Will said! Nobody talks about the skills needed! Everybody is talking about the results while nobody is talking about the process.

Thank You for sharing this. 2 key take aways 1. Learn how to sell 2. Become an Expert in your craft

Okay I’m so glad to see someone opposing the other videos. Telling people that they need “zero experience in marketing” to start a digital marketing firm… HUGE red flag. It’s discrediting the people who are working their butts off to learn it and who are actually providing people with quality service. Great video, thank you for your honesty!

I love this Aaron! I've literally been writing up some points to talk about this in a new video of mine. Even becoming a freelancer or consultant for those who don't want to run an agency - can be still be tough, it's again - undersold. Great post and keep em coming! 👌

this makes way more sense ! this is the missing ingredient in all the videos i've watched so far ! thanks so much aaron!

Such a breath of fresh air Aaron, It's literally a conveyor belt strategy with this "arbitrage" method. Your work will look very generic and inconsistent I'd imagine, since you won't have a stable team. I couldn't in good conscience charge clients a premium price while paying someone from a poorer country very little to then pocket the profits for myself. I know that's literally what most businesses do with cheap labour. I'm hopefully going to start my own digital agency within the next few years, I am currently doing my MSc international marketing but did my undergrad in commercial photography. So product Photography is what I specialise in but I also do graphic and web design. At the moment while I'm studying I'm building up my website with client work, which I'm actually doing for one of my Modules at university. I have a few friends that are freelancers so if I were to do the whole hiring freelancers it would be them I'd go to, and I would also get involved myself and learn about their craft so I actually have a clue of what they do so I can create project briefs for them. Yeah I won't become a millionaire but I'd be doing something I love and to a higher standard. To make a business like this takes time and it needs a solid foundation not a weak one that will burn out quickly

I've been trying to learn as much as possible about digital marketing for a good while. And yes, people or YouTubers are really making marketing look very "Sprezzatura". Thank you, Aaron for making this clear, for me and many others who are new in this industry.

I’ve just began to show interest in digital marketing. My main worry is delivering the service that the client will have spent money on, I decided I’m going to work in my friends agency for a few months in different positions just to learn the in’s and out’s. The get rich quick mindset is a good motivator but can be the very reason an aspiring entrepreneur might never have longevity for their service and business overall. Thanks for your honesty, hard legitimate work pays off!

I work as freelance account manager and strategist. I always wondered why on Upwork there were so many people looking for media buyers with the exact same descriptions and $500 a client offer. After a while I started to see the videos and put two and two together. No wonder so many of my clients had these horribly managed accounts and clueless agencies. It's truly a pandemic of fake businesses. Appreciate you addressing this.

Really good facts in this video! Running an agency isn't easy! We currently deal with at least 2 - 3 clients each month alone who have had a poor website design done by an inexperienced web designer.

the most honest type of video on this i have seen to date. love it

Finally someone put words to the thoughts running through my head while doing one of these course. Thank you Aaron!

Thanks. Good to find someone finally talking sense.

Mind blowing. Thank you that you live in our era!

that's a very honest video, from someone whos is just jumping into the industry, you just gained a subscriber, keep up the good work.

Thank you Aaron, For guiding us to the right path. It is sad that we are parting ways as I prefer Social Media Management rather than Google ads but still Thank you 🌟

Aaron, I couldn't agree more with you! I've been in the industry for 12 years, owning an agency for 6 years (before it got "cool"), and unfortunately, we're the ones that have to deal with these "agencies" because we pick up the pieces from these people taking money from businesses who have no idea what they're doing. Great video! I appreciate your content

Good topic. Its taken me 10 years to grow our agency & learn Google Ads. Thank for the great content

I 100% agree with you. I spent 6 years in my service company, 3 years practicing PPC, work with hundreds of shops and distribute film to my industry AND tint about 350-500 cars a year. I still felt very under skilled to offer PPC work to other shops. When they say it’s easy to make 10,000 a month I wish they would talk about the length of that client. It is not easy to scale and you need to know many skills to offer a digital marketing agency.
