Hey @AGagnao - it’s nice to meet you, and we’re so happy you’re here! 😊

Everyone starts somewhere, and this community is a great place to learn, ask questions, and build confidence over time. I know I’m biased, but since you’re interested in content marketing and digital marketing, I’d recommend starting with [HubSpot Academy](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses). The Academy has a full library of free lessons and certification courses, and you can browse by role or topic if you’re not sure where to begin yet.

A few **beginner-friendly links** to start with (if you have a few hours, and you like watching videos):

- [Content Marketing Certification](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/content-marketing)
- [Digital Marketing Certification](https://app.hubspot.com/academy/53/tracks/117?search=Digital+Marketing+Certification&language=EN)
- [Inbound Marketing Certification](https://academy.hubspot.com/courses/inbound-marketing)
- [Academy certifications FAQ](https://knowledge.hubspot.com/help-and-resources/hubspot-academy-certification-frequently-asked-questions)

Beyond certifications, here are a few more **great places to learn** :

- [Content Marketing Study Group](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Content-Marketing/Welcome-to-the-Content-Marketing-Study-Group/m-p/429585#M6)
- [HubSpot User Groups (HUGs)](https://www.hubspot.com/hubspot-user-groups)
- [Content Hub for Marketers HubSpot User Group](https://events.hubspot.com/topics/47507/events)

Or if you’re really into **blog posts** , here are a few of my personal faves:

- [Digital marketing: Everything you need to know to get it right](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/what-is-digital-marketing) — a strong beginner overview of channels, strategy, and where to start.
- [How to Develop a Content Strategy in 7 Steps (From Start to Finish)](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/content-marketing-plan) — great for learning how to plan content intentionally instead of posting randomly.
- [How to Leverage Content Marketing, According to a Content Marketer](https://blog.hubspot.com/marketing/content-marketing) — a practical content marketing guide for creating, optimizing, and distributing content.

You’ve already taken a great first step by joining. Keep asking questions, stay curious, and take it one lesson at a time. People here are happy to help!
