Hello,
Being in the digital marketing industry for 10 years now, I can suggest you be a master of Google Analytics and Webmaster tools. The idea is to spend some years mastering the general activities of SEO/PPC and email marketing. You can also build your own website and do its optimization so that you'll get a hang of the general campaigns and activities, and the working knowledge of the digital marketing world. I did the same with my website, http://infomaticaacademy.com/.
Thanks!!!
