A couple of days ago, I posted 3 Reasons To Learn A New Skill. As a follow up to that post, today I am sharing with you 6 blogging courses that will hopefully help make blogging easy.
I haven’t actually taken any of these courses, I did a Google search and selected the courses within the sections that seemed to have the best reputations. So while I can’t personally recommend these, I believe they are a good starting point if you are looking for blogging courses.

All these sound like a great starting point, I’ve been looking into a photography course myself! #twinklytuesday
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 I could do with one, but they are all so expensive!
Robyn
Great round up, I love that so many of these are free! I’d definitely love to learn some about photography and coding. Thanks for sharing these 🙂
Debbie, My Random Musings
I have done some of the coding one, although I didn’t go anywhere near as deep as the course can take you and it was really useful. Thank you 🙂
Emma
Great list of blogging courses. I would love to do a blogging course and would be really tempted by one of the free ones #twinklytuesday
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 When they’re free you have nothing to lose!

I would absolutely LOVE to do the photography and marketing/social media/google analytics courses…they’re just SO expensive. But I guess in the long run, they’ll help you make money and it will all be worth it. I best get saving 🙂 Loved this post, thank you! #TwinklyTuesday
Debbie, My Random Musings
I’d love the photography one, I definitely need some help in this area but it’s out of my price range at the minute! Thank you 🙂

what a great post, especially if you’re just starting out. I jumped in with both feet but it took me ages to navigate through. In hindsight a course to start me off would have been really beneficial. I’ve since done a couple of social marketing courses online which have helped a little. #twinklytuesdays
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 I did the same and but I think I would have learned much quicker with some sort of course.
Sarah
Great post! Thank you for sharing!
I’ve been planning to take a Code Academy course for ages now, I think this was this kick up the bum I needed!
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 Good luck with your course!

This is really nice. I appreciate the way you laid it out. I like knowing up front how much time something’s going to take, if I can work at my own pace, and what it’s going to cost. Plus the overviews of each course is very, very helpful.
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 I’m the same, I hate reading about something, fall in love with the idea then realise I don’t have the time or the money to do it!
Nancy Straughan
Thanks for sharing this. I’m finding that it’s the coding that I need / want to learn. There’s always so much to do isn’t there?
#TwinklyTuesday
Debbie, My Random Musings
Yes, coding is a good one for sure. There really is so much to do and just when you think you’ve cracked it, something else comes along!

This is really helpful – thank you. I’ve been looking for these ideas for a while.
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you, I’m glad you found it useful 🙂

Very handy post – I didn’t even know there was so much choice. Thank you for sharing x #BloggerClubUK
Debbie, My Random Musings
Thank you 🙂 I was surprised myself when I started researching this post how many options were available x
Laura's Lovely Blog
Interesting I have never thought of doing a blogging course, although I would really like to understand more of the technical side. Thanks for sharing #thelist
Debbie, My Random Musings
I was surprised how many options here were. I think the techy side would be a great area to explore 🙂
Bear and Cardigan
Lots of good courses listed. I would really like to know some code so that I don’t panic every time I have to change anything, and free. I may give that one ago. #abitofeverything
Debbie, My Random Musings
It’s fab that it’s free! Well worth a look, you have nothing to lose 🙂
tracey bowden
Some great ideas here, I have been looking into a fiction writing course and I feature a lot of this on my blog but I think I could definitely benefit from the html one I am pretty clueless about this area! #abitofeverything
Debbie, My Random Musings
That sounds good! I write fiction too but never thought of taking a course, might be something to look into in the future 🙂 I’m the same with HTML, I can do the basics but that’s it
Tracey Abrahams
Ive never taken an onine blogging course, but the coding one looks interesting and is something I would like to look into more.
Thanks for sharing with us, Tracey xx #abitofeverything

These are a great selection of courses that cover a wide range of abilities I like the idea of the google analytic course but I don’t have enough time at the moment but the discount is immense! Thank you for joining us at #BloggerClubUK hope to see you again next week x
Debbie, My Random Musings
I know, it’s a fab deal! It’s a shame you don’t have the time now. I quite fancy the photography one but it’s a bit (ok a lot!) out of my budget at the minute. Thanks for hosting, I’ll be there 🙂 x
Laura @ Life with Baby Kicks
Oh I would love to do a proper photography course, the husband did one a while back! I’m not sure about the others, I do like a course but I’m better doing lots of interactive conferences (says she who has done nothing….)
Debbie, My Random Musings
I like something like the HTML course where you can sit and have a play about with it and really get a feel for it. A photography course would be fab wouldn’t it!
