Most people who want to learn digital marketing start by watching 100 YouTube videos.
Then they open Google Ads or Meta Ads and realise they still don't know what they're doing.
Because learning how to use an ad platform and learning how to think like a marketer are two very different things.
If you're starting from scratch, don't worry about spending $100/day or getting your first 10 customers.
Start small.
Learn how the funnel works.
Understand CTR, CPC, conversion rate, CPA and ROAS.
Set up proper tracking.
Run small experiments.
Analyse what happened.
Then change one thing and run the next experiment.
That's how you actually learn paid advertising.
I put together a beginner-friendly guide covering exactly where to start, how much you should spend, which metrics to track, what to learn first, and how to build practical experience.
