As I prepare launch my Digital Publishing Academy, I’ve been assembling and curating courses online that I can offer to my students that are totally free or low cost.
My target is to come up with 100 courses. I’m close. I found 50 of them so far, including some courses I found at Udemy, an online learning platform for which I’ve set up an account before and started exploring.
These range from social media, to SEO basics to Blogging niche to basic grammar. I have NOT personally reviewed any of these courses and cannot vouch for their quality but I have skimmed through them a bit and found them mostly informative and well taught.
I hope you can benefit from them:
