howmuchisittojoin

How much is the work experience programme?

3,695 INR (GBP £35) This keeps us running. We keep the cost as low as feasibly possible to be accessible for everyone wherever you are in the world.

As we are not externally funded, the monthly contribution is our only revenue and covers every cost we have to keep this running from advertising accounts and software, to accounting and general administration.

For example, we may want to spend an hour going through the ins and outs of the best digital marketing software, but just one monthly subscription of ahrefs (a tool we love) will set us back £79 and SEMrush even more (another brilliant tool every marketer uses). To pay just these 2 software subscriptions for a month would require 7 members’ subscriptions.

And that’s before everything else on the list that we need to cover and want to introduce you to!

And if by chance (a rare thing) we receive more in contributions, anything left goes back into Revellup to build in more real-world experiences and introduce more people to the individual power of careers in digital marketing and beyond.

whoisrevellupmostsuitablefor

Who is Revellup for?

It’s a difficult question to answer because digital marketers often have diverse and unconventional career paths.

But if you are completely new to marketing, Revellup is perfect if you want to:

Learn digital skills in a friendly group

Build or add to your CV

Develop self-confidence

Get some work experience, perhaps for the first time

Explore a new career

Learn some basic presentation skills

Gain skills for a digital nomad lifestyle

Did you know millions of remote working digital professionals (many in marketing) are moving abroad for long stays to save money and live in the sun? Thanks to new digital nomad visas introduced by many countries during the Covid pandemic in 2020, it has never been easier.

More than 60 countries have now joined the list and one study reports there were as many as 35 million digital nomads worldwide in 2023 (stats by DemandSage).

Where would YOU like to spend a year?

Am I guaranteed a place?

Yes, providing we have space. Spaces are allotted on a first come first serve basis.

We want to emphasis that we welcome everyone, regardless of age, background, education, identity, community and nationality who wants to try digital marketing from scratch for the first time.

You can check our current availability here.

At current time of writing (Jan 2024) we only have space for 50 agency group members in total.
These are early days for Revellup and our programme is very much still an experiment.
We do not know yet whether we will grow quickly.
If you join us now, the upside will be a more tailored and personal experience for you.
If you wait to join us and we are busier, there may be a waiting list, but there will likely be additional features, more faces, additional free workshops and more group/time choices.

It is entirely up to you and will depend on not only your personal learning style but also what excites and motivates you.

You could jump in to the work experience group straightaway as a motivator then return to the preparation course.

You might prefer to focus on the preparation course on its own or juggle both the work experience group and the preparation group at the same time.

Our founder Caroline speaks fluent Spanish and wanted to make use of this to help anyone gain access to an industry which can be harder for non-English speakers to break into.

It means, if there are Spanish speakers in a group who are not confident in English she may quickly translate a word or two here and there.

And did you know that the learning curve for beginners may be steep but it is short compared to many other professions? This means you can start in your 50s or 60s with plenty of time to reach your personal peak and success before any thoughts of retirement.

In addition, many employers adapt advertised roles and career progression for the right person with more life experience if you have skills or qualities the team’s missing.

What costs are there?

It is 3,695 INR (GBP £35) per month to join a work experience group, or approximately US $42.

Subscriptions are our only income and need to cover everything to keep this running, from software to additional IT website maintenance, marketing and general administration.

Regarding software, we may want to share with you the ins and outs of a marketing software called Ahrefs (a tool we love) or SEMrush (also brilliant) but that would set us back £79 + $129 a month which is 7 subscriptions.

And that’s before all the other things that we might want to introduce you to! 🙁

I didn’t do well at school. Is digital marketing really an option for me?

Only you will know the answer after you’ve had a go.

Most people starting out in marketing knowing absolutely nothing about it. And even if they had studied marketing, it will bear little if any resemblance to the real-world.

Why? Because every business is different, every business owner is different, every team is different, every team’s resources are different, every task can be completed in a multitude of different ways, and because every day is different etc.

There is no one-size fits all in digital marketing, unlike for example in medicine where all heart surgeons will perform heart surgery in more or less the same way and all bricklayers will lay bricks in more or less the same way.

In addition, digital marketing is also a very broad church. This means there is no end to the range of specialisms within it, for example email marketing, content writing, digital PR, advert design, web design, data analysis, strategy and with overlaps in other specialisms such as coding, cyber security or data science.

Neither is there a personality type required for working in marketing or a particular background. You do not need to be outgoing and you can be come from a completely different career path, such as care work, retail, bio-science, the arts or long-term home-maker or unemployed.

And will anyone care that you don’t have the best qualifications from school? No, because there are not enough people to cater for the plethora of jobs available.

Think of it this way, does a homeowner want to see a plumber’s certificate after they’ve spent a week trying to find a plumber, after a week of soggy carpets and hauling buckets?

In some ways, marketing is a bit like a leaking pipe, except that in marketing the leak requires regular patching in different places but never fully goes away as there is always something to do.

Very soon you will know your marketing strengths, what excites you and sooner still you will be dictating what, where and how you will be working – no school certificates required.

Disclaimer: we are not suggesting that there is no value to higher certificates, only that it is possible to do exceptionally well off the back of your experience and passion without them, unlike many careers.

What’s Revellup Agency like?

Is Revellup a course?

Yes and no.

Although we have an extensive curriculum that is bolted on after our real work, unlike many marketing courses, we are prepared to change ours to fit the needs and strengths of our group, recent trends, real-world conditions and the wider industry.

We do not want to be a top-down, we-know-best training provider. Revellup is (or aims to be) a working collective of curious-minded people working, learning and growing together.

We are aware that even beginners can bring a lot to the table and shouldn’t be underestimated.

What will I learn?

We focus on online adverts, predominantly what are called ‘search ads’, these are the ads that you see marked ‘sponsored’ when you search for something on Google or Bing.

You will learn to create written ads from scratch and also improve ads that are already live by applying best practices (that you will learn) and experimentation.

Although we also cover other areas of marketing (see our curriculum list at the top of this page), ads are the core of our work.

We have chosen to concentrate on online ads as they are a little-known but highly desirable skill. When you are new to digital marketing but have one core strength such as online ads, it will give you the greatest chance to get job interviews and win clients.

Is it like a digital apprenticeship?

No.

Apprenticeships in the UK usually require a full time Monday to Friday commitment for one year with a local business with day release for college.

You will usually have to find the business yourself, accept a low (but legal) minimum wage and commit to a full time commitment in an office.

Apprenticeships are not a practical option for busy adults with financial and other commitments.

Is Revellup like an internship?

Yes and no.

Our agency group feels just like an internship, although we cannot call it an internship here in the UK. Employment law regulations in the UK stipulate that internships need to be paid like any other job.

Another difference between us and an internships is that we do not cherry-pick applicants. We accept everyone regardless of age, background or education.

The third differentiator between us and the average internship is that you don’t have to leave after 2 weeks. With Revellup you can stay with us as long as you want until you are ready to take the next step.

Your Questions After starting

Can I arrive late to a Revellup Agency Group meeting?

We recommend clicking on the Agency Group link 5 minutes before we start. This allows for connection issues or video call software updates which are annoying and cause delays. You may have to restart your computer.

It’s important to try to arrive on time because sometimes we want to start straightaway. Waiting for 5 minutes for latecomers can feel like an eteeerrrrrnity so if you arrive late we may have already split up to start work.

If you think you will always have a problem arriving on time due to other commitments or timings, message our Whatsapp group so at least we know.

How big are the groups?

It varies.

For our agency groups, the maximum cap is 10 at the time of writing but this may be extended if it’s practical to do so and means we can accept more members.

Due to the flexibility of our programme, that is that we run sessions throughout the year and have no fixed term dates, we expect to see fluctuations in group size each week to as low as 2 or 3.

Our preparation course is more of a traditional ‘taught’ online lesson so may be a bit bigger with members of the public who have not registered for our agency group.

Why will learning online ads make it easier to into marketing?

Online ads offer an easy and lucrative entry point into digital marketing regardless of age and background.

Anyone who knows anything about online ads will stand out amongst other candidates because they not typically included on marketing courses and they are difficult to study on your own.

The new culture of working from home made training juniors riskier which led firms to hire candidates with proven experience.

Online ads are riskier for juniors because they are notoriously fiddly and mistakes can be extremely costly. For example, there are hidden settings inside ad accounts that need to be switched off. Juniors often forget them and can cost a business tens of thousands a day in meaningless advertising spend, all because one tick box was left unchecked.

Moreover many experienced marketers do not want to spend precious time training their junior colleagues as they are already over-stretched and will be already questioning their employer loyalty on a daily basis. Any additional pressure and they will be off to another firm offering more money and better perks because when you have experience, there is no shortage of headhunters reaching out to you every week with tempting offers!

With experience under your belt, you will be in a position to dictate how, where and when YOU want to work!

Who? How? Why? What? Where?

How did Revellup start? What is Revellup’s goal?

Caroline Revell set up Revellup after she saw wannabe marketers and career changers with zero experience struggling to get opportunities in an industry which rarely recruits beginners without experience, despite the industry needing increasing numbers of new recruits year on year.

Caroline has over ten years experience in marketing and still works full time for a global US tech SaaS company, she runs Revellup with a passion unpaid in her free time now her children are all grown up.

She hopes Revellup will grow sufficiently for other passionate professionals to assist in her mission. And did we say anywhere here she’s a self-confessed over-sharer? Make sure you’e ready to take notes if you work together as the insights and experience can come thick and fast at any time and in no particular order.

Caroline lives between London and Norwich in the UK, and occasionally works out of South America. When she’s not working her day job or busy with Revellup, she likes to swim (for leisure), play guitar (badly) and get out on her mountain bike (still a complete beginner after 5 years).

Why does Revellup charge so little?

Revellup wants to be accessible to anyone, whatever their circumstances, wherever they are in the world.

We do not want to charge different amounts in different countries.

We have calculated that a monthly contribution of GBP £35 a month (approximately 3,695 INR, or US $42) even for our international members in countries outside Europe/USA, such as Colombia, India and Kenya, should not eat up more than 10% of a low monthly wage.

Where does our money go? What do our contributions cover?

This is our only revenue and needs to cover every cost we have from marketing, software, website work, accounting, general admin and when we grow, wages for experienced professionals.

We will always try to keep the cost as low as possible to be accessible for everyone, regardless of age or background and wherever they are in the world.

One example of where the money goes: We may want to spend an hour with you going through the ins and outs of the best digital marketing software, but just one monthly subscription of Ahrefs (a tool we love) will set us back £79 or another, SEMrush (brilliant too) is $129 a month.

To pay for just 2 subscriptions for one month would eat up around 8 Revellup subscriptions!

And that’s before everything else on our list that we might want to introduce you to! 🙁

Why doesn’t Revellup receive funding so we don’t have to pay?

Funding is not a sustainable model.

It immediately imposes a limit on the number of people we can serve with no guarantee that we would receive the same funding in the future.

Funding can also create an unfair situation where we are under pressure to cherry-pick new members who we think will have the greatest chance of success.

Worrying about next year’s funding would affect all aspects of our mission from the quality of our work to the future of Revellup itself.

On top of that, we couldn’t save money from funding for a potential withdrawal of funding the following year because most donors want their money to be spent within the funding period, not hidden away as back-up.

Why don’t the businesses we work for pay anything?

Unlike normal businesses we do not charge clients for the work we do.

This puts us in an extremely strong position to focus on YOU and the businesses we work for. Instead of trying to keep the business owner happy (so he pays us each month) we can focus on priorities.

It means we get to choose the type of work we take on and decline anything that is unsuitable for our strengths, interests and goals.

It also means we are in an enviable position to tell business owners straight up what’s working and what’s not with 100% transparency without the usual marketing blag (and BS). This is something that business owners often need or want but miss out on.

And if a business wants to make a donation, we welcome them. Donations help us educate people both in the UK and around the world about the incredible opportunities in IT and digital from career advisors doing outreach work in schools to essential equipment.

Why do I need to pay if I’ll be working for free?

As far as we can see, the only way we can make Revellup work is by a small contribution from everyone.

With a monthly contribution, we can provide a career-changing opportunity to everyone who’s interested, wherever they are in the world.

Without contributions, we would rely on money from elsewhere, either in the form of client fees or donations. Both of these would mean a cap on numbers and pressure to perform to keep the donors happy.

And of course, you’re not paying just to work, you’ll be surprised at how much Revellup can feel like an educational course, mentoring and a mutual friendship/social group too.

Can I speak to someone before I sign up?

This will be difficult as we run Revellup on a voluntary basis in our free time. We hope to set up a support telephone line at a later date when funds permit.

Answer to Maths question: *$300 divided by 30 days means an advertising budget of $10 a day. Don’t worry if the question confused you. Many marketers are hopeless at maths, and even when the numbers are right, you can often do what you want with numbers. As long as a business succeeds from its marketing efforts somewhere, everyone will be happy!
