We always say the internet is amazing. With it, you can do and learn absolutely anything! One of our favorite things to do is teach ourselves new skills, whether it’s a language or starting a small business from scratch. In the office, they call me the Google girl because I believe you can learn just about everything with a quick search!

With that in mind, here are a few online courses you need to try!

1. Take your blog to the next level

If blogging is your dream why not learn how to take it to the next level and make it your full-time job. The Ultimate Blog Plan is a book/workbook with insider information, tips, tricks and workbook exercises for every single strategy. Every single area of blogging is covered in this book, and you can work at your own pace on each section so your blog will be the best it can be. From writing content to designing, branding your blog, making money, SEO strategies and absolutely everything in between. This is the only plan you need. Find it here.

2. Start a sketchbook

How nice would it be to be an arty person? Sketching is great therapy for anxiety and you can teach yourself the skills over time. Want to learn how to draw from real life or create patterns? You can even sell your artwork on the side as you learn! Each video exercise takes no time at all, and you can even sign up for a free trial of Skillshare to test it out first! Find it here.

    I always want to do some sort of self development but often I am a) too stingy and b) too time poor to shell (a horrid combo as I would maybe be less stingy if I felt I was time rich enough to properly do the course!) Have now signed up to learning to write fiction and have forwarded to my little sister too (who definitely has a chick lit or 2 in her!) thanks for the list!
