Online Marketing is not a mere skill that one picks up from a few years of classes and an "#SEO" job.
A TRUE Marketing Professional has acummulated years of online marketing expertise. Mostly on their own from self education. From playing online video games to their first time having to figure out how to create html code. This was way before the days of automated coding. Before the existence of online businesses or the notion promoting online.
Once Facebook hit the social media scene. It totally revolutionized everything online. Facebook set the stage for the term, 'online marketing.' It created an endless spring of new ideas and strategies for NEW Marketing Methods.
Because of my 13+ years of Professional online experience and my 17 years of self education. I am proud to call myself a TRUE ONLINE PROFESSIONAL.
