“Just finished Paul Drecksler’s SEO audio course to refresh my own skills. Definitely heard what needed to be re-heard. Whether you’re just getting started or rehoming your skillset, the courses are a hidden gem.”

-Jon Santangelo

“Andrea’s vlogging course was pretty amazing. I think so many of us are scared to get in front of the camera, and she really brings it down to basics by providing advice and tips you could implement as soon as you finish the Internet Crash Course. I really enjoyed it and found value in it.”

-Sophie Bellamy

“I’ve been blogging a while now and trying to learn everything alone with just the free information on the web. I’ve been feeling stuck for a bit now realizing I needed something with a bit more depth. Last night I decided to try Internet Crash Courses and I was not disappointed. Originally I thought I’d just power through all the lessons and then glean what I could. I had to stop after the first one so that I can put a plan together and implement what I learned. I’m so excited to get to the rest and feel a bit of a renewal on my direction. I’m looking forward to the new classes as well – so excited!!”

-Bonnie Truax

“This is amazing! Everyone has so much information on things that I wouldn’t have even thought about to help me run my business! I really enjoyed Kyle Ellerbrock’s Facebook course. It was really an eye opener. If you have any type of business or blog online, you need this! The information is worth more than gold for sure! Keep up the amazing work!”

-Tylee Ertel

“Stephanie’s in person networking crash course made me realize that despite how our lives are so digital, there’s no replacement for meeting people in person when trying to grow a community around a blog or business. Her course helped me realize that if you can’t find an event you like, you should make your own!”

-Juan Felipe Cardona

“I was super excited to listen to the courses that Stephanie and Paul offer. I’ve been working online for 3 years now on social media, digital marketing, SEO, affiliate, and I wondered what could I learn from the courses. I’m not disappointed at all. I think they can accommodate both beginners and those who are pretty confident in what they do already. I’ve picked up great advice from every podcast I’ve listened to that I’ve never heard before. I’m pumped to listen to upcoming topics. Many of the speakers that they have on board are people I look up to on this field. I highly recommend Internet Crash Courses whether you are on a basic level or already rocking your way!”

Who teaches the courses?

Internet Crash Courses are taught by select contributors who have expertise in various skill sets. The interviews are hosted by our co-founders Stephanie Linder and Paul Drecksler. While our guest experts can offer extensive and comprehensive knowledge in a particular area, our Internet Crash Courses are not designed to be the end all be all on a particular subject, but rather provide as much information in as little time a possible about a particular subject to bloggers, vloggers, and content creators. We scratch past the surface on subjects to provide a well rounded crash course and prepare you to take action right away with what you learned as well as provide a foundation for future exploration of that topic.

Who are these courses for?

Internet Crash Courses are designed specifically for bloggers, vloggers, and content creators including podcasters, e-book writers, course creators, influencers, and more. There is a big overlap between these worlds as most creators are involved in producing content across multiple mediums and platforms. Since you don’t have time to take full courses on every subject that matters, Internet Crash Courses comes to the rescue with short and easy to digest downloadable audio interviews that you can listen to anywhere.

How are these crash courses different from typical podcast interviews?

Internet Crash Courses are produced as interviews because it’s easier to engage with and learn from a conversation than it is a lecture. However these aren’t your typical podcast interviews. In our courses, there is no fluff, no long intros, no ads, no sales pitches, and no sponsors. Our courses are designed specifically to provide as much information in as little time a possible and we dive right into hard hitting questions with experts from the moment you press play.

As content creators ourselves, we don’t care about the small talk in typical interviews. We just want the value. We don’t want to listen to the unrelated fluff and long intros at the beginning of podcasts. We just want to get straight to the topic at hand. We don’t like ads in podcasts – they are annoying. Long sales pitches to buy thing are even worse. You won’t find any of that in Internet Crash Courses because we don’t want it either! Our promise to you is to deliver short, value packed, and easy to digest downloadable audio interviews with subject matter experts that will provide you with actionable steps that you can take immediately to implement what you’ve learned.
