A lot of people ask the same question before they start anything new: will I actually be able to do this?
Syed Muhammad Usman had that question too. In October 2022, he decided to find out, and dove into digital marketing headfirst.
He signed up for a six-month Meta Social Media Marketing Certification, five courses plus a capstone project. He finished the entire program in just four months.
Right after that, he started looking for a digital marketing internship. One company saw his potential and brought him on. He gave it everything during that internship, and it paid off, they offered him a permanent role as a Social Media Assistant.
In that role, he ran several ad campaigns. Here's what two of them looked like:
- Campaign 1: 15,780 PKR in ad spend, 239,400 PKR in sales, a 15x return on ad spend
- Campaign 2: a 9x return on ad spend
Eight months in, his hard work earned him a promotion to Social Media Executive.
Around that time, a friend, Ahsan Ahmed, suggested he join Aamir Ahmer Academy to keep sharpening his skills. He took the advice, and here's how he describes what he found there: "Sir Aamir Ahmer's style of teaching is awesome and super simple. What I love about AAA is the strong community and support system."
Applying what he learned there, he recently ran a campaign for a footwear brand, spending just 8,950 PKR on ads for a product priced at 10,200 PKR. The result: 244,800 PKR in revenue, a 27x return on ad spend.
His advice for anyone just starting out: "Always keep learning. As Steve Jobs said, stay hungry, stay foolish, and don't be afraid to grab the opportunity. No job or project is too small, especially at the beginning of your journey."
In one year, he went from a complete beginner learning the basics to a Social Media Executive running campaigns with real, measurable results.
