INTERNET MARKETING :-Internet marketing is the fastest growing and most exciting branch of marketing today. as the world becomes ever more connected, keeping up with developments and trends is vital for marketers trying to reach new audiences – who are more discerning, fragmented and cynical than ever. technology and software are changing at such a high rate that it seems almost impossible to keep up with trends. Products and services are evolving and adapting to the online sphere. the web is constantly shifting, growing and changing – everything is fleeting.
1. the field is growing and will become the largest and most important marketing sector in coming years.
2. the growth will be driven by new innovations in technology.
on top of that, web users are becoming more aware and marketing savvy, and their attention spans are shortening as desirable content becomes ever more quickly available. this market is more likely to challenge, debate and denigrate a brand – but it is also more likely to share good content and products with an exponentially growing social circle.
FREELANCER :-As a freelancer, you get to be your own boss. Nothing beats working from anywhere, making your own hours, and doing work that you love.
But when you’ve been at it for a while, you’ll probably begin to ask yourself questions like, “Where is this going? Will I be doing the same things 5, 10 years from now? How can I earn more? How can I do more?”
Unfortunately (or fortunately?), freelancers don’t live by the same rules as the corporate world. We can’t simply work hard and get a promotion to a corner office with a higher salary and more responsibility.
Want a raise? You can raise your rates …Until you hit your ceiling. That’s the point at which your clients can no longer afford you and you’re not attractive to larger clients because they only hire agencies.
Or you can take on more work …Until you run out of hours in the day (or burn yourself out).
So if you’re freelancing, how can you level up so you can earn more, do more, and grow both personally and professionally?
