Digital Marketers are in higher demand than ever! I’m sure that you’ve seen the job postings posting nearly every day.
But how can you distinguish yourself from the hundreds (or thousands) of applicants for every job posting?
Marketing is an interesting profession, as people come from all kinds of backgrounds, and can use their skills in hundreds of ways! Anyone can apply for a job, or for a promotion, but how can they prove that they are able and capable of doing that job?
Marketing has very few standards or rules – it’s not engineering!
This is why certification is so critical.
The advantage of certification is that it validates your knowledge across a variety of in-demand disciplines. Without certification, the only method of validating knowledge is experience. And we all know that there are many people who have been in a position but had little no experience – even after leaving the position!
This is why companies like Proctor & Gamble only hire OMCA certified marketers. The certification means that they have not only been trained but that they have passed an examination that tests and validates their knowledge across the primary skillset.
But there is still something missing.
Training is good, certification is great, but would you like to be trained and evaluated through real-world activities rather than a multiple-choice test? I don’t know about you, but I hate tests – especially multiple-choice tests. And in the corporate world, in marketing, when do we ever take tests??
I’ve seen too many good marketers that may have only focused in one area and then got passed over for promotion because they didn’t have the knowledge or skills to move up to management. They needed to know the entire digital marketing spectrum to get that promotion!
When I view most job postings, they are asking for experience across every area of digital marketing.
How can you confidently apply for that job and say, “I can do that!”
Certification is how.
But first, let's chat about why digital marketing is in such high demand right now.
The digital marketing industry is estimated at $322.5 Billion (Billion with a B) and is projected to reach $640 billion in less than 5 years! That’s double the size of the current market!
Where will marketers and the next managers come from?
When lockdown started in 2020, the volume of Google searches for “digital marketing certification” went through the roof!
LinkedIn Learning alone saw a 200% increase in certification course demand, and it’s not slowing down. If you are already thinking, “Oh no, I’m already too late…” you’re wrong.

Watching video is not learning. Simply putting a lecture on video with PowerPoint slides is not an effective method of teaching. Our brains can only retain so much – typically only 10 minutes of a 60-minute lecture.
Spend anytime scrolling through support groups for digital marketing training, and you'll quickly find a bunch of posts like this:
"It's so dry and boring!"
"I'm confused. I wish they would use plain language."
"It took me 3 attempts to get certified, and I had to pay for each exam!"
"If I have to watch one more video....I'm going to scream!"
It’s devastating to hear the stories of people investing so much into a course, only to become bored or overwhelmed with the amount of content they have to consume. It’s a one-way learning experience.
People learn by doing.
Experts are made through action.
I should know, I develop, create, and record content for most of the top digital marketing courses on the market. Once I deliver the videos, that’s all they want.
The experts you actually deal with are people with a few years in the industry, but with little real brand, agency, or SMB experience.
The whole point of having an expert is to provide you with a mentor that can answer questions beyond the simple “how to do this?”
Having a real coach or mentor provides you the ability to ask the real questions about expectations in a high-performance job role. Or, the realities of starting your own business. The experts provided in those courses can’t answer those questions.
There are many “certification” courses out there. The OMCA is a certification from an independent third-party standards organization. The OMCA is made up of Marketing executives from Fortune 500 companies, practitioners, and educators who meet regularly to update the standards and expected competencies of digital marketers.
The OMCA certifies educational courses and certifies marketers who pass the exam. This course will give you a certificate upon successful completion, but the purpose of that certificate is to meet the requirements of the OMCA exam.
This program is for marketers looking to take the next step in their career without wasting time and money.
Digital Marketing: Core Skills is a highly-involved comprehensive program that will guide you through the primary digital marketing disciplines and how they integrate into a single, strategic plan.
This course is engineered from the ground up to not only increasing your digital marketing skills, but to develop the human skills that are so valuable in the corporate environment. The persuasion, presentation, and personal skills that hiring managers seek, and are your key to promotions and bonuses.
This program mixes live coaching, value-driven on-demand training, and exceptional community support.
Digital Marketing: Core Skills is not just a course. You won't be left behind with more questions than answers and this program certainly isn't for folks who aren't ready to accelerate their career.

Talk to someone who's been there and done that and get any last-minute details before starting the course.

At this stage of the journey, being overloaded with digital marketing knowledge is going to do you more damage than good. You’ve probably watched a ton of how-to videos and seen so many methods that it can sping you in circles for months. This is why the training plan is so powerful. Every piece of content inside (which you get access to as soon as we start) is designed purely to help you put everything in perspective and develop each skill sequentially and in context with the previous lessons. There is no fluff.
Oh, and you get access for an entire year
But the real secret to success here is how you use The Training Plan. You see, you're not just expected to watch the content (that won't get you anywhere). You're expected to DO the content. And in Digital Marketing: Core Skills, we use a signature process I've developed called "A.R.C.S." to help you get the most out of the trainings:
A – Awareness. Watch the introductory video content one module at a time.
R – Relate the instruction into your assignments to the best of your ability – really try. allows learners to use different methods to pursue their work and allowing choices in how they organize it.
C – Critique your work by submitting it for feedback and review. It’s a gentle critique, as it is all designed to make you look great!
S – Synthesize what you've learned based on the feedback you receive & see a direct impact in your work.
Then, move onto the next module & repeat the steps. If you follow the ARCS process the entire way through the program, you'll have the absolute best training experience + an immediate impact in your job and work. Far better than you ever expected.
From recommended podcasts, authors and email lists that will build your knowledge network to templates, tools, and helps to make you more efficient, you’ll find everything you need inside the resources pages. Yes, you get access to this for an entire year as well!
The real value of Digital Marketing: Core Skills is in the community we're creating. Over the next year, you'll be surrounded by and supported by marketers just like you. Everyone growing, learning and cheering each other on. We celebrate a lot ... and I mean a lot! Every win is a huge success for us, no matter how big or small.

With everyone moving in the same direction, we won't leave you behind. When you get stuck on a question or need a hand, the Online Course Business Builder community is where you turn to first. We've got your back, and we always will.

Matt Bailey is a digital marketing expert, creating more than $1 billion in revenue for his clients. Over the past few years, he pivoted his agency to teaching and training others how to do the same for their companies.
From Google, Microsoft, Nationwide, and IBM to the Prime Minister’s office of the United Arab Emirates. From printers to motorcycles to travel, Matt has literally covered every niche you can imagine over the years and every time has seen the same success over and over again.
In fact, if you go look at any of the big names in digital marketing training, you'll probably find his content there. All of the major training companies, LinkedIn Learning, Udacity, Udemy, Simplilearn, Duke University, Purdue University. . . if they offer digital marketing training and the OMCA certification, Matt's probably part of the program.
That's because Matt has a reputation for making the complex simple, understandable, and do-able!
The thing people get wrong about digital marketing training, is they think it is all about the sale. But Matt’s approach is different. In a classroom, the most important material isn’t always “in the book.” It’s the conversations and coaching that come from real interactions and genuine relationships.
Real learning is from coaching and encouraging people to be their best and helping them get there. It’s about the education that’s between the lines – the politics of marketing and navigating work culture that watching videos doesn’t cover.
The value of the course isn’t the certification (though that’s important). What makes an impact is how you integrate your knowledge into your corporate culture and get noticed. Those simple, subtle, yet important factors that raise you from average to superstar.
As he recalls his grandmother’s favorite rebuke, “it’s not what you said, it’s how you said it.” Matt constantly relates that it’s not always the knowledge that gets you promoted, but it is how you manage, present, and persuade that gets you noticed. It’s not the hard skills, it’s the human (soft) skills of how you use them.

Let’s just do some quick maths here.
While DM:CS might feel like a big decision for you, here’s how you can expect to make the most of your investment:
Where are you at right now? Where do you want to be?
If you currently earn $50,000 per year, just a 15% raise is an additional $7,500!
and you've paid for this course 2x over.
If you currently earn $50,000 per year, and you land a new job with a 20% increase in salary,
that's an additional $10,000!
But $50K is the low end in the hottest job market ever!
According to Glassdoor, these are the salary ranges for digital marketing jobs - that are hiring right now:
Digital Marketing Analyst: $39K min - $54K Avg. - $70K Max
Digital Marketing Strategist: $48K min - $66K Avg. - $91K Max
Digital Marketing Specialist: $50K min - $65K Avg. - $104K Max

Will this work for me if I have a really busy schedule?

All it takes is some knowledge and experience & your career takes off. You've probably heard me share this before, but if you're not growing, you're going backwards: "A year from now, you'll be a year older. What are you going to do?"
That question drives me to create a business that I love by helping people to build their careers or grow their own business. It's all about impact & growth for me in this education game.
I have former students in VP roles, digital managers and directors at Fortune 500 companies, even running successful businesses - some retired before they were 50! I love hearing from them about their success.
I'd love to hear the same from you.
So here's one last question for you that might just change your life:
Stop wasting your time struggling to get traction, following cheap marketing advice off blogs, YouTube & Facebook posts and in all the articles. Don't let "the experts" sidetrack you off your big audacious career goals.
Learning digital marketing and communication skills is life-changing.
Let’s get your career started right now!
