The world we are living in today is changing fast and one skill is not enough. You need to learn and improve your freelancing skills often to remain relevant in a super-competitive world.
Let’s review my go to websites to learn and improve my skills.
Want to learn what it takes to be a successful freelancer on Upwork?
1. Lynda.com (Recommended)
This is probably one of the best websites to learn and improve your skills.
Lynda.com offers the best learning experience with courses in web design (WordPress, Joomla, Magento) design, video, and audio, business skills, software, etc and once you complete your course – Certification is available.
Courses are taught by world renown experts and it costs only $25 per month to learn.
2. Youtube.com (Recommended)
Youtube is the largest video-sharing website at the moment with the content being uploaded by individuals, corporates, and universities.
You can learn and improve your skills very easily by just making a search for any problem that you are having, something that you want to learn.
I have used Youtube time and time again to learn and in turn I also upload videos to help and inform other people on anything I feel needs to be on there. It’s free to learn 🙂 .
