Read MoreVery good! It is a bit long so be prepared to break up the time slots you allow yourself to take this course. In breaking down the sections it will give you time to research software applications, time for the information to sink in. If you have a bookkeeping background it is a great refresher and most likely you will breeze through quickly. How to marketing, sell your service and social media section at the end really is applicable to any online service business. Tammy does a great job of breaking it all down into sizable chunks with a lots of great tools and references.
