Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.’
Great advice that I take to heart…and I hope you do too.
To help you with that learning part, I’m going to focus today on great courses you can take to extend your online marketing knowledge and skills.
Best part?
They’re all available for absolutely nada.
Let’s start with one of the best around – Google’s Fundamentals of Digital Marketing.

It’s suitable for beginners and intermediate marketers alike – you can access it here:

You also get a certificate with it on completion as you do with Hubspot’s Inbound Marketing course which consists of 10 lessons, 34 videos and 9 quizzes and is designed for beginners.
