There are a ton of developers with promising projects looking to partner with some marketers! You'll get some real world marketing experience while working with real products.

There are a ton of them in different industries so each one would need it's own growth strategy. It's a great way to get quick experience in multiple strategies and markets!

Two things:

• Reading: I’m a tenacious reader of all things SaaS marketing on the internet. Follow the thought leaders, subscribe to the blogs, and use websites like Zest.is to find all the best content.
• Also Reading: Internet is great but read real books too, like Ogilvy On Advertising, The Conversion Code, Traction, Hacking Growth.

If you’re interested, I send out a curated newsletter each week of all the best SaaS marketing content I come across 👉 tldr.coreyhaines.co

By doing it.

As a good marketer, you'll constantly be trying new things to improve your metrics anyway.

I don't know of any good online/offline courses on marketing, but there a few helpful guides out there on topics like SEO, email marketing etc.

If in doubt, work on your hard and soft skills - so learn some programming or Adobe Suite for example (on the hard skills side), or take some time to network with other marketers (on the soft side).

A final good trick is to look at job postings that might interest you soon and work on the skills listed there.

Good luck!
