How do I sign up for Facebook Marketing Classes? 

Facebook ads are the new big money maker for business’ to market their products and services online.  It is estimated that over two billion people use Facebook every month and 1 of every 5 minutes people spend on mobile is on Facebook or Instagram. With Facebook Ads, you can choose your audience based on demographics, behaviours or contact information.

Yeah, we know Facebook keeps changing their algorithm, and it’s harder to connect with your audience. But did you know they also offer totally free training on how to use all of their online marketing tools?

It’s called Facebook Blueprint, and it’s a series of videos that show you exactly how to use all of the marketing tools on Facebook and test your knowledge.

They want you to connect with the right audience, so they’ve designed an entirely free educational system to allow you to pick the right people, and clearly send the right messages to your ideal customers.

You just go to Facebook Blueprint. Then, if you’re already signed into Facebook, you click on “Start Courses.”

It’s that easy. You don’t need to jump through any hoops, give your credit card info, email, or phone number.

Earn Higher Returns On Investment With Twitter Flight School

Do you want to sink a bunch of money into ads that don’t offer any return on your investment?

Nope.

With over 15,000 satisfied graduates, it might be worth investing the three hours it takes to complete everything.

Measure and Grow Your Business with Google Analytics Academy

If you want to see results in your business that are quantifiable, so that you can explore what is and is not working and then help build it bigger – Google Analytics is a great place to start.   If you don’t have the money to hire an expert, you can go to the Google Analytics Academy and sign up for free courses, so you can do it yourself.

What Are Google Analytics?

Google collects all of the data from the billions of people who use google to search the internet – trillions of clicks, searches, and even when people do or do not choose to click (click-throughs.) It would all just be a scattered mess unless you knew how to use this information. With Google Analytics, you can see how people arrive at your website, whether or not they click your offer, and make educated decisions about how to best market your product or service to the people who will be buying it.

Why should I learn about Analytics?

If you don’t know how users are interacting with your website, you don’t know what’s not working or how it can be improved. Constantly making uninformed decisions and second-guessing your good ones can leave you ultimately not knowing how to improve your business, get your audience engaged, or what you can improve on. Instead of spinning your wheels, you can analyze exactly what the problems are, then target those problems and optimize your business.

How Much Does It Cost?

The Google Analytics Academy is free.   It takes about thirty seconds of your time to click the requisite boxes for what aspects of the course you are interested in. And if you’re already logged in to your Gmail account, you don’t even have to fill out any forms.

Is This Just for Beginners?

The Google Analytics Academy is not just for beginners. It’s for all types of users who want to know more about this service.   Google Analytics Academy includes these modules:   Google Analytics for Beginners – for basic features   Advanced Google Analytics – for advanced features   Ecommerce Analytics: From Data to Decisions – learn to make informed business decisions   Google Tag Manager Fundamentals – learn to simplify and manage your Google tags
