How did Gaurav start a career in Digital Marketing?

Gaurav always dreamt of a career in the IT industry and was working hard towards it. Just after his diploma course, he wanted to jump into the IT industry and learn real-time things on web development projects rather than pursuing further studies.

He started preparations to enter the software field as a PHP/Web Developer but failed to crack the interviews. However, being self-motivated and confident, he did not lose hope.

He was fascinated with the internet, Google’s way of helping users, and the eCommerce space. Fortunately, he stumbled upon SEO/internet marketing openings for freshers in Ahmedabad. He started gathering details on what SEO is, how it can help him, and what skills are required to begin his career in the field.

He started researching it on Google, and it caught all his attention.

SEO interested him, and he was sure to begin his career in SEO. So, Gaurav started giving interviews to some of the reputed marketing companies. One day, one of his friends referred him to an SEO consultant freelancing for his clients. Gaurav grabbed the learning opportunity and began to work.

After a few months learning and practical experience, he was assigned projects like link generation through commenting on industry-specific forum websites, blog post idea generation, and publishing articles on microblogging sites like WordPress, Blogpost, and others.

That’s how he started a career in digital marketing, and he did not look back!
