If you're already here in My Free Digital Journey - 2, I'm hoping that you have joined me in My Free Digital Journey - 1 which has showed you some way to come here :). While not all of the online courses were free, I had to dig deep & research for the best kinds of courses which would both be free and valuable for the future. Here, I'm listing down the other platforms and courses that I found beneficial:
SEO : One of the best words, I found in internet to learn was SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Though, through the Digital Marketing Course, I somehow gathered a knowledge on it, I needed to upgrade my knowledge and here came LinkedIn Learning. I found few of the best online courses, some of which were free or with one-month-free trials and chose SEO Foundations LinkedIn Learning course to carry on.
There were separate videos, lectures on various aspects of SEO followed by short questions after every chapter, an exam, full of insights, after which you will be entitled with a valuable certificate from LinkedIn which looks like the picture below:

SEO Tools: Now that I have known the basics of SEO, my curious mind started to look for other relevant fields and soon found the courses on Semrush Academy. It took me just a few days, to learn and complete the two major aspects of SEO, On-page and Off-page SEO. Though this course talked about mainly The On-page and technical SEO followed by exams and certifications, this is also a free SEO Tool which is widely used for various purpose, like SEO checker and for SEO Marketing, digital marketing too.

Content Marketing: Even if you are overwhelmingly good at SEO and works related to it, you might struggle in the initial few days to understand the market and find the jobs. Meanwhile, what you can continue is, writing for other (freelancing) or writing on your own (blogging) altogether known as Content Marketing. Content Marketing definition varies depending on your work and goals, but it is a part of SEO Marketing where you can learn to apply your SEO skills and experiment with it. Consider it as an art and master the crafts through Hubspot Academy. The free certification I completed here made me Content Marketing Certified .
