Anybody Know Of A Good Online Course For Running A Web Design Business, especially the sales/marketing/lead generation side of it?
I’ve looked on Udemy… There are dozens of courses there, not really sure how to tell which is the best. Very few outside reviews of a lot of the people who have courses up there.
I’ve heard that SitePoint itself has some business development courses, or at least had them in the past. Are they all on learnable.com now? Are any of them worth taking?
I’d be willing to spend a significant amount of money on a course if it was good enough, but I’m not sure which are legit and which are not so good.
Sitepoint courses are on learnable.com and there are some business courses there.
I did one and I found it quite good although there were a few technical mistakes that didn’t make it that enjoyable (I don’t know if they are corrected now) but the course itself was nice. Now, this course I did was for beginners in the web design business so I don’t know how much value would it be to you.
Although I’m beyond newbie in terms of business, I still found it interesting.
But that was my experience and I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for.
I do recall that if you’re part of learnable you can take advantage and download their books and even kits. I think that the Web Design Business Kit was there for downloading, and I think that’s a good resource.
As for other courses and information, I wouldn’t be able to compare anything specific for web design.
If you don’t mind not being specific (that means, concentrating on the web design sector.), you may want to consider one of the major business schools out there. It may be expensive but as far as I know, they’re worth it. The one I know is IE (Instituto de Empresa, in Madrid) It is an international business school or Harvard (yes, I go high)
