Chapter 1: Introduction to Digital Marketing for Moms
Welcome back, fellow moms, to Day 2 of our 30-day digital marketing challenge! If you missed our first article on Day 1, be sure to check it out for a solid start.
As a mom, I completely understand the challenges that come with raising children and managing a household. The sacrifices parents make to ensure their families are taken care of are immense, and I can relate to the struggle of finding time and resources to further your education.
Being a stay-at-home parent often means putting your own aspirations on hold, including the chance to pursue studies outside the home. However, there are ways to acquire digital marketing skills without straining your finances. Today, we will explore some excellent free platforms that offer valuable learning opportunities.
Section 1.1: Top Free Platforms for Learning
There are numerous websites and platforms available, both free and paid, that provide essential learning resources. Notable mentions include Google Skillshare, YouTube, Coursera, edX, Skillshare, Udemy, and many others.
However, my top pick is LinkedIn Learning. Although it's a paid service, it offers a one-month free trial, making it an ideal choice for our 30-day challenge. Here’s why I recommend LinkedIn Learning:
- Diverse Course Offerings: Whether your interests lie in SEO, content marketing, social media strategies, or pay-per-click (PPC) advertising, LinkedIn Learning has an extensive selection of courses to meet your needs.
- Expert Instruction: Courses are taught by industry professionals with hands-on experience, allowing you to learn not just the theory but also practical insights from those who have succeeded in the field.
- Networking Opportunities: Being part of the larger LinkedIn community enables you to connect with other learners and industry professionals, expanding your network as you learn.
- Certification: Completing a course earns you a certificate, which you can showcase on your LinkedIn profile, demonstrating your commitment to professional growth to potential employers or clients.
- Flexible Learning Environment: The platform allows you to learn at your convenience, enabling you to start, pause, and resume courses as your schedule allows—perfect for busy parents.
To take advantage of the free one-month trial, simply sign up using a new email address. Additionally, you can create multiple accounts with different emails to extend your learning period.
Once you’ve registered for LinkedIn Learning, search for digital marketing courses and begin your educational journey. Set achievable goals for your studies and prioritize which skills you’d like to learn first.
Digital marketing is a valuable skill set, and with free resources like LinkedIn Learning, moms and anyone interested can gain the expertise needed to carve out their desired career paths.
Happy learning, everyone! Looking forward to our next session!
