One day I ran across this link that said "Get your masters in internet marketing." And since I teach internet marketing strategies, I was intrigued, so I investigated. Sure enough, there are degrees offered online that allow a person to get a formal education in internet marketing. You must have a bachelor's degree to get into the Masters program.
The coursework is intense and involves learning every aspect of marketing online. Here is a sample of the classes offered: Now, there are a lot of "Online Marketing Coaches" on the internet who are offering these kinds of classes for much less. You wouldn't earn a degree of course, but it's kind of like going to school. You still have to listen, take notes, practice and apply what you're learning. It is interesting how the internet has spawned so many careers with the activity that goes on daily in marketing, promotion, sales, information marketing, etc.
Surely you can get a fantastic education for very little money if you are self-taught for the most part. I know one millionaire mom who doesn't have a bachelor's degree, is completely self-taught and became successful by reading, applying, doing, fixing, studying, practicing and doing all the things it takes to master the art of online marketing.
