Questions
Is this role for marketplaces or for own stores?
Both exist. Marketplace roles focus on listings, reviews and marketplace ads. Own-store roles lean on paid media, email and site conversion. The training covers both, so you can aim at either.
How important is profit analysis?
Very. Many stores grow sales while losing money on each order after fees, shipping and returns. Being the person who can show which products actually make money is a clear advantage.
Where do the salary numbers come from?
From published salary surveys, official statistics and job listings. Every country lists its sources with dates, and each row carries a confidence rating. The ranges are typical, not promises, and your offer depends on the company, the city and your skills.
Does FunnelGym guarantee a job?
No. FunnelGym teaches by practice and gives you projects to show. Hiring is the employer's decision, and results depend on your own experience and effort.
How often is the data updated?
We refresh it regularly and show the last collection date for each country. When a number is missing, we say that it is being researched rather than guess.
Try the work before you decide
The first lessons are free. You practise on realistic campaigns and see whether this is the job for you.
