For years I have charge for the SageRock Institute Online Marketing Courses.

But I've been really influenced by how major universities are making their classes totally free. I truly believe information wants to be free. So I've decided to make my entire library free. There will be no cost ever.

Oh! Here are some testimonials of what people have said about my classes (I'm not your ordinary teacher.) If you like boring, monotone speakers I'm probably not for you.

Cool. I'm excited this got posted.

I thought I'd tell you a little more about these courses.

I've been creating them for years. If you look at the archive you will see that they go way back.

I've always had a thing for teaching. I've been a professor in Residence at the University of Findlay in Ohio teaching social media. I've taught SEO, Google Analytics and Social Media at Cleveland State University. I've taught one off courses at places like the University of Akron and many others.

And then I've also taught at more conferences than I can remember.

I used to spend a lot of time traveling to speak. But my son is now 12 years old. We've got a really special bond. I feel like this is a really unique time in my life. So I've cut way back on traveling. Like nearly zero travel.

I've moved almost all of my training to online. The vast majority of all my training course are now at the SageRock Institute.

Although I've been doing some live training sessions at our Facebook Group:

https://www.facebook.com/groups/sagerockmembers/

I delved into all the reasons why I chose to make the SageRock Institute free at our blog here:
https://www.sagerock.com/blog/ive-ch...-courses-free/. So I don't think it's necessary to rehash that here.

Let me just say this: The Warrior Forum is a prime example of the information culture at its best. There is a ton of really helpful information here.

My contribution with this SageRock Institute, hopefully, is to be a place where you can find a wide variety of video training courses to grow your business or organization. I've been doing this work and teaching this work since 1999. If there is anything I'm confident about in my life it is that I know what the hell I'm talking about in this space. You aren't going to go wrong watching my videos.

Everything I teach is geared towards the pursuit of creating valuable content that will then generate new business for you. I'm not some black hat spammer that is going to get you kicked off Google or Facebook.

So, there you have it. I hope you find my courses useful. I also try very hard to make the fun. Hopefully I'll keep your attention.

If you have any questions please just let me know.

Take care,
Sage

And let me add this quickly...

I have courses up at one of the leading course distributors out there.

I very likely will no longer post courses over there even though I might be able to sell them for a little money. I've got over 6000 students on their platform.

They, in my opinion, are not in line with where content is headed online. They are a closed garden that strictly prohibits sharing this kind of extra content with students that is outside of their network. That's fine. It's their place and they can do what they want with it.

But I'm going to be focused on places that are geared towards open content and open sharing philosophies.

I'd rather make no money and have someone get something out of my classes that be involved in a community that is based on being private and closed.
