Looking for remote position for marketing work! (13)

---

Hey, my name is Tim from NYC. I've been learning and dabbling in marketing for about 2 years now from e-commerce dropshipping to Facebook ads to landing pages, email marketing, and strategy planning.

I've also been looking for jobs in general outside of marketing since big companies in NYC want to hire guys who make millions per day (They always want the "best" yet pay minimum wage). Obviously, I don't fit their requirements but I'd love to work for someone that needs the extra hand in any marketing tasks from research, to data analyzing, to uploading campaigns, etc.

As long as proper instructions are given, there should be no reason why I can't get the job done. I'm willing to negotiate pay and I currently have a flexible schedule. This would be a learning experience for myself and a time saver for you. You will have nothing to lose.

I see a win-win situation, what do you see?

If this sounds ideal to you, please send me a message on skype at timothyyeav@gmail.com or reply to this thread. Thanks!

P.S. I'm one of Charles Ngo's 2018 AFFceletor student and I want to be serious about affiliate marketing, which is another reason why I want to work for someone while building my own empire. It doesn't make sense to work for another job that doesn't relate to AM.

Have you checked out affjobs.com?

Best of luck in your search! It sounds like you possess a lot of valuable skills.

Thanks Amy! Btw, I'm going through your 40-day noobie guide. I appreciate your time and effort for that.

And yes, I've checked Affjobs, however they require a professional resume. I'm not exactly sure how to fix my resume for affiliate marketing specifically for those job positions since I haven't worked for any companies yet, but I was hoping that someone on STM would make the foot in the door process a lot easier.

Thanks for using the 40-day tutorial!

A resume does not have to include past job positions that are related. Listing relevant skills can be valuable as well. I've hooked people up with jobs in the past where the only criteria were "anyone that you think is a fast-learner and is willing to relocate". So - you never know!

But if you're not feeling it, then perhaps it's not the right time. Why not start by listing some of your skills right here?

You telling me that makes me feel a lot more confident.

My skills:

-Intermediate level of HTML & CSS along with some very basic JQuery. (Took classes in college & went to a 10-day immersive course in Bali with the Institute of Code.
-Landing page creation with input form using SaS such as Clickfunnels.
-Understanding Email marketing analytics and strategy.
-Understanding Copywriting and using persuasive techniques
-Split testing headlines + analytical results for data-driven decisions to cut or keep ads, landing pages, etc.
-eCommerce drop shipping: Finding great suppliers, communication between suppliers and customers, fulling orders, connecting payment gateways, utilizing apps, customizing store themes for higher conversions.
-Understanding the usage of scarcity, countdown timers, social proof, reviews, videos, high-quality images to increase conversions for eCommerce.
-Proficient in Google Excel, docs, drive, translate, photos and Gmail.
-Basic graphic design and creatives using Canva.
-Basic video editing skills using iMovie app, Sony Vegas, and Wondershare Filmora.
-Social media automation using paid software.
-Powerful communication between different parties and follow-ups.
-Market research with Google and spy tools.
-Using organization tool such as Trello to organize necessary tasks.
-Understanding how sales work and convert between people to people.
-The willingness to learn more, network, and even relocate for a fantastic congruent work team.

There might be more I didn't list but this is essentially what I've been learning and implementing. Now it's time to bring my skills to another company where both parties can win.

I'm more than open to try new things within Affiliate marketing as long as I get to talk about it all day every day with it.

What would you recommend that I could do with these skills while applying?

Pretty solid list of skills actually

Well, just write a "cover" letter that sums them up and mentions how you acquired these skills. I guess you've been doing some work for the past few years, so mention it there. Maybe you have samples of work to show, in order to prove your skills.

Starting with an internship type of job or a junior position, might be a good way to start. Once you prove yourself, you shouldn't have a problem to climb up quickly.

A solid skill set, but all of these are mid to low end roles that an outsourced worker could easily fill. No hiring manager is going to pay a westerner to make intermediate html changes or edit videos.

To make money your going to need a skill set that’s closely aligned to revenue generating areas and in affiliate marketing that’s media buying

Which is why I'm looking for an intern/entry level position. I want to get my foot in the door, show value, commitment, learn fast then implement. How does one even get the experience without having the experience? I'm still a learning student and I'm want to grow as fast as possible.

---

I agree with matuloo - that's a pretty solid set of skills!

One question: Are you wanting to eventually strike out on your own and run campaigns on your own, and just want to get a relevant job to further your learning first? Or are you the type to want to make a consistent income by providing services?

Because if you're the former type, I would suggest for you to just start a follow-along and get coaching that way.



Amy

Yes, I want to be able to learn right now with a growing company and then run my own campaigns as time goes. The plan is while I'm learning and generating income to be able to invest in my own campaigns and software tools.

Does this sound ideal? If so, how can I go this route?

---

Alright got you!

My speculation is that most affiliates that are looking to expand their team, won't be too thrilled by your proposition - simply because you can be a potential competitor once you've learned enough to run campaigns on your own (even while you're still being employed), UNLESS the affiliate is running private offers exclusively, or have exclusive deals on traffic - some edge that you won't have access to. Otherwise, there would be nothing preventing you from running the same campaigns they are. And after investing time to teach you how to do your job, you would leave, so it wouldn't be a good investment of their time and effort.

So your best bet, I feel, would be to join a company that has their own products/services. That way there won't be any conflict of interest, and you'll be able to learn the trade without risking your own capital.

If I were you, I would start contacting companies that are hiring junior media buyers for example (or similar jobs/titles). When you're applying, I wouldn't suggest to tell them about your plans to learn and leave - my guess is it wouldn't go down too well.

And if you can work in a niche where there are affiliate programs that pay generous commissions, then you may be able to run similar campaigns using similar angles in the future after you leave your job. DISCLAIMER: When joining a company, read your contract very carefully to make sure there's nothing in there that would prevent you to running your own campaigns in the same niche later on. Also, "borrowing" advertising angles etc. may have legal consequences - I'm not a lawyer and can't advise in that area. But just please be careful.

And running similar campaigns during the same time period you're working the job may be problematic for the same reason - again, please look into that before accepting the job.

You can also start meeting other people in this industry to build up a network - more opportunities will open up for you when you know a lot of people, whether it be employment opportunities or intel/ideas on how to run your own camps. Go to local meetups (or even organize your own, but be prepared to pay for beers!) Go to conferences. Etc.

In the meantime, why not still continue to run camps yourself? You've already dabbled in this for 2 years. Maybe buckling down and really focusing will give that last boost you need to find success. You may hit on some profits finally and decide you don't need a job after all.

Either way - best of luck Tim! A man of your skills will end up somewhere someday. Lots of opportunities about.

That makes perfect sense. I didn't realize my competition was going to be someone I was going to work for. I'll keep this mental note but it was definitely good to hear this from someone who have had the experience. I seriously appreciate the effort in helping me out.
