Keep learning, keep growing<\/h2>\n
For all those business persons, entrepreneurs and startup wanna-be\u2019s you\u2019ll be happy to know that there is a plethora of online business and marketing courses out there that are screaming for your enrollment. The online blog quicksprout.com<\/a> has compiled a list of nearly two dozen courses that will enhance your business and marketing acumen. And I\u2019m not talking about courses from schools you\u2019ve never heard of. You\u2019ll note some prestigious institutions and the really great thing is many of these courses are free or low-cost. So grab a notebook and a pencil and get ready because class is now in session.<\/p>\n Introduction to Marketing<\/a> (University of British Columbia):<\/strong>\u00a0Everyone needs to start somewhere, and this is the best place for marketers. This is a very introductory course that will give you a general overview of marketing. It\u2019s not very\u00a0difficult, but it will make the gaps in your marketing knowledge obvious. If you have a tough time clearly defining concepts\u00a0such as\u00a0market research and brand strategy, you should start here.<\/p>\n Networks, Crowds and Markets<\/a> (Cornell):<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong>This course, on the other hand, is fairly advanced. It\u2019s a great course if you\u2019re an analytics junkie. It mainly focuses on these concepts in the context of the Internet, which is ideal for most modern marketers. The main concepts covered in the course are: Digital Branding and Engagement<\/a> (Curtin University):<\/strong>\u00a0This course is essentially DigitalBranding 101. Essentially, it provides a high-level look at ways of\u00a0incorporating many of the tactics you read about on Quick Sprout and other marketing blogs into your marketing.<\/p>\n Principles of Macroeconomics<\/a> (MIT):<\/strong>\u00a0Economics is a fundamental subject that all marketers should have at least a basic understanding of. This course is an introductory course to macroeconomics. Macroeconomics is a study of\u00a0economics on a national basis. It\u2019s good to understand how your industry as a whole responds to changes in: Principles of Microeconomics<\/a> (MIT):<\/strong>\u00a0This is the other side of economics, which is more interesting to most marketers. Microeconomics looks at economics on a much smaller scale:\u00a0individuals, companies, and groups.<\/p>\n You\u2019ll notice I am stopping with the top five courses. Click the link<\/a> and enjoy the rest. And because I\u2019m feeling somewhat generous today I\u2019m including another link<\/a> for even more online courses.<\/p>\n You can thank me later after you graduate. Now crack those books! There\u2019s a test next Wednesday!<\/p>\n For all those business persons, entrepreneurs and startup wanna-be\u2019s you\u2019ll be happy to know that there is a plethora of online business and marketing courses out there that are screaming for your enrollment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":337420,"featured_media":7144,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"wds_primary_category":0,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[457,895,898,897,856,896],"class_list":["post-7142","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-real-estate-marketing","tag-realtor","tag-courses","tag-e-learning","tag-education","tag-online","tag-university"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/03\/online-learning-writing-laptop.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7142","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/337420"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7157,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7142\/revisions\/7157"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7144"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theamericangenius.com\/housing\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Introduction to Marketing<\/h2>\n
