Speaker 1 (00:01):
Welcome back to the Logiside Hustles podcast, where I help
you make great side hustle decisions. And today I'm going
to be talking to you about whether or not.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
Blogging courses are worth it.

Speaker 1 (00:11):
And yeah, I'd say they are worth it, but I
don't want you to pay for them, at least in
the beginning. You see, there are so many incredible free
blogging courses, so of course they're worth it. They're free,
and they're made by reputable marketing companies that want to
show off their tools. This means they're going to put
a good amount of professional effort into making their courses.

(00:34):
And the first free blogging course that comes to my
mind is the h REFS Blogging for Business Course. This
is the only blogging course I have taken, and it's
very thorough. This course is catered towards modern blogging, where
you use a blog as a content marketing channel for
business rather than building a traditional niche website. It covers

(00:58):
blogging fundamental in depth, which includes publishing best practices, finding keywords,
optimizing your blog posts, performing an SEO audit, and backlink acquisition.
So if you want to learn about blog SEO and
how a business can use blogging to promote their services

(01:19):
and products. Then you'll enjoy the blogging for business course.
Now there is a time and place where it might
be worth paying for a blocking course. If the course
in mind helps you achieve a specific goal, and if
the course is made by someone you admire professionally, it's
probably worth it. One example that comes to my mind

(01:40):
is Carly Campbell's Pinterest course. Hundreds, if not thousands, of
pinterest bloggers recommend her course. You can also look into
courses that help you build income with your blog, like
Elma Caine's Freelance Writing course. And lastly, you can look
for courses on course marketplaces like You to Me. The

(02:01):
courses are generally quite affordable and they start as low
as fourteen dollars, so you won't break the bank. So
my final tip for you regarding buying a blocking course
is don't overpay. Never buy a.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Premium course that's more than two hundred dollars. The courses
above the two hundred dollars price point are usually sold
by value lacking salesman, and when it does come time
for you to purchase a course, check to see if
it has a coupon or a discount code, and that's
it for today's episode. Subscribe to the podcast for more
