Hiya,

I think this is the correct place to post this?

I recently purchased a course from Udemy and found a lot of value in it to do with instagram. I am looking at purchasing one for facebook ads next as well as other courses in the future. The courses are around £10-£15 (says its a reduced price but I would say that's just a to pressurize the sale).

This is obviously one off payments for each course. However skillshare you pay so much a year. Would you guys say skillshare is better in terms of resources? Comes out at £13/month or £84 billed once a month.

Cheers for reading

Very thinly veiled advert?

Very thinly veiled advert?

op took ~10 years and 1432 posts to build up to posting his advert - I'd say that's dedication that deserves some click throughs!

Maybe you should do a course on fonts.

The font and style suggests a copy and paste and why couldn't he have recently got into supporting Skillshare? After 10k posts why would you not know if GD was the right place to post?

I know people can't do anything without asking the internet these days and I can't see how he would benefit directly. It may be legit, just seemed odd.

That was copied and pasted though right? I see Skillshare have an affiliate program, I am suspicious.

Tell me I am wrong.

I asked on a business facebook page as well.

I heard about skillshare through a youtuber but I am not an affiliate :S

Main reason for posting is I learn't a lot from 1 course on Udemy and it cost me £10. Thought if I keep paying for courses I would probably benefit form the subscription skillshare offer but I have no experience on skillshare so I thought ide post to see if anyone here recommends.

the thing with a subscription service is what happens when you end your sub - do you stop having access to the material at that point? that's why i prefer using something like udemy - you pay once and have lifetime access to the course you bought.

Skill share is trash sorry.
I tried their free trial and they lack so much content and most of the tuition they do have is lacking in the actual teaching bit!

Paying for courses to tell you how to use Facebook ads... what?

Done a lot of research elsewhere but I wanted to dive deeper into it for something I'm launching soon.

I've used Udemy for a few courses. Some for work (they paid and I got Topcashback ) and some for personal development. For example,I taught myself Python using a free course. There is a Facebook group entirely devoted to identifying free courses.
Like all things, some are good, some aren't. If they're free it's hard to complain.
