Blogging School - a Free Course on Blogging

 Remember that free blogging course that I wrongly accused of being a scam.? Well after being directed around the up sell I did indeed take the course. Here is my review of it.

 The first thing I have to say is the sign up process lead me to believe that this was nothing more than another internet scam. However once you get to taking the course it is actually quire well done.

 If you are a seasoned blogger then you will not be getting much from this course and you may even get bored in some areas. However if you get in on the course while it is still free give it a once over as you might pick up a tip or two.

 Having said that, if you are brand new to blogging and want a good over view of what is involved then this course is for you. It does not promise to teach you how to get rich off blogging. It does teach you the basics of blog platforms, writing posts, attracting traffic to your blog, seo (search engine optimization) basics and monetizing your blog to earn some revenue.



 There is nothing in this course that is not freely available on the internet, and this is not really a technical course on how to perform such things as attracting traffic, and search engine optimization. However this course does give a good over view and is presented in an appealing way. All the lessons are presented in video format. The video is best describe as a really well done power point presentation. The speaker, Mark Joyner, has an easy to listen to voice. He presents the information clearly, displays a lot of good public speaking skills. It is evident he put a lot of work into polishing what he wanted to say and how he wanted to say it for these presentations. The result is a really good presentation.

 If the goal of this free course is to interest the participant into taking the other courses Simpleology offers then I must say they succeeded with me. As for the blogging portion I did not learn anything I did not already know. It did spark some other great ideas for me however while I was mind mapping notes from the course. In that respect the hour and forty five minutes I invested in were worth it for me.

 In closing if you have an hour and forty five minutes to spare then I would recommend this course. I would also recommend this course if you are brand new to blogging and setting up your first blog.

 
 

I have not been paid or have received any other renumeration for writing this post for Simpleology.

    It’s refreshing to find someone who is willing to correct a mistake when they realize they made one…it adds tons of integrity to you when you do! I tip my hat to you, and will check out the course when I get a chance.

    Also, found the rest of your site very interesting, and have subscribed to your feed. Looking forward to future posts.

    Hey Ben,

    I echo Steve’s comments. Your stock has gone way up in my book.

    And I hope I can exhibit the same level of integrity by improving our process based on your observations. We did something wrong to give that impression and we need to correct it.
