Statistics on earnings in internet marketing

Year after year, earnings in internet marketing are on the rise. It no longer surprises anyone that in 2022, some companies will offer digital marketing specialists salaries comparable to the most sought-after employees in the IT industry.

Supply and demand in the job market

According to the Barometer of Professions in Poland forecast, there will be a balance between supply and demand for specialists in PR, advertising, marketing, and sales. Moreover, in some districts, we may encounter a shortage of people looking for work in marketing-related positions. It will mainly affect more specialized roles and experts with several years of experience.

The sustained demand for marketers will clearly impact their salaries. Additional benefits, modern equipment, flexible working hours, and five-digit wages will slowly cease to surprise us. And experts in paid advertising, web analytics, or e-commerce will treat these distinguishing features as commonplace – something they are entitled to and without which they won’t even pay attention to a given offer.

Internet marketing specialist - salaries. What do they depend on?

Additionally, the industry in which we work as a specialist in internet marketing also matters. The highest earnings can be achieved in business services, IT, media and advertising, light industry, and trade.

What can cause differences in earnings?

The answer is simple: work experience and level of expertise in a specific field or familiarity with a particular topic, such as:

  • creating and optimizing paid ads in Google Ads,
  • recognizing opportunities in organic and paid activities on social media,
  • managing scripts in Google Tag Manager,
  • optimizing content according to SEO guidelines,
  • building communities and engaging audiences across different communication channels of the company.
  • In some positions, specialization, and knowledge of a narrow but advanced area of marketing activities will count. In other cases, a holistic understanding of marketing operations and experience in managing a team of specialists will be necessary.

At Verseo, differences in earnings often result from both work experience and the number of additional projects undertaken or the size of the extra monthly bonus associated with acquiring and serving existing clients. In many positions, the specialist chooses the direction of their development and whether they have the time, energy, and opportunity to take on additional work in a given month, thereby earning beyond the salary range specified in the offer.
