My next courses is on ‘selling on the internet’ and then after that ‘e-marketing campaigns’. You will notice a pattern... Yes, I am doing as many courses as I can to assist my online sales and so far these courses have been brilliant!  I am on courses with web designers who are doing exams on analytics etc and whilst I knew little bits I know far more now.

The only part I struggle with is ‘sitting still’, after 30 mins I am wriggling about and just cannot sit still, I have always been like this in ‘class’ but at least I am listening this time round and the teacher cannot tell me off either.

Eventually I will employ somebody else to do all of my analytics and online marketing, but in the short term it’s just me. I am starting to feel that when I do employ someone, I will know what I am talking about now and have an overall understanding of it all, which is another good thing.

All the courses need is your ‘time’ and I would say they are well worth it! I am going to make the most of them whilst they are still being funded. The courses are not just for online marketing and trading there are various other topics being covered.

So I have gone outside my ‘bubble’ this month to look in at my business model and  start getting prepared for 2012.
