcesehir Uni (Bau)?


Bahcesehir Uni, BAU has an official website https://t.co/ztzX6uj34V which links to their social media, leading to their Twitter account @Bahcesehir

BAU’s official Twitter account


BAU has many departments, which all have separate accounts. Nowhere among them did I find @BAUDEGS

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:

So when it first appeared in Normandy, the Sherman Firefly and it's meaty 17 pounder represented an ideal combo of reliable chassis, great gun and devastating firepower right?

Ummm...

Truth is a bit more complex. /1
#WW2 #SWW #History


Deliveries of Firefly to units only commenced in April 1944,
just a few weeks before Overlord & left minimal time for familiarisation.

Armoured Regiments mostly utilised Fireflies on a basis of 1 per troop of 4 tanks. /2


Finally each armoured regiment troop had access to integral, meaty, anti-tank firepower capable of dealing serious damage to any German AFV likely to be encountered. /3


The dual purpose 75mm gun was quite capable of laying down a reasonable HE shell or AP round for dealing with Panzer III or IV.

Firefly's 17 Pounder had.... problems with HE, but excelled at tank killing. So Tigers and Panthers would need to be wary. /4


Firefly's design history dated back to March 1943 when the General Staff published "Policy on Tanks" which effectively stated the majority of tanks should have a good HE weapon and...
