Currently working a typical office 9-5 while in the early stages of my eCommerce/Amazon business. The problem is...
The daily morning drive fills me with dread.
The last 2 years have taught me nothing new, each day follows the same brain-rotting repetitive routine, and the pay is ok.
The goal now is switch to a path that interests me. A field which I enjoy enough to develop a marketable skill while growing my business over the next couple of years. For me, that's PPC marketing/advertising.
After sending my hopeful CVs out though, the response has been crickets chirping punctuated with rejection emails.
I've got experience freelance writing/content marketing online, which isn't highly relevant, but shows I'm no stranger to the digital marketing world.
This thread will be used to track my actions and progress towards breaking into the field.
What I am doing + What I plan on doing:
Guys on the forum who are in the PPC/marketing game:
@Andy Black @CoreyinMN @eliquid
1) How did you get to where you are now?
2)What's the best way to transition into the field as newbie?
3) What's the number 1 thing to learn (show I know)
Here's a link to my current CV:

What I am doing + What I plan on doing:
- Completed adwords fundamentals. Now working through Google analytics
- Brushing up my Microsoft Excel skills because they suck!
- Growing a Facebook page for my wife's tutoring biz
- Getting my feet wet with Amazon PPC for my product
- End of year objective: A close relative owns a used van dealership, 1-2 employees, 30k revenue, average copy, unoptimized CTAs, definitely room for improvement. I aim to use Google Ads to make a significant dent to his profits and ad this campaign to my portfolio.
