Hey! Hope this is the right place to ask but appreciate it could also crossover to the academy. I started the content marketing course, then saw there was a content strategy course, then an inbound course etc and I have become a bit overwhelmed with which is the right course to start with.

My marketing experience is minimal and I will be building a strategy for our relatively new business from the ground up (currently just do some socials on LinkedIn). We are in a service/consultant industry but have no desire for anything outbound sales related so will all be through inbound/content.

Currently on the free tools but open to upgrading. Appreciate any advice!

Hi @LukeTalent and welcome to the HubSpot universe! If I were starting fresh today with HubSpot (I’ve been a user since 2010) as a marketer, I would start with these:

- Inbound
- Inbound Marketing
- Content Marketing
- Digital Marketing
- Digital Advertising
- Reporting
- HubSpot Marketing Software

From there you could continue, but I believe these 7 will give you a great foundation. Just my two cents. 😊
