Who are these digital marketing courses designed for?

Our courses are built specifically for busy small business owners who want to grow their business online but don't have the time — or the patience — to wade through jargon-heavy training. Whether you're just starting out or looking to sharpen your existing marketing, there's a course tier for you.

Do I need any marketing experience to get started?

Not at all. Our Essentials course is designed for complete beginners, and every lesson is written in plain English — no marketing jargon, no tech speak. If you can spare 20 minutes a day, you can do this.

What topics do the digital marketing courses cover?

Our courses walk you through the key pillars of digital marketing: building your online presence, mastering Google and SEO, social media strategy, email and SMS marketing, and AI-powered tools — plus bonus guides and downloadable resources.

What's the difference between the Essentials, Deluxe, and Expert courses?

Each tier builds on the last. Essentials covers the fundamentals to get you up and running. Deluxe goes deeper with 100+ actionable lessons across branding, SEO, social media, and automation. Expert is for those ready to accelerate results with advanced strategies. You can choose the level that matches where you're at.

How much time do I need to commit each day?

Just 20 minutes. Every lesson is designed to fit into a busy schedule — before the kids wake up, during your lunch break, or after you knock off for the day. No marathon study sessions required.

How much does a digital marketing course cost?

Plans start from just $49 per month. In most cases, our students find the course pays for itself within 3–6 months through the new customers and leads they generate.

Can I go at my own pace?

Absolutely. The courses are fully online and self-paced, so you can work through the lessons whenever it suits you. Jump ahead, revisit a topic, or take a break — it's entirely up to you.

What makes 20 Minute Marketing different from other online courses?

We've packed 25+ years of experience scaling startups and billion-dollar brands into bite-sized, actionable lessons built for small business. No fluff, no filler — just practical strategies you can implement the same day, in 20 minutes or less.

How long does each marketing lesson take?

Every lesson is designed to be completed in just 20 minutes, making it perfect for busy small business owners.

Do I need a large marketing budget?

No. Our courses teach you how to put your budget to work for you effectively, rather than wasting it on agencies.
