Over the last few days, I’ve seen numerous posts of friends losing jobs to the impact of COVID-19. It’s been a heartbreaking and sad time for us all, and I wanted to put together this resource of my recommended Digital Marketing Courses you can do to upskill or seek a new career during this time.
The following recommended Digital Marketing courses are ones that I’ve personally purchased, enrolled, completed or had clients and digital friends rave about. They all have an element of free training within each course for those struggling at this time. No matter if you're a beginner to the industry or an advanced marketer looking to upskill, the following recommendations have something for all of you.
KATE TOONS RECIPE FOR SEO SUCCESS ECOURSE
Kate Toon offers The Recipe For SEO Success Course and a myriad of smaller SEO based courses on her website. I purchased Kate Toon’s Big SEO course on the last intake of enrolments, and although I have not personally completed it all yet, she is by far the OG and MVP of the SEO industry! I could not recommend anyone better to get you on your way to SEO success.
I highly recommend checking out her site and dipping your toes in her SEO Nibbles course (free) or her 10-Day SEO Challenge ($97+GST). You can also sign up for her big course waitlist here.
[ Sidenote, I’d highly recommend joining Kate’s free Facebook group I LOVE SEO with Kate Toon and following her on Instagram, her content is so refreshing, and she is unapologetically the real deal. ]
