Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.
These are two currently running courses offered by a local community college in my area.
The courses are SEO and website building.
Read the descriptions and think about what's offered at WA.
WordPress Web Design
"Learn to use the industry leading content management system (CMS), WordPress. Students will build and maintain an elegant website or blog with no knowledge of coding. You’ll also learn about domain purchase and hosting, WordPress installation, page building, themes, plugins, widgets, search engine optimization and website monetization with shopping cart, PayPal and Google AdSense. This course is perfect for those wishing to design and maintain a small business or personal website with little to no knowledge of HTML. A basic knowledge of computer skills and web design is recommended. (15 hours)"
Website Marketing and SEO
"This course offers a lot of useful and practical information in various areas of online marketing. Learn how to advertise your website on the Internet and generate traffic; search engine optimization (SEO), website usability, accessibility and design considerations, make money from Google AdSense and affiliate ads, monitor your website activities with Google Analytics, add shopping cart and PayPal buttons, and create a blog. In-class and homework assignments include analyzing successful online businesses and working on students’ projects. A basic knowledge of web design is recommended. No textbook (15 hours)"
All of the courses listed were FULL! And you have to drive downtown to the college to do it.
In my opinion everything listed in both of those courses is contained within the very first levels of the training that WA has in the Bootcamps and other courses.
The courses above are $350 each. So if you wanted both you pay $700 for 30 hours of training.
At WA you get 14 months worth of membership for that!!
It doesn't take much research to prove that WA is by far a better place to invest your money for this type of education.
I'm sure glad I found WA!! How about you?
