Q&A: How important are accounting/finance skills for marketing managers?

Posted on May 19, 2012 by dogweathervane (Published for 14 hours)

Question by : How important are accounting/finance skills for marketing managers?

I am currently studying a Marketing major at university. I’ve been reading and hearing lately that skills in accounting and finance are crucial for senior positions in marketing, for things such as customer profitability. How important are such skills for a job in marketing, and is it possible to get by with minimal/basic knowledge of finance etc? Willing to hear from people currently in the marketing profession please.

Best answer:

Answer by Irfan Halimi
Accounting is a very important subject. I believe that it is possible to get by with basic accounting knowledge for a certain period of time, but the lack of accounting knowledge will eventually catch up to you.

And I am not surprised by what you read. Accounting is very crucial for any business related position.

Question by ngaai: What area should I start working on in Internet Marketing?

I am 24. I play guitars (advanced) and the piano. I am good at programming and puzzle solving. I am pretty much everything a perfect computer geek needs to be. I am planning to start off a company before which I will need to get a feel of how marketing works on the internet. I would like to create niche blogs but I don’t see where I should start and what topic would be ideal for me. Could you suggest a way for me to get things going.

Blog about what you know to start with and get a feel for it. Get a couple of free blogs at WordPress on the go.

Somaya Reece – Weight loss tips that work (protein shakes & eating habits)

Posted on May 17, 2012 by dogweathervane (Published for 3 days)

For healthy recipes VISIT: www.MissReece.com I’m tired of reading all of these false diets and false weight loss tips that are NOT ideal for real people. Real people have jobs, not enough time to workout, and cannot spend money on all of these phony fad diets. I lost over 21 pounds and am still losing without dieting. I started focusing on losing weight last year a little before September of 2011. It took a few months to get into a fully focused mode. When I focused I lost the weight! I didn’t gain weight because I was eating bad. When I moved to New York it became extremely difficult to work out because the lifestyle is so different here as opposed to LA where I hike everyday. I didn’t do it with a diet or pills and I was able to keep my curves. It’s been a fun transformation for me. I had a “make under” 6 weeks ago, a breast reduction. I haven’t been able to work out, because of it I had to learn to adjust my eating to maintain the weight I have lost which is what motivated me to share my journey in these wight loss blogs. This first blog I discuss protein shakes, bars, cooking and the unfortunate Hollywood pressure many women suffer which makes them want to get skinny or alter their bodies to fit in. Get healthy not skinny! I have also added a few before and after pics. I know those are always helpful. I hope you enjoy my series of weight loss blogs. This is one of many to come :)

Question by beauty and the mess: How much should I charge for social media content?

I was asked to take over the social media marketing for a local business that I am currently doing other freelance writing/marketing assignments for. The social media aspect of the job would consist of making about one post per day on the company’s facebook and twitter accounts, and generating fresh content would require a little bit of research on my part each day. What is a reasonable rate for this service?

Question by lacey1: What is the difference between web design and graphic design?

Well, I’m getting closer and closer to graduating but I’m confused on what to take in college.i wanna be a web designer.what courses should i take. i wanna make the websites i make interactive attractive and great and also have fun doing it. but it looks like i should take both web designing and graphic design or what ever.

Best answer:

Answer by obaid
Web Designing ( is for designing for web applications ) i.e websites its color, page height and length, text and the look of the web page and so on. But then graphic design is designing animation cartoons or editing a photograph of abraham Lincoln into color and doing other stuff.
