Digital skills goes beyond just operating your smart phone unfortunately am just within the ability of operating my smart phone and i don't really find it funny, it makes me feel ashamed sometimes but the fact still remains that if i remain in my space definitely i can't achieve anything.
If i can even operate a laptop i think i would have gotten some basic skills that would have helped me go a very long way as an entrepreneur.
There is an adage in my state that says that whenever a person wakes up happens to be his morning and if he is determined he will also reach his set goals, so what matters is make some moves and be serious about it.
In this content i will let my friends know the digital skills i love to have beyond operating my phone, how this skill would have helped me and my goals to get those skills.
HOW COME?
one might be wondering how come I say i don't know how to navigate a laptop but thats the honest truth, yes there are centers everyone where both adults are children are trained on how to operate a laptop and gain some skills but unfortunately life challenges and circumstances has never allowed me to get to that.
I never owned a laptop to start with, even a good smart phone was something i achieved lately, is not something to brag about and it doesn't sound good writing about it either but that's just how I met myself.
The skills i wanted.
As an entrepreneur am always on the lookout for things or strategies that will help me build my brand and business, I have some products I sell on social media page like Facebook, Instagram and watspp status.
Only if i had a digital marketing skills i know i would have done better, the major digital marketing skill i am interested in is creating a personal website as well as knowing how to manage my website.
That would help my products go viral, i will also be able to know how people really feel about the products i sell and other needed adjustments.
A friend of mine who has a website of her own makes sales that amount to thousands of dollars on monthly basis, she has direct contact with customers and this helps her to know peoples feedback on her products, she has reached a certain mile of her goal because of the digital marketing skills she have.
If i am an experienced SEO (Search engine optimization) i will not just have a website i will know how to place wherever customer can access it more than that of others, thats why even on Facebook marketplace some people's products are being featured more than that of others, and also the traffic on marketing website is far more than that of social media, because marketing website helps your product ad to apear in so many social media pages.
Sometimes i scroll online and i see people who run business campaigns and this helps there product to reach so many people, i as well thank i would have been running campaigns from time to time, because no matter how good and quality your goods are, there is need to let the world know what you sell.
Another digital marketing skill i love is data analytics, this will have helped me to track my progress, no if am really making progress or not, if i need to think of new strategy, if my competitors strategy is much better than mine and many other things data analytics skil will help me to achieve.
You need to place your goods on top of the roof for the world to see it.
Digital marketing skills would have helped me to reach some financial goals in life, but its not too late.
I also love graffic design skills and photo editing, somethings you will see same product but the picture will be so attractive and this attract the attention of customers, they will want to check the specifications of such beautiful pictures and also want to make some purchase.
the fact, even children in preschool have some amazing digital skills, in the next 5 years am sure any who doesn't make attempt to move ahead with the world technology will be left behind and that's not going to be me, yes its very difficult because things are extremely expensive but its a goal, an important goal that i must reach because it would improve my life and business so much.
Tho lack financial support has been my problem, but lately I got a gift if a laptop from a friend who i always lament to about how bad i need a laptop, at least that's a one step to my goal, I have set the goal that i will at least get to know some basis on laptop then i will gradually proceed.
