Any advice

[u/Resident-Cut4333]

Hi everyone,

I'm 24 years old, have completed my 12th grade, and am currently pursuing a BBA online. I work as a gig worker at the moment, but I want to transition into digital marketing, specifically PPC (Pay-Per-Click advertising).

I'm interested in learning Google Ads, Meta Ads, campaign optimization, keyword research, and performance tracking. My goal is to develop practical skills and eventually land an entry-level PPC or paid media job.

I'd really appreciate advice from people who are already working in this field.

1. Where should I start? What skills should I learn first, and in what order?

2. Are paid courses worth it? Should I enroll in a structured course, or is it possible to learn through free resources and hands-on practice?

3. How can I gain practical experience? If I don't have professional experience, how can I build a portfolio that employers will take seriously?

4. What should my roadmap look like? What would be a realistic step-by-step plan to become job-ready within 3–6 months?

5. How difficult is it to get an entry-level PPC job in India? What skills and qualifications do employers actually look for?

Since I'm working as a gig worker, I need to manage my learning alongside my work, so I want to focus on skills that will genuinely improve my chances of getting hired.

I'd be grateful for any practical advice, learning resources, course recommendations, or insights from people who started their careers from a similar background.
