If you google things like “online marketing skills”, “digital marketing skills”, etc. you will find things like

• HTML
• Web Design
• PPC
• Social Media
• Video Marketing
• SEO
• Community Marketing
• Analytics
• Content Marketing
• Email Marketing
• Copywriting
• etc.

However, in my opinion, there is a skill that overshadows any of those: The Ability to Learn and Adapt

Why? Because you can be an expert in SEO, but still struggle to make a living. Or a great Web Designer who works long hours just to pay the rent.

However, if you are able to learn some of the basic skills, but are not afraid of testing and trying new things, and keep learning, you will do much better than those who stagnate.

This goes hand in hand with this piece of advice: don’t be afraid to fail, test, and fail again. Resilience is a great skill to have, for all aspects of life.

So, are you a lifelong learner?
