What it Costs to Start an Internet Marketing Career?
There are a few well known sub-branches of Internet Marketing such as SEO (search engine optimization), SEM (search engine marketing), SMM (social media marketing), PPC (pay-per-click) marketing, Affiliate marketing, and Blogging.
You can start your internet marketing career by getting training in any one of the above Sub-Branches of Internet Marketing, or you get a course in all. Obviously, getting training in all sub-branches of IM would be very beneficial in terms of long career goals.
The costs of these courses vary with place and medium plus with different institutions. Anywhere from $100 to $200 would cost you for individual course and $500 to $1000 for a collective course in Internet Marketing.
Duration for these courses will also vary, but would be anywhere from 2 weeks to 8 weeks.
It is only my expectations. You can also get training from local institutes which will cost you less money.
How to get Internet marketing jobs?
As both customers and brands are going online these days, opportunities are going huge for Internet marketers. Finding the jobs in Internet marketing are no longer difficult, the only thing you need is to be well-versed with your job profile.
