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.
Here are 6 things you need to know before applying for a remote marketing job...🧵
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.
After a quick conversation and a week to think things over at the beach,🏖️ I flew home and took the offer. 😬
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. ✨
“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.
- 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)
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.
If you’re just starting out, apply for entry-level roles.
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.
- Copywriting
- Email marketing
- Marketing admin
- Paid ads specialist: FB, PPC, Amazon, etc.
- Social media manager
When I originally gave notice at my former tech company to work remotely, I thought of freelance work as both intimidating and overwhelming.
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. 🎯
- 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
Successful Marketers all have one thing in common: initiative
Show 'em what you bring to the table.

Here are 9 things you should include in your marketing portfolio... \U0001f9f5

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)
This will help you build a clearer path for what you’re looking for.
Make a vision.
It will take time to find the right opportunity. Focus on results.
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.
Things move quickly. You should too.

20 Most Important Lesson of 2020
// A THREAD //
It was a fast and weird year.
The year of change.
My life changed a lot and I learned even more.
Here are the 20 most important lessons - which will shape the upcoming decade for me.
1. Systems Are Better Than Goals
In the past, I failed many of my goals.
This year I've realized that it could be caused by the fact that they were goals, not systems.
Thanks, @ScottAdamsSays for helping me realize this.
Short article on the topic: https://t.co/lyBqGBR0yM
2. Use Notion More
@NotionHQ is definitely the most useful tool I've discovered this year.
I use it for:
- Twitter
- Freelance CRM
- Content Creation
- Website project management
And for personal use, it's completely free.
3. Email Is Immortal
This year we saw on social sites:
- Shadow bans
- Normal bans
- Decreasing reach (e.g. during the presidential election)
That's why I believe building an independent audience e.g. email list is mandatory.

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
