HP actually has some free classes to.

I signed up for the Introduction to Word, and the Introduction to Excel, so I'll let you know how it goes.

Digital Photography Tips

Hi, I just added a link to Digital Photography Tips to the free resources section of the blog, but I wanted to post about it here.

This is another blog from Cricket's Small Business Development Training Center, which offers free Search enging optimization, website development, website marketing classes, and more!

Digital Photography Tips offers not only tips, but image editing tutorials as well.

I definitely need to spend some time over there.

free entrepreneurial training resources from Kutztown University

While I was looking at the free resources at the US SBA (you can see the post here) I ran across the Small Business Development Center at Kutztown University, which claims "Our E-Learning program is the largest collection of free entrepreneurial training resources available on the internet."

I havne't taken any classes through them yet - although the Accounting Class I registered for at the Small Business Association is through them, I'm not sure if there are different sign up requirements when you sign up directly through Kutztown, instead of through the SBA.

Have you tried their classes?

Do you know of any other classes for small business owners?

If so I'd love it if you'd click to leave a comment and tell me about them.

Free Online Courses From the US Small Business Association

I ran across the United States Small Business Association a few weeks ago, and was delighted to realize they had free training courses.

You can find courses for everything from starting a business, building your website, federal taxes, to retirement planning.

I haven't had time to actually play with the site much, but I did sign up for the Accounting 101 the fundamentals class today.

I filled out a form with my name, city, state, zip, and a few other questions (They did not ask for a phone number, address or email address, which surprised me)and I went directly to the course.

LOL, so I emailed that to myself, so I could come here and tell you about it, and I'll look at that later.

If you've taken any of their courses, I'd love it if you would leave a comment and tell me how they went.

If you're planning on taking one, come back and tell me what you think when you're done.

Free Affiliate Marketing Tips

You may have heard that affiliate marketing is a great way to create a hands-off business. You don’t have to ship products or deal with customers…you just refer customers to another company, in return for a commission.

But if it’s that easy, why are so many people struggling to get their affiliate marketing businesses going? The truth is, getting things started is hard work and there’s a learning process involved.

And sometimes, all it takes is a good teacher. If you’re trying to make more with affiliate programs, I highly recommend you sign up for Alice Seba’s free Affiliate Marketing Tips. Alice is a stay at home mom who’s been making a full-time income from affiliate programs since 2003 and she loves to share her secrets to success.

Just follow this link and sign up for the tips. You’ll also have the opportunity for a great discount on Alice’s upcoming Affiliate marketing course – but there is absolutely no obligation to do anything else but receive your free tips.

Now I'm off to read some more from the affiliate marketing course.

I ran across this while I was doing my taxes, and I think it will be pretty useful for the direct sellers out there.

I hope it helps!
