You can be a digital marketer and still take your skills a step further by learning data analysis to become a digital marketing analyst.

A digital marketer who is also a data analyst is HOT CAKE in the tech ecosystem.


Good thought

Data analysis. That's a tech skill. A science. Digital marketing is an art. Which means it is rubbish.

In data analysis, 1 + 1 = 2. In digital marketing, there are no definite answers. It is trash. I've done it. It's nonsense. You're better off being an astrologer.

Do data analysis. If you have the brains for it sha.

Excuse me sir.

What do you mean trash?

It seems you have a bad experience with digital marketing.
Re: Digital Marketing Or Data Analysis, Which Part Should I Choose? by OlasunkanmiSM(m): 8:24pm On Apr 13, 2022
Try to do a research on both of them including their applications and how to benefit from them.

The choose which one is best for you.

Make sure you stay absolutely focused and committed on whichever one you choose.

Both are Profitable skills and can fetch you good income

It's not trash per se. But compared to data analysis, it is trash.

Good morning Professionals

Please, I need your advice on this issue.

My passion is to be a Human Resource Personnel but I'm currently working as a student recruitment officer for a traveling agency and I'm also volunteering for a consulting firm as a recruitment intern. I want to have a tech skill that will serve as a side or mainstream of income.

A good nairalander shared his Udemy log in detail with me to learn data analysis, my current company is also training me on email and social media marketing and I also came across a google digital marketing course I can learn for free. I'm confused about which one I should major in between digital marketing and data analysis



Thanks
Learn digital marketing because it is all encompassing. Data analysis is a subset of digital marketing.

Mastering digital marketing makes you a consultant or specialist and you can make money online at the flip of finger.

I don't know what your past experiences with digital marketing is but not all data analysts earn more than some digital marketers.

Both are good ways to earn income.

Of course, I meant on average.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry is a digital marketer nowadays. It's like the English Degree of the remote world.

I am sorry to say that you are wrong. Digital marketing is good but data analysis is not a subset of digital marketing. Infact Digital marketing analysis (example: Google Analytics) is a subset of data analysis.

God helping me, I intend to train and mentor some would be data analysts right here.

Excel

P.s. if you have any materials to help me on VBA and PYTHON edakun epp me
I don't have materials on VBA. My interest for now is on Python. The resources I use are in my comment below.

BIDOO:

Please can you mentor me on this? It has been a passion for some years back till date but I can't help it! I am in my finals studying psychology but I always have the urge to fill that vacuum at any slight opportunity. Thanks

I have always had interest in tech but I am just delving into data science field myself so I don't think that I am qualified to mentor yet.

For now, my focus is on Python for data analysis (because from my research, it is easier to learn than R).

I started learning python programming about two years ago but I stopped after less than a month because I got distracted with other stuff but I have just recently decided to return and focus on D. Analysis.

There are good online resources.
FreeCodeCamp (Data analysis with python) is completely free. They have several beginner-friendly videos on YouTube that can guide you through. It's what I use for now.

There are also Codecademy and DataCamp but they are not completely free.

DataCamp in my opinion, is the best of all because they strictly focus on data science but sadly only the first chapters of their courses are free. To go deeper, one would need to pay a subscription fee and I can't remember how much.

You need to master SQL also then start building your portfolio i.e working on projects. You can share your skills and portfolio on LinkedIn so that potential Employers can see them.

No one can tell you what to learn, of the two you mentioned which one do you really have passion for? Tech is not always about the money it's about what you have passion for then earning from it. I started as a website designer but as time goes on I lost the passion for it, I love maths and analytical thinking so I dived into data science but right now I'm taking some courses on data analytics. If you are someone that loves solving complex problems and you know a little bit of mathematics them go for data analysis If not go for digital marketing since you said your current company is training you on Email and social media marketing.

Hmmm! Please, go online and Google "is data analysis part of marketing" and "the difference between digital marketing and data analysis." Get acquainted with the information you find and come back here to clarify. I'm willing to learn.

In all modesty, I own and run fullstack digital marketing agency and I am a facilitator/CEO of a digital marketing training program. So, I should be abreast of tech trends. Except there is something I am missing here.

Educate me.

Again thanks for the revert. Bro, I don't need to go online to ask those questions.

Your thesis that "data analysis is a sub of digital marketing because digital marketing involves data analysis" is as fallacious as saying that "medicine is a sub of anatomy because it involves anatomy".

Let me explain further to you, that most of the tools that you use as a digital marketer rely on the data analytics tools (softwares) that were built with the help of digital scientists who built models to predict or classify user behaviours based on certain predictors such as user demographics or historical preferences.

Data science is too big to be a sub of digital marketing even though digital marketing cannot survive without data analysis.
