    Craig Cannings

    Chief Learning Officer, Freelance University

    In 2008, my wife Kelly and I co-founded Freelance University with the purpose of becoming the #1 go-to training center for Freelancers and VAs from around the globe! As of this year, we have successfully trained over 25,000 Virtual Assistants and Freelancers in more than 75 countries. Kelly and I have had the great privilege of building our Online University while raising our 5 daughters who are the greatest blessings of our lives. I look forward to meeting you and seeing you either in this program or at our University very soon. I leave you with my favorite quote from marketing guru, Seth Godin: "The only worse thing than starting something and failing... is not starting something."
Eight years ago, we launched our very first Internet Marketing Virtual Assistant Program, and at the time, very few businesses were hiring VAs for Internet Marketing support. Today the landscape has completely changed, and there are all sorts of e...

    This course was invaluable to me, particularly a new VA who is getting started in the area of Internet marketing. What was most helpful was the breakdown of the different aspects of Internet marketing. For example, I would have lumped SEO services with Website optimization. The final module on "Building a profitable Internet Marketing Service" was helpful in that it provided a sample order and menu of services that you can provide your clients. Such an invaluable course. I found it challenging yet rewarding!
