I'm asking out of curiosity mostly.

Is anyone here into digital marketing? That's what I'm studying for right now.

Programming. What made you choose digital marketing?

What kind of programming are you into? Do you enjoy it?

Thanks for asking.

My strengths lay in a love of knowledge, analytics, and my inquisitive mind. I love to see how things are connected to one another and how the system(s) is laid out. I'm often a big picture kinda guy. And have a desire to help others out when I can. Something I learned about myself about a decade ago, was that I can genuinely feel excited for others when they do well. Which is kind of a hack when you're diagnosed with depression, and perhaps for my anxiety.

Digital marketing checks off all of those things. There is always something to be learned or improved, Google's search ranking criteria are changed a few times a year, so there seems to never be a dull moment in the field. And just like IT or programming, being specialized in a few things is great. So I'm looking to become an expert in SEO, Local SEO, keyword/phrase ranking, and backlink generation.

The selfish part is that I realized that nearly all of the digital marketing things were things that I would benefit from knowing since I desire to start my company sometime soon. It also benefits my plan to be able to make a few hundred dollars a month through online sales of items.
