The Ultimate Toolkit For Marketing Anything

Our mission as a community is to constantly develop tools & find the best resources for creators. In this spirit we have collaborated with Julian Green to put together a list of the best Digital Marketing + self-learning tools & resources. The formal structure of tertiary education & training is changing. The internet and digital technologies have been the key drivers of this evolution. Julian has been sharing a treasure trove of the most cost-effective tools to help equip entrepreneurs to be fit for the future. There are plenty of free, valuable educational content, training & learning resources available for free to the public. The internet will educate you for free if you know where to look. All you need is a WiFi connection/laptop/pc/tablet/smartphone or a library with access.  The internet is the true equalizer.
