Explore the Playing Field

One of the things that I have been doing a lot of is exploring the different thoughts and views of the digital marketing field. It is important if you are going to move throughout any industry that you learn as much as you can about it. That means learning the names of the big firms, knowing where the industry has been coming from, and what direction it is going. The best way to do this is to read blogs or subscribe to RSS feeds that are updated daily with information about what you are learning. A great feed in the digital field is a website called ReadWriteWeb. They offer quick news updates of the things that are happening in the digital environment. If you can find a couple of these feeds or resources you will learn a lot more about the industry around you and not just the company that you are working for. These also give you something productive to do when you have down time.
