To leverage and scale a successful career in digital learning, I have found that we start with three top items: 1. Create a professional social media profile on LinkedIn/FB 2. Cultivate that profile with daily posts 3. Follow and connect with folks who are already successful in this space Also consider the next three items: 1. Use collaboration with an AI Assistant to speed up your writing process 2. Join groups in these spaces that will provide you with digital networking connections 3. Always be ready to experiment based on the information you learn in these spaces

Get started on platforms like Coursera or Udemy to help you learn some fundamentals to back up your University degree. (You need the U degree first). Post the certificate and digital badges you receive from these courses on your profile to cultivate the ethos I discussed in the previous answer.

If you want to be a learning analyst, you will need to learn how to use data analysis tools such as Excel, R, or Tableau, as well as statistical methods such as descriptive, inferential, or predictive analytics. If you want to be a digital marketer, you will need to learn how to use digital marketing tools such as Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Ads, or Mailchimp, as well as digital marketing strategies such as SEO, SEM, or email marketing.

4 Build your portfolio and network

One of the best ways to showcase your skills and experience in digital learning is to build a portfolio and a network. A portfolio is a collection of your digital learning projects that demonstrate your abilities and achievements. A network is a group of contacts and connections that can help you find opportunities and referrals. You can build your portfolio by creating your own digital learning projects, volunteering for non-profit organizations or online platforms, or participating in online challenges or competitions. You can build your network by attending online events and webinars, joining online groups and forums, or reaching out to potential mentors and peers.

Share. Give back. Teach. Take what you have learned and find ways to share this with others. Start a BLOG, Post on social media, write a book, present at conferences, publish articles, start a Youtube channel, and so on. This will not only promote the topic you are an expert on, but you are also building your own brand. Some of the options I listed above have monetary potential. The others can be leveraged.
