Happy new year! Recently I purchased several blogging courses on Udemy because they had a sale where all courses were discounted and now they’ve done it again!
All courses on Udemy are currently $10.99 and so I thought I would share with you these courses that can benefit your blogging journey if you’re in this to make money.
These courses aren’t all about blogging. Some of them complement your business in some way, whether marketing the posts, converting social shares into customers or improving skills like photography and videography.
It definitely benefits you to always invest in your business, always learn and evolve. That’s how we grow as bloggers and business owners. I’ve selected courses from the best Udemy has to offer so let’s dive right in.
Writing Courses
I begin with writing courses since improving upon your writing is one of the best ways to improve your blog overall. Great content will convert readers into long-term fans of your blog and customers of any products you happen to put out.

Selling Courses
These courses are for bloggers who may also want to sell physical products online, whether your own products or reselling products from other suppliers (dropshipping) Maybe you’re interested in a t-shirt line or promotional items with your logo on them or maybe you want to sell items in your niche like clothes, art, cooking accessories etc. Dropshipping is a great way to sell products without having to carry loads of inventory in a physical store.

Photography Courses
Stock photography is great but using our own photos will take your blogging efforts to the next level. Depending on your niche, you may rely heavily on your own photography and so I’ve included niche-specific photography courses on this list.

Videography Courses
Video is the way to go! If you’re not including some aspect of video in your blogging efforts then you will be left behind in the evolution of earning income online through a blog. Whether it’s turning your blog posts into video for Youtube, capturing content that relates to your post or simply posting smaller snippets to social media, learning video mastery will help to elevate your blog in a crowd of bloggers.

As time goes by I’m sure I’ll add to this list. Many of these blogging courses I have picked up for myself to go through at my leisure. I believe that investing in yourself and your business is one of the best ways to grow. We will never know all that there is to know and it’s always good to see what works for another blogger, especially one that is already successful so I can find more tips and tricks to incorporate into my own blog or tweak something I may already be doing to get better results.
Speaking of growth, you should take my free blog traffic growth challenge. It’s a 5-day intensive challenge meant to push your traffic to the next level.
