Inbound Marketing Certification (HubSpot)</em></h3>\r\n<p>For anyone who wants to go the whole hog and become a certified marketer, there’s little to compete with HubSpot’s (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/HubSpot\">@HubSpot</a>) <a href=\"http://academy.hubspot.com/inbound-certification\">Inbound Marketing Course</a>. Ever since the company’s CEO Brian Halligan (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/bhalligan\">@bhalligan</a>) developed the <a href=\"http://www.riverbedmarketing.com/fourteen-ways-to-define-inbound-marketing/\">concept of inbound marketing</a>, it has spiraled upwards to become the marketing method of the new millennium.  In this course, you’ll learn how to use different aspects of inbound such as content marketing, lead generation and nurturing and search engine optimization to create a comprehensive marketing strategy.</p>\r\n<h3><em>2. Social Media Marketing Magic</em></h3>\r\n<ul>\n<li>\n<em>HootSuite University</em> <strong>- </strong>The use of social media marketing is high on every marketer’s list of essential skills, and it isn’t as simple as posting daily tweets. Fortunately, there’s valuable, on-demand video training available from HootSuite’s (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/hootsuite\" target=\"_blank\">@hootsuite</a>) <a href=\"https://learn.hootsuite.com/?p=1\" target=\"_blank\">online university</a>. The videos teach you everything you need to know to maximize your use of the HootSuite platform for marketing purposes, for the low price of $9.99 a month PRO subscription plus $21.99 a month for the duration of the course.</li>\r\n<li>\n<em>NISM – Social Media Marketing</em> - Alternatively, you can get <a href=\"http://nismonline.org/get-certified/\" target=\"_blank\">certified as a social media practitioner</a> by taking a somewhat more expensive strategist exam course through the National Institute of Social Media (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/nismpulse\" target=\"_blank\">@nismpulse</a>). Whatever course you decide to choose, the end result will be a higher level of ability than you’d have otherwise.</li>\r\n</ul>\n<h3><em>3. Digital Advertising (Google Partners)</em></h3>\r\n<p>Google is much more than just a search engine, and for anyone interested in learning marketing the <a href=\"https://support.google.com/partners/topic/3204437?hl=en&amp;ref_topic=3111012\" target=\"_blank\">Google Partner exam study guides</a> are a great source of educational tools to use.

PPC (Wordstream’s PPC University)</em></h3>\r\n<p>&gt; Within the broader arena of Google Partners’ digital advertising, the complex world of Pay-per-Click gives many people headaches. Wordstream’s (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/WordStream\" target=\"_blank\">@WordStream</a>) PPC University offers a <a href=\"http://www.wordstream.com/learn\" target=\"_blank\">variety of online marketing tutorials</a> that drill down to the specific heart of PPC. Three levels of learning (101, 102 and Advanced) cover every aspect from basics such as how to set up an account, through bid management and optimization right up to remarketing and advanced geotargeting.</p>\r\n<p><em>Related Article: </em><a href=\"http://www.business.com/online-marketing/essential-negative-keywords-almost-marketing-campaign/\">Essential Negative Keywords for Almost Any Marketing Campaign</a></p>\r\n<h3><em>5. Content Marketing (CMI)</em></h3>\r\n<p><a href=\"http://www.riverbedmarketing.com/what-is-content-marketing/\" target=\"_blank\">Content marketing is the probably the most important aspect</a> of inbound marketing, according to <a href=\"http://www.riverbedmarketing.com/fourteen-ways-to-define-inbound-marketing/\" target=\"_blank\">Seth Godin</a> (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/ThisIsSethsBlog\" target=\"_blank\">@ThisIsSethsBlog</a>). It might seem like rocket science, what with all the intricacies involved in producing “quality” content, but the <a href=\"http://contentmarketinginstitute.com/online-training/\" target=\"_blank\">training available</a> from the Content Marketing Institute (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/CMIContent\" target=\"_blank\">@CMIContent</a>) founded (and headed) by Joe Pulizzi (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/JoePulizzi\" target=\"_blank\">@JoePulizzi</a>) has marketers covered. It offers more than 46 lessons spread over 19 hours of learning and focused on seven key areas, which are:</p>\r\n<ul>\n<li>Planning</li>\r\n<li>Audience</li>\r\n<li>Story</li>\r\n<li>Channels</li>\r\n<li>Process</li>\r\n<li>Conversation, and</li>\r\n<li>Measurement</li>\r\n</ul>\n<p>At a cost of $995 for the full curriculum it’s hardly a steal, but when you consider that you have a year in which to complete it the price averages out at less than $100 a month. The instructors are top-notch, too, with names like Orbit Media’s Andy Crestodina (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/crestodina\" target=\"_blank\">@crestodina</a>) and Contently’s Shane Snow (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/shanesnow\" target=\"_blank\">@shanesnow</a>) presenting modules in their areas of expertise.</p>\r\n<h3><em>6. General Marketing Courses (edX Online)</em></h3>\r\n<p>All the institutions covered so far focus on one or more specific aspects of marketing, but what happens if you need a broader approach? Well, then there’s edX.org (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/edXOnline\" target=\"_blank\">@edXOnline</a>), an <a href=\"https://www.edx.org/about-us\" target=\"_blank\">online learning destination</a> founded in 2912 by MIT and Harvard that offers courses gleaned from more than 85 global partners, which includes the best universities and other learning institutions in the world. With 172,000 Twitter followers, edX holds a sizeable share of the online learning market. With a huge variety of courses, you’ll have to hunt a bit to find marketing-focused courses but when you do, you’ll be able to graduate with a real certificate from a verified source.</p>\r\n<h3><em>7. Professional Marketing Certificate (Market Motive)</em></h3>\r\n<p>Since online marketing is really all about the digital aspects, if in-depth learning on topics such as web analytics, conversion optimization, email marketing or pay-per-click advertising is what you’re looking for, then <a href=\"http://www.marketmotive.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Market Motive</a> (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/MarketMotive\" target=\"_blank\">@MarketMotive</a>) might be your alma mater. The courses cost anywhere from $49 a month for self-paced learning, up to $1995 per year for coached marketing tutorials with fixed schedules.</p>\r\n<p>You’ll get structured courses compiled by industry experts, live webinar events, supplementary learning materials, web-based tests and quizzes and an interactive student forum. Provided you do the work, you’ll graduate with a certificate recognized as an exam preparatory for the Online Marketing Certified Professional (<a href=\"http://omcp.org/\" target=\"_blank\">OMCP</a>) industry qualification.</p>\r\n<h3><em>8. SEO Training (Yoast Academy)</em></h3>\r\n<p>Without <a href=\"http://www.riverbedmarketing.com/24-steps-choosing-right-seo-company/\" target=\"_blank\">optimizing your website for search</a> and doing other things necessary to get found by Google such as offsite SEO and link building, your marketing career is pretty much dead in the water.

Technical Training (Lynda.com)</em></h3>\r\n<p>This subscription-based service costs a little more than some of the free resources, but Lynda.com (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/lynda\" target=\"_blank\">@lynda</a>) offers quality training <a href=\"http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2385781,00.asp\" target=\"_blank\">for anyone wanting to learn the technicalities of marketing</a>.</p>\r\n<p>With around 50,000 courses available on topics such as video filming, production and editing from beginner to advanced levels, website design using various content management systems (Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal, etc) technical web development, graphic design, photography, 3D and animation, much of the content is marketing-focused even when it doesn’t fall into the Marketing category.</p>\r\n<p><em>Related Article: </em><a href=\"http://www.business.com/online-marketing/if-you-build-it-they-wont-come-and-11-truths-about-online-traffic/\">If You Build It, They Won't Come: 11 Truths About Online Traffic</a></p>\r\n<h3><em>10. Email Marketing (OMI)</em></h3>\r\n<p>For a subscription of $27 a month, the Online Marketing Institute (<a href=\"https://twitter.com/OMInstitute\" target=\"_blank\">@OMInstitute</a>) offers a range of courses on marketing topics, including <a href=\"http://www.onlinemarketinginstitute.org/classes/email-marketing/\" target=\"_blank\">comprehensive training on email marketing</a>.

It’s no longer necessary to spend a fortune and embark on a degree course to fill gaps in your marketing knowledge.
