Course Description
Creating an online business of any type can be a daunting task but without sales and marketing skills you won't get far. Most likely you have your product or service, perhaps a new website, and now you wait for that money to pour in. The problem? It never does. There is much more to an online business than selling a product or service and then collecting money. One of the most important things you need to do is marketing. If you are not in a position to hire a marketing expert then doing it yourself is the next best way. It is needed no matter what type of business you do.
This sales and marketing course is designed to get you started in the right direction by making it super simple. It is a basic course designed for beginners and those who may be struggling to earn any sales or get traffic to their websites. This course will cover tips for making sales and various marketing techniques. For example did you know that a product with a personal story behind it outsells those that don't? I'll explain in the course. Did you know that video is a fantastic way to build your brand and bring in sales? I cover that as well. Other things we will discuss are tips for optimizing your website, blogging, traffic, video, paid advertising methods, email, offline marketing, customer service, branding, creating a call to action, social media, and so much more! By the time this course ends you will have everything you need to take your online business to the next level by utilizing marketing.
While you take this course you can feel confident that you are learning from someone who has been where you are now. I have been running multiple online businesses for awhile now. I've had my failures and I've had my success. I learned what it takes to grow a successful business and now I am going to teach you using 100% video lectures and video tutorials. It will take a few weeks to complete this sales and marketing course as we will cover a lot but it will be well worth it. If you have advanced skills in marketing or are looking for advanced information on marketing this course is not for you.

My name is Mike and in 2012 I was forced to change my life after a series of unfortunate events. That lead me to new experiences and a new way of life. It also lead me to creating multiple successful online businesses. This includes a successful Etsy shop.
Besides being an entrepreneur I am best known for my work as an actor and filmmaker. I came to Udemy to teach others about how I succeeded working as a self employed individual. When I started I had to figure it all out on my own. I learned what worked and what didn't. I thought it would be helpful to others who may be where I was to learn what I learned. I created these courses for that reason. My courses are honest, packed full of important information you may not find anywhere else and inspiration to keep you moving forward on your road to success.

Thanks so much for a fun filled casual course. I loved the video clip and sound elements. The course was quite compact and intense, yet interesting and engaging. However, I am not too impressed with the "Quiz" grading and format. I found it too cumbersome, I salute you Mike M. Burke and would not hesitate to recommend you in the future. I look forward to further courses with you in the near future.

Helpful in getting started with the basics. Especially for someone who isn't from a business background and knows very little to nothing about marketing or sales.
By Niranjan Shankar on 4/9/2020
It is an excellent beginner's course. Though this isn't an exhaustive course, Mike has pointed in the right direction with a lot of keywords. There could have been a few more minutes spent on types of advertising - PPC, PTC etc., Nevertheless, if you are like me who doesn't know anything about sales and marketing but looking to learn, this is a good place to start.
By Bohdana Zahorulko on 9/18/2019
There are a lot of good advices for beginners. Just could be better to have some practical things to see how it works on the computer (we had just one example like that about Keyword Planner Tool). But, anyway, I'm grateful for the course! Hope it will help you to advertise your business too!

I loved this course! Short, straight to the point, not boring, and useful! But I felt like the content is a bit outdated. Mike, you should do another course on new sales and marketing techniques!

His engaging personality especially when narrating through tools applied in real life experiences was pretty help. I feel I can check on those tools for future use based on his reactions and I also have an idea of what no to do based on his cautionary statements.

yeah, it is a excellent course as a beginner level , so those who want to begin with understanding about concepts on marketing must do it...well done .
By Danelle DeWitt on 2/11/2018
Information is good. However, need to update the video on keyword research. Google Adword Keyword Planner is no longer free. The very least, supply an alternative(s) to work with. Other information appears to be applicable.

This course gives you the basic foundation that you will need if you are starting an online business for the first time. It will highlight the key things you should do to be successful in online sales & marketing.
By Francisco Ribeiro on 11/4/2015
This is one of the best courses on Udemy in this category. Mike's way of thinking, reasoning, examples and suggestions are great, easy to understand and most of the times makes me think "How didn't I think of that?" Just take the course and you won't be sorry.
