What sort of online work are you looking to offer on fiverr? just VA work or copywriting? Social media management? etc.

udemy has a LOT of courses around this sort of stuff, usually for £9.99 and of course you can mark it as an 'expense'

That’s where I’m lost, I love being creative so more along the lines of creative writing, design. There is so many out there I want to make sure I’m figuring the right training. Oh I have had a nosey on that site. Have you used it at all?

If you browse hotukdeals, they often post links to Udemy courses that have been discounted to free for a certain period of time. Not sure if any would be relevant to what you are looking for but got to be worth a look?

How are you getting on @Butterflygurl88 ? Have you managed to gain some new skills to help you maybe make some money from one of the many freelancer platforms out there?

Hi jon, I have been working through a few different courses, mainly writing and design . I have been jumping around different companies to see who are best to work with as a back up. It’s all very new

You could use your design skills to do t shirt design on Amazon Merch. You have to apply for it and its a bit random in the way they accept applications. Worth a try if you're already a bit nifty with designs so youve not wasted lots of time if you get turned down. Theres a thread on here about it

Here are some free courses for everything from being a 'Virtual assistant' to 'How to sell on Amazon'. Some of them might be introductory workshops, rather than a full blown course.

I have done the 'Proofreader' course and I'm just about to try a pinterest course from this blog.

15 free courses = https://mumsmoney.com/free-work-from-home-courses/

Pinterest course = https://breakingtheonepercent.teachable.com/p/the-perfect-pin

Learn to earn money on Etsy with digital downloads = https://mumsmoney.com/passive-income-on-etsy/

Note: There are a few tutorials on Youtube, it's just a matter of going through them and weeding out the scam videos or the waste of time ones.


Here's some free courses on teachable. I have done a couple self publishing courses on here.
There are other courses you can pay for.

I would say video editing for fivver due to YouTube increasing and people needing videos to be edited.. that skill will grow forever. Also learn to trade, I started learning 3 years ago.
