Where to find Free training?
Are you home and wondering how and where to get free training to start your online business?
Like many of us right now, we are at home, maybe out of a job and the world we lived in no longer exists. During this time things are shifting from offline to online.
During this time I believe that more local businesses will close forever and the number of online businesses will explode. It’s an interesting time.
That is what has me share today’s post with you. There are a lot of amazing digital marketing companies that I have been learning from for the past few years.
These are trusted resources and while we are in this downtime, a good time to plugin and take advantage of some free training and tools.
Free Training Available to Learn Digital Marketing
There is some incredible free training that is taking place in the digital marketing world right now. If you are looking to get started or have been wondering what I should learn next, these are some of my favorites.
Digital Marketer
This company has been around for years and is an excellent resource for online digital marketing training. From the basics of online marketing to the advance, Digital Marketer has you covered.
Plus they are opening up their certification course which can be a huge benefit if you are looking to create a side gig or turn this online marketing into your full time income.
For a limited time, they have opened up their lab to everyone free of charge until the end of the month. March 31, 2020. They might extend it, but not sure yet.

Yoast SEO
One of my favorite blog plugins for WordPress users and the best SEO training to boot! I love that they are offering free training right now on everything SEO. (Search Engine Optimization)
As an online marketer, one of the greatest assets you own online is your website. Your website is your home base and allows you to be found and indexed by the search engines.
So if you want to add the long marketing game to your strategy, or want to understand the power of a blog… Grab this free training for All-around SEO training by the amazing Yoast company!
This SEO training is also good to learn for platforms like YouTube, Pinterest, and Google Ads. ?
As you know Pinterest is one of my favorite platforms to use to build and brand your online business. It is a visual search engine that allows your brand and/or business to be searchable on Pinterest.

I’m doing this training live so that we can work virtually side by side to get your Pinterest Business account set up correctly so that you have the unfair advantage of using it to generate leads and sales.

Here is the beginning of a list of Coaches & Mentors that I recommend.

Free Online Tools or Free Month Trials to Take Advantage Of
Right now there are a lot of great tools that can be used to build your business online. Below is a list of tools that I use online and I know work. Plus they have an amazing support team.
So here is my list of tools that I recommend. You don’t have to use them all. Only choose the ones you need to grow your business. Often less is more. Get good at using a few of these tools and then add. Some of these tools that I’m recommending I am an affiliate for.
Meaning I love the tool so much and share it with so many people that I found out that they will pay me a small commission for sharing tools I love and use. They call this affiliate marketing and it’s something I recommend you do too. Always be looking to see if companies offer affiliate programs. ?
