Enjoy this big list of free online courses! Many of these are blogging courses or courses related to marketing or small, entrepreneurial businesses online. I’ll do my best to update this list, but often the course creators change things up. (updated 11-2017)
There are few things I love more than the combination of free and courses. FREE! COURSES! YES! Free online courses are popping up all over the interweb lately, which is good for you and good for me.
Digital courses have been around forever in terms of Course Live or Udemy, but I love the indie courses that run straight from one person to YOU. I hadn’t seen a list of all of them in one place, so I thought I would create the Ultimate List of Free Courses for YOU! (And for me.)
Many of these free courses are sales funnels. That means they will have some promotion for a paid product within the course itself. If you’re a smart cookie, you’ll know how to say yes when you should say yes and say no when you should say no. (Learn when you should stop buying courses!)
I have tried to keep in quality courses with great value, but I have NOT taken every single one of these, so I cannot fully vouch for all of them. If you do take one and it’s full of smarmy or BS, please shoot me an email. (kirsten@kirstenoliphant.com)
I’m going to start with a plug for my own free course, The Free Email Course. If you want to learn how to set up and see results from your email list in one week, this course is for you!
If you want to learn more about courses, not just TAKE them, check out a few more posts and podcast episodes I’ve got for you:
And now…let’s get our inner (and outer) nerd on with a great list of free online courses!
