4 Online Learning Resources To Boost Entrepreneurs’ Skills

February 9, 2021 by startGBC

Online-learning-resources

Whether you have just started your business or planning for an expansion, it is always important for an entrepreneur to keep upgrading your knowledge. There are many free, high-quality online resources where you can access anytime, anywhere to learn about digital marketing, business management and so much more.

4 online learning resources that you should check out to upgrade your skills.

  1. Google Digital Garage & Google for Startups

Google Digital Garage is an amazing resource with over 151 free digital marketing courses from Google. If you manage a small business, Google will instruct you on how to utilize their tools and boost your online presence. On the other hand, Google for Startups is designed to help move your business forward. Besides the tools and training courses, you can join Communities designed for Startups from Google.

  1. LinkedIn Learning:

LinkedIn is not only a great platform for networking, but it also provides excellent resources for you to learn. They have the whole Topic session for “Small Business and Entrepreneurship”.

GBC Community members can access LinkedIn Learning for free! Find out how to register your account!

If you are not a member of GBC Community, there will be a monthly fee to access LinkedIn Learning, but the contents it brings are definitely worth it!

  1. Facebook For Business

Facebook is the largest social media platform on the planet. Therefore, you might consider having your official business page on Facebook. Like Google, the courses provide free learning courses to instruct you on the use of marketing on both Facebook and Instagram. Even if you don’t have a plan to build a Facebook or Instagram page, it would also be a great resource to learn about Digital Marketing.
