'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Starting a business can be challenging. There's even a support group for people who founded their own companies to share such unique experiences. And there are things you need to know to ensure your business's success. But while you don't have to spend years in school to learn them, trying to scrape together the proper knowledge by scouring the internet certainly isn't the best way to proceed. Fortunately, you can learn the steps needed to launch a successful business with the 12 courses in the 2022 MBA for Entrepreneurs Startup Bundle.
In "Be the Next Billionaire Entrepreneur," you can learn how to create business plans, marketing strategies and financial projections, discover how to protect intellectual property and many tools and techniques used by successful entrepreneurs. Then, "Producing the Ideal Business Plan" dives deeper into the initial draft, the proper accounting terms and more.
After you've launched your business, "How to Successfully Build Your Business Online" and "Growth Hacking" will show you strategies to expand it. Meanwhile, "Successful Business Management" and "How to Make Decisions & How to Solve Problems" teach you how to manage your company effectively.
"The Secrets of Effective Pitching" demonstrates how to explain the value of your business concisely, and "The Correct Way to Brand Your Business" is critical to that effort. Finally, "Networking the Most Effective Way" shows you how to use opportunities to their best advantage.
Obviously, in this day and age, social media plays a significant role in the success of a business. "Building Your Brand on Social Media" and "Getting the Most Out of Social Media" teach you to leverage that platform for the greatest success. In addition, learn how to develop an Environmental Management System (EMS) to accomplish objectives, including those required by legislation, in "Environmental Sustainability."
These courses are taught by Alun Hill, who has shared his expertise on business and marketing internationally in various publications, videos, websites, and radio reports that are currently syndicated around the globe.
