I was already working an offline marketing job (door-to-door) in 2005, right after I passed my 10th exam, to make some pocket money before I entered the digital marketing world.

I have done a marketing job for a Private Library to get the students’ registration, and I used to earn commissions.

I also did marketing work for a coin-operated telephone (PCO) in 2006.

I then did a marketing job for a few months in Eureka Forbes to sell the vacuum cleaner, and I also did postpaid connection marketing & selling for Airtel.  

I am taking the time to tell you about my offline marketing background because I want you to know my entire journey and why and how I came to this digital marketing industry and stopped here.

Honestly, I was confused about my career. I wanted to hold any suitable position in any company where I could earn a sufficient salary to lead an average life.

I was going through some financial crisis already; I came to Kolkata from Jharkhand in 2009 with dreams of getting a good job, but at that time, I was holding my higher secondary degree only, so I did not get that kind of job I dreamt of, tried a lot but did not work.

Finally, I got a job at Aegis Ltd. as a Customer Service Associate in a domestic call center. 

Since my target was to hold any suitable position in any big firm where I could get at least an average salary to maintain my basic lifestyle, without proper education, it was not working correctly. 

I considered furthering my studies and enrolled in IGNOU in 2012 to acquire a Bachelor of Arts.

After graduating, I also completed an MBA in Marketing from Sikkim Manipal University in 2014.

I thought my master’s degree in marketing and my previous marketing experience, whatever I had, might help me hold a good position in any company, like a senior marketing Executive or Manager. But somehow or other, it also did not work. 

I was disconnected and disturbed about what to do, and one fine day, I browsed on Google “How to Make a Bright Career in Marketing,” and Google showed me something related to digital marketing.

I googled more about it and explored the future scope. I found it fascinating, so I took a course in Digital Marketing in 2014 from Compete Infotech, Salt Lake, Sec V, Kolkata.

Right after completing my course, I started freelancing on Fiverr and Odesk, which is Upwork. I was making money during my freelancing.

At the same time, I joined A1 Future Technology as a Digital Marketing Executive to gain real-time practical experience, working on projects in different industry verticals.  

This is how I began my digital marketing journey in this industry. I have also blogged on Blogger.com during my course for best practices, where I have experienced many more, but that was to teach myself.

I currently work as a Digital Marketing Head for Startup Idols – Digital Marketing Agency specializing in branding, storytelling, and supporting startups to shape them into success stories with exclusive digital marketing services.

Along with this, I am focused on full-time blogging here on Techfee, where I can share proven SEO tips and tricks, best practices, marketing strategies, and the correct method of making money online.

I am not unique here to teach you, but yes, I would love to share all the best practices and actionable digital marketing strategies I have learned so far, which can help you learn and earn your marketing skills.

I am sure these productive skills can help you one day make a full-time or passive income online.
