There never seems to be enough time to do all the things that we want. For new writers, it’s not just about putting words on the page, getting it edited and proofread, it’s also about website creation, blogging and producing other content that will generate an interest in you and generate income from your books and, if you have them, other services.

It is to say the least, overwhelming at times. With the Corona virus sweeping the world, more and more people are finding themselves stuck at home. Instead of constantly flicking between each of your social media accounts, online newspapers and glancing at the TV, now is the time to spend a little quality time, that you say you never have, to learn a new skill.

An email I received on Saturday from Dave Chesson of Kindlepreneur had a couple of links within it to help with this process. Whether you are new to blogging or have lots of experience, these courses can provide some great information in improving the way you attract visitors to your site.

The first is for AHrefs, a site that has tools to help you grow your search traffic. The course Blogging for Business is normally $799 but for a limited time, they are offering it for free. Covering areas such as: Converting visitors to subscribers, Keyword research, Search engine optimization (SEO) and a host of other things. I am a little under halfway through the course and have already learned a great deal.

The second link is for Digital Marketer Lab. Through to the end of March, anyone affected by Covid-19 can sign up without needing a credit card. Just click on the banner at the top of their page to learn more and make use of their training.

I only wish that I had discovered these two learning opportunities earlier. But there’s still a week left and I intend to make the most of the time available. I hope you do too!
