Then it\u2019s time to take a few digital marketing courses.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what you\u2019re selling, digital marketing is one of the most powerful tools at your disposal for getting your product or service in front of as many eyes as possible. Think about it\u2014we spend hours upon hours every day looking at screens, scrolling through social media, swiping and tapping and of course, buying things.<\/p>\n<p>Every eye-catching ad and perfectly targeted sponsored post you see is the handiwork of a skilled digital marketer. Digital marketing is <strong>big <\/strong>business\u2014according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/237974\/online-advertising-spending-worldwide\/\">Statista<\/a>, brands around the world <strong>spent $378.16 billion on digital advertising in 2020<\/strong>. And that\u2019s <em>just <\/em>digital advertising, a subset of digital marketing.<\/p>\n<p>To help you become a dynamite digital marketer, we rounded up a list of marketing courses that will teach you specific skills you need to compete in this competitive arena.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing the most valuable digital marketing courses for yourself<\/h2>\n<p>If you already have some digital marketing experience, you probably don\u2019t need to start at the very beginning with super-basic digital marketing courses. Similarly, if you\u2019ve been tasked with just one or two aspects of digital marketing\u2014writing SEO blog content, for example\u2014you can skip right to the courses that focus on the specific areas you need to level up in.<\/p>\n\n<figure data-id=\"245745\" id=\"mediaattachment_245745\"  class=\"figure--right\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10164 wp-image-245745 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/v1706277431\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/en-us\/attachment_114896209-scaled-e1632072381961\/attachment_114896209-scaled-e1632072381961.jpg?_i=AA\" alt=\"illustration of a peasant holding a beer and an upward sword\" width=\"1062\" height=\"992\" \/>    <p><em>T-shirt design by <a  href=\"https:\/\/99designs.com\/profiles\/1512294\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-track-click data-track-hover >Alexandra G Mocanu<\/a> via 99designs by Vista.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h3>Choose your teaching method<\/h3>\n<p>There are lots of ways to develop your digital marketing skills. One is to immerse yourself in digital marketing communities and \u201ctalk shop\u201d with others who have been in the industry longer than you have. Another is to enroll in a traditional professional or college program and take courses a la carte or alongside others to count toward a degree. But in this blog post, we\u2019re focusing on online, largely self-paced courses.<\/p>\n<p>Self-paced means that instead of having a start date, end date and otherwise adhering to a set schedule (like class is from 12-2 every Wednesday, for example), all the material is online and available for you to work through at a pace you can handle. With this kind of course, you get the kind of focused, linear instruction you would get in a traditional classroom, but with the benefits of being able to learn at your own pace, anywhere in the world. And best of all, many of these courses are free! And the ones that aren\u2019t are still significantly less expensive than a traditional academic course.<\/p>\n<h3>Research the topics on offer, beforehand<\/h3>\n<p>In order to choose which digital marketing courses are right for you, take a look at the topics each one covers. Click on each course\u2019s page to read reviews from past students\u2014some pages include these, others don\u2019t. If a particular course doesn\u2019t list testimonials from previous students, do a Google search for that course to see if there are reviews to be found online.<\/p>\n\n<figure data-id=\"246003\" id=\"mediaattachment_246003\"  class=\"figure--full\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-post-10164 wp-image-246003 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/res.cloudinary.com\/vistaprint\/images\/v1706277407\/ideas-and-advice-prod\/en-us\/attachment_62520603-e1632487312716\/attachment_62520603-e1632487312716.png?_i=AA\" alt=\"clever digital logo for digital marketing agency \" width=\"1875\" height=\"810\" \/>    <p><em>It&#8217;s smart to come prepared.
