Why You Should Learn Digital Skills

 


banner

Yo, I'm so excited to share this with you. All I want to do is to create a point of entry for people who have no idea about the digital marketing world.


At some point in life, you've asked yourself - "What are digital skills", "What is the value of learning a digital skill", "What things will I be entitled to if Iearn"... So, if you have no idea of these things, stay focused! This article is for you.


You might have heard the saying: 'ideas are worthless, execution is everything'. It's true, because those ideas would vanish into thin air if not executed. As we move into an increasingly digital world, having a set of basic digital skills are becoming increasingly vital.


Most job adverts nowadays require some form of digital skill. Coupled with the fact that some digital knowledge provides a gateway to a better job, it seems almost essential to have these skills. Despite being such an important area of our lives, too many people remain completely ignorant as to what these skills are, how useful they are and how to actually learn them.


Now what are digital skills?

Simply put, digital Skills are defined as the overall ability to find, evaluate, study, create and publish content using digital devices like your smartphone or PC.


According to UNESCO, digital skills can also be defined as a range of abilities to use digital devices, communication applications and networks to access and manage information.


Since this post is about why you should learn a digital skill, I won't go deep into explaining the different digital skills we have. But here's a list of few of them:

  • Digital Marketing
  • Programming, web and app development
  • Social Media
  • Data Analysis
  • Content Marketing
  • Social Selling
  • Copywriting
  • Graphic Design
  • Video Editing and Creation

And many more…


Learning digital skills give you an edge, be it competition or anything. It improves efficiency and also builds effective communication skill. With digital skills, you become your own boss


Amazingly, some digital skills don't require you to leave your house, you can work efficiently from the comfort of your bedroom.


I feel pity for many young peeps like me who spend most of their online time on chatting, watching videos, and doing things of less importance. If you're among them, it's high time you buckle up! You need to start now, pick up a skill and work hard on it. Trust me, you're gonna see great results.


Imagine working for a maximum of 3-5 hours a day, yet you make more than what a 9-5 worker earns monthly. These are one of the advantages you get from having digital knowledge.


Luckily, there are a lot of free tools and resources you can use to start up something in the digital world. Also, your smartphone is just enough for you to learn whatever you want.


Digital skills are the future! Why not leverage this opportunity you have now and create that future for yourself.

My Favorite Quote

 30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 3 I'm not a fan of quotes, I'm not sure exactly why. Recently during my normal work research, I stumbled on this interesting quote by Albert Einstein, the theoretical physicist. When I came across this quote, I found out that quotes are nothing but people's reality which has been put out to guide the oncoming generation. They are nuggets of wisdom that are discovered through other people's experience which can match with our circumstances or inspire us to move in different directions. I just love this quote from Sir Albert. It basically gave me a clear vision of what to do with my career in a one-liner! Amazing. It inspired me to break limits which I once thought I couldn't. This quote showed me that indeed, there's a genius in every human. I'm a dude who likes to procrastinate a lot. I would judge my ability to do certain things and I end up not doing them.  I would think I couldn't and this is the exact same thing Albert is

Day 6 - What I'm Afraid of

 30 Day Blog Challenge - Day 6 Growing up, I've learnt a lot of things, sacrificed some stuff for one thing or the other and also, overcame so many fears. I wasn't brought up to overcome my fears but the way I shaped my mind in my everyday activities, made me learn lot of things about fears. In my own theory, I think if you have fear for anything, you'll try your best to avoid it. There are many theories out there but this is my own point of view. I've overcome many fears including death. I had a belief that the fear of death is useless because, death will come no matter what anyone might think about it .   Accept death as a necessity and pass the thought out of your mind. It must be a necessity or it would not come at all.   - Napoleon Hills  Presently, my greatest fear is the fear of poverty. I fear poverty so much that I'll do my best to avoid it. A poor man is less recognized and forgotten most times, that's why in this world, we must all try to be successfu
