how the fuck to I learn this shit ASAP, I need resources, I need the rundown... please help. Who does this shit? What are the shortcuts? what is the bulllshit? How do I succeed at it. This is my foot in the door to the wealthiest organization/person I’ll ever have access to.
This is not the place to look for valuable information on that subject. Try googling but with site:reddit.com before your search term to look up reddit threads from people who've done similar work and talked about it
Best of luck to you buddy

1. Ask him what your responsibilities are 2. do those things, then go to step 1
if you can follow those two steps congrats, you're literally more effective than 50% of the office work force
Dylan Peterson
Just say yes. Odds are he wants to offload mundane computer shit on you (which is exactly what I do to my employees). You’re 18 he doesn’t expect you to know anything. Just show up and work hard.
Cooper Young
Take business management courses at a community college.
Takes 2 years in USA. Can be done in 1.5 years in Canada.
If you live outside either of those countries just kys.
Daniel Thompson
he said he'd send you to classes for it or whatever, chill lad how hard could being a 'digital marketing manager' be anyways
>shortcuts Hard work. Dont fuck it up and be thankful you got this opportunity. Be honest with him and ask him exactly what you need to learn and then devote yourself to it
William Lopez
Unironically work 12+ hours a week for this guy while doing your own education (marketing, programming, etc) on the side.
Lucas Morales
You're on Zig Forums so you're already better with a computer than like 90% of the populace. Take his offer, take classes, and just do a good job user. This is boomer tier opportunity, you should take it.
Kevin Green
he is going to fuck your ass and turn you into his gay fuck toy. this is how they start. they give you "opportunities".
pepper your anus
Oliver Sanchez
this
he sees you busing tables, he's not going to expect you to know what you're doing. just show up on time, work hard, and dont complain.
Angel Cooper
Figure it out as you go and just do your absolute best. If you got inside you what he thinks is in there, it’ll come naturally.
Xavier Long
Another typical zoomer who needs to be spoonfed how to move up in the world & wants "shortcuts"
Lmao u did it, digital marketing is a secret life hack to get clients to pay u for learning/knowing something they’re too busy to lookup, which really takes like 4hrs to master.
Here have him buy u a course at detailed.com for SEO that’s pretty much all u need to know, or jobkilling.com for lead gen
Gratz fren
Jonathan Taylor
He already got the shortcut, he's just retarded and will probably fuck it up. That's why we need to tell him to not fuck it up.
I want tips that are typically hard to find on reddit etc This place is good at cutting to the chase about certain realities, I like it. I’ve been pretty much on my own and working since I was 14, fuck you millenial.
Charles Rogers
Relax. People like to invest in people. Don’t worry about walking in knowing everything. Sounds like he sees potential in you, not for your qualifications but for the way you think. That is more common than you would ever imagine. Rarely does anybody get hired off qualification, that’s not what he is giving you the job for. You’ll start to understand this more as you’re older. You’d be shocked how retarded people are in general. More importantly, you want to work on building logical arguments and logical thinking. That will enable you to tackle any problem, digital marketing included. Don’t worry so much about how to maximize digital marketing at this point, start to think for yourself - why is digital marketing important? What is the goal of digital marketing (obvious answer)? How do you maximize value for him? How do you start to track success? How do you define success? What are the goals of the business? I’m not throwing buzzwords at you. Spend your time thinking about how you articulate a strategy, and the execution of that strategy will come naturally.
Juan White
Thank you, sir. This is good advice. I will work through these questions...
Isaiah Lopez
No problem kid. I am sort of like you, shit family grew up poor and I am now 25 and work in fortune 100 after somebody took a chance on me. It’s a lot to take in, and that’s understandable. You are best suited with building your logical thinking skills. Start with “in a perfect world, here is what success looks like for this role”. He should be able to help you define what that success looks like. Once you have a “North Star” so to speak to go towards, work backward from there. This is called a top down approach. Once you have your high level goals in place, create action plans. These action plans are where you can focus in on delivering those goals. This works because if you stick to the mission you can always follow the logical path of why certain plans are going to benefit. That’s going to help you the most, and it’s a skill that will help you with many different things in life, not just this job. Wish you the best of luck kid, you are smart to see the opportunity and want to capitalize on it.
Isaiah Robinson
I’m phonefagging and went off of WiFi and my ID changed, that was me. Again, best of luck kid.
William Nelson
Go here blackhatworld.com/forums/ and ask the same question. This is not a place for good advice on this subject. That forum used to be good haven’t frequented in a while since moving to the buy side.
Ayden Diaz
People in general are fucked. This guy knows - that if he can get a good guy - he can skill him up good. And he'll be a good guy with skills. No one wants to work with a fucked guy with skills once they've made it - life is too short for that sort of poison. Be the hardest working guy there for two years - say yes to all tasks. See the bigger picture Good luck
Sebastian King
be careful he doesnt try to have sex with you
Austin Lee
I feel bad that nobody took your bait. So here's you updoot.
Gavin Parker
OP this is how people get jobs. By not being a turbo autist and actually meeting people, you find opportunities and you take one that looks promising when it comes along.
Josiah Jenkins
>be careful Don’t worry, I’m not brain dead like yourself. I can interact with society without getting raped. That must suck though... Sorry you keep getting fucked in the ass bro
Thomas Allen
Also this guy has already made it and doesn't give a fuck, most likely. He's looking to mentor someone. OP should be open with the guy and ask him these questions directly instead of being a bitch
Jose Barnes
I am open to the guy, how do you think he came to like me? Of course I’ve talked it over with him, he doesn’t do jack shit with SEO on his day to day, this is just one job opening that he has, he doesn’t know the ins and outs of it. He employs hundreds of people. In his mind, it’s just some mindless job that his company has been interviewing over educated buzzword fags & women for, from what it sounds.
That said, I still want to walk in and crush my position, I’ve already consumed a bunch of material about this position all over the internet. I wanted to see if any random biz bros have some good advice, which I did get from the one user.
This opportunity was literally a luck of the draw. The stars aligned, something opened up that will likely never happen again. I’m retarded, but I’m a smart enough retard to see a great opportunity when it comes along. People scramble like little bitches around this guy all over the golf club, everyone knows who he is, everyone wants a seat at his table. He took a liking to me, I take him as he is and never scrambled like a silly faggot, I never knew who he was.
Caleb Ramirez
You got the jobby?
Isaiah Lee
If no larp take it. Literally a once in a lifetime
