Covid-19 has shown us that there is nothing in this world that is going to remain permanent. Even the most stable jobs, companies, world economy etc. got the shock, and the pandemic is not over yet. Nature has always been the last laugh.

So, it’s better to look for a second source. A good one that can generate a consistent income. And while looking for all this, I came across a term named ‘digital marketing‘. I tried to dig it further and every time I could see new opportunities peeping towards me.

But the main issue was how to understand the subject ‘digital marketing and how can I make money with it. This is because I am a mechanical engineering professional working in the core sector. So, naturally, terms consisting of ‘digital’ goes over my head.

Finally, I came across a three-month internship program, the Digital Deepak Internship Program (DDIP). Presently I am a part of the program, in which I have already completed two months. Trust me, this is one of the best decisions I have made to date.

In this present blog, I shall give a detailed review of the Digital Deepak internship program for you. I shall try to give an honest review of the same. I am not biased towards the program. If it’s good, it’s good and if it’s bad then it’s just bad.

I am 11+ years experienced professional, and till now I have at least understood that getting too much biased towards anything is not going to help.

So, let’s begin,

What is Digital Deepak Internship Program or DDIP?

Coming to the main part for which I am writing this blog i.e. DDIP is basically an action-oriented three-month internship program for people who want to get into the field of digital marketing.

This is not a course, so if you are looking for the same then this is not for you. But if you are keen to become a digital marketing expert, however, if you don’t know where to start, then DDIP is the best match for you. It’s a paid internship program.

There is a big problem with the courses, especially for the paid ones. Nowadays there are hundreds of digital marketing courses, training centres where people charge close to 50k and in some cases, the cost runs in lacs. However the end result from most of these are below satisfaction, they don’t even have proper understanding and planning of the subject.

You go through the course, complete it, get a certificate and that’s it. There is no action or planning to get on to the real field.

In DDIP, you are compelled to move out of your comfort zone. You will be given assignments, real assignments on which you have to work and finish the same within the stipulated time.

This way with every assignment, you start learning digital marketing by coming out of your comfort zone step wise. The internship program is for the one who believes his or herself and who are the DOERS.

For each assignment, you shall have the main video to understand the subject matter. After that, you will be provided with a worksheet containing assignment questions. The third step includes a webinar by Deepak to understand the assignment questions and how to proceed to completion.

Finally, a person from the digital Deepak’s team shall arrange a Q&A session to answer all the queries about the assignment. So, completing the assignment and understanding the subject details becomes much easier and doable.

Once you complete the DDIP program successfully, you will be awarded a Certificate of completion.

Who can take up the Digital Deepak Internship Program?

Anyone who is passionate about digital marketing, who finds this field interesting and want to explore can join the program. You don’t have to have a special degree for that.

All you need is one computer or laptop and a good internet connection, and most importantly you should spend at least one to two hours in a day or six to eight hours in a week with commitment towards the assignments.

This is an internship program, here you will learn digital marketing skills, and then your learnings will be tested through assignments. Don’t compare the program with an MBA or PGDM, these are university degree/diploma courses. If you get a chance to enrol for these courses from good institutes, then just do it.

DDIP is a program to give you a decent experience in digital marketing(DM), so that, you can start DM immediately after completing the program. In some cases, even during the course of the internship. And moreover, it’s less than 1/10th of the charges needed to complete an MBA/PGDM.

I am a part of Batch 4 of DDIP program, and here I find college students, working professionals from every sphere, entrepreneurs, bloggers and many more.

DDIP enrollment

For students, the internship is a wonderful opportunity to understand digital marketing in a practical way and within three months they become ready with decent experience to work in organizations.

For working professionals, Apart from the digital marketing field, a good number of the professionals in my batch doesn’t have a background in digital marketing including me. So, naturally, before joining the internship I was much confused, whether it will be worth it or not.

And after completing more than two months I can say that I took the correct decision to enrol. Through this internship you gain a decent amount of digital marketing experience, which you can use in starting your secondary income and in the process of time it can become your primary.

For entrepreneurs, learning digital marketing strategies is the best way to increase the customer database and grow the business exponentially.

Once you are interested in the digital marketing field and are passionate about it, then DDIP has the ingredients to change your life. However, if the same barely interests you, then I shall not recommend opting for DDIP.

What will you learn in this program?

As a mentor, Deepak Kanakraju always emphasizes, to become a ‘T-Shaped’ digital marketer. The below image will make it clear,

T Shaped digital marketer

Most of the current digital marketers take the wrong path by selecting a specific branch of digital marketing and proceeding with it. The end result in such situations tends mostly towards failed strategy.

Deepak always tells and most experts also, that digital marketing works best when you become a T shaped digital marketer. You don’t have to be an expert in all the verticals. But you should have a good idea about all of them.

Once you are done with the horizontal part of the ‘T’ as shown in the above picture, then you can go into depth vertically.

This can be nicely understood with the below example.

A doctor while completing his M.B.B.S. degree goes through all the essential subjects for getting a good overall knowledge of the various requirements of a human body. At that time he is not an expert in a specific area of his subject. However, with time he gains experience and knowledge and finally opts for a specific field making him better in his field.

Same is the case with a digital marketer.

Thus in DDIP you will go through

  1. Success mindset.
  2. Law of marketing.
  3. Content marketing.
  4. SEO.
  5. Social media marketing.
  6. Google ads.
  7. Affiliate marketing.
  8. Starting your own WordPress website.
  9. Email marketing, Lead generation.
  10. Deep marketing
  11. Digital freelancing
  12. How to publish your first e-book and many more.

All of the above are more than enough to make you an action-packed digital marketer with decent experience in the stipulated time. This is a wonderful opportunity and it has the ability to change your life.

Conclusion

In this blog, I have tried to present an unbiased digital Deepak internship program review.

Deepak kanakraju definitely has a unique kind of approach in his mentorship. I had absolutely zero knowledge about creating a website, keyword SEO, Facebook marketing, Google ads, Email marketing, Affiliate marketing etc. when 2020 started.

But by now, I have created my own website, I am doing keyword research (SEO) for my articles, already ran a Facebook ad, ran a Google ad and completed an email marketing sequence, and also just started affiliate marketing. So, doing all this is an achievement for me.

In DDIP you learn, earn and turn yourself into a pro in digital marketing. You can go through google, youtube etc. for getting knowledge in DM. But without a mentor getting a proper direction is difficult.

And when you have a mentor who has more than 10+ years of experience, one of the top digital marketers in the country, an entrepreneur and a self-made millionaire. Then at least you should attend his webinar, you never know that the webinar can give a 360-degree rotation to your life.

In the webinar, you will get to know the internship details, fee structure, cashback information and all other details.
