In today’s digitized era, there are so many avenues for youngsters to build an income stream for themselves, and it has almost become a necessity if you consider Pakistan’s economy. We all use social media on a daily basis, and I’m sure many of us have come across social media gurus promoting a new way of life—breaking free from the 9-5.
The idea sounds great: You’re sitting on a beach in the Maldives, all you need is a laptop and WiFi, and you’re earning thousands of dollars. There’s just one big problem: How do you do it?
What if I told you there’s one skill that can empower you to become your boss, work according to your schedule, and make a hefty salary while doing so? This is the power of Social Media Marketing.
How to Learn Social Media Marketing?
There are a lot of high-profile social media marketing agencies in Karachi where you can go and learn hands-on. Of course, if you’re absolutely new, you will have to join a company’s social media marketing internship program in order to get that foot in the door; however, depending on your performance, that may lead to a future job where you can further hone your skills. However, you may enjoy working with a team so much that you decide to continue working in the agency instead of going solo. If this is the route you would like to take, SI Global also offers many opportunities for social media interns, so follow us on Linkedin and Instagram in order to stay updated and not miss out!
If this is not the route you want to take; due to a lack of time or maybe because you’re already working and instead of quitting your job for an intern role you may or may not enjoy, you can always opt for a social media marketing course. Depending on where you live; you can either opt for a course online or there are many institutes offering social media marketing course in Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
For your convenience, we have prepared an intensive list of courses being offered in Karachi and will hopefully post similar ones for Lahore and Islamabad in the near future!
The list is in no specific order, and none of these companies are affiliated with SI Global.
