Learn Digital Marketing
Learn Your Way
Before you head to Google and start searching your day away, consider these questions. They will help you determine what type of digital marketing training you’re looking for so you can narrow down options and focus on what’s most important.
1. What do you want to learn?
Digital marketing isn’t just one thing. It’s content marketing, social media, website development, paid media advertising, search engine optimization, and so much more. Those who are interested in learning digital marketing may want to excel in one part of the industry, or they want a general introduction to the whole landscape before they find a niche.
Before you look for a training program, know what you want to learn.
2. How do you learn best?
Each of us is unique, which means we have our own style of learning. Think about whether you learn best by listening, watching videos or reading content. Knowing how you learn will help you choose a course that will deeply benefit you.
3. How much time do you want to spend?
Learning a new discipline can be time intensive. Before choosing a training, make sure you know how much time you’re willing to commit. If you’re short on time, you won’t want to watch hour-long videos every weekday. You’ll be better off with training that is offered in short snippets so you can fit them into your day.
4. Are you willing to fork over some cash?
We know – you came here because you want to know about free digital marketing training options. But it’s worth knowing whether you’re willing to spend money on a training course. If you are, it will change the way you search for and consider the options.
Don’t fret about the dough! There are plenty of great free digital marketing courses out there.
