Sorry — we had some technical difficulties. Here is the post and working links!

For those of you who have been waiting, the second BAKERY’s Half-Dozen: 6 Weeks to A Tastier Business course is now accepting students — register here! The first course will begin on February 1, 2010, but be sure to register soon because space is limited.

The Half-Dozen course is designed as an introductory course for small business owners, artists, and designers who would like to learn more about the fundamentals of running a successful business in the age of the Internet. Over the span of six (pretty intense, but fun) weeks, you’ll gain an understanding of the following key business components: business plans, marketing plans, media kits, press kits, public relations, networking (both social and offline) and advertising.

This course is great for:

• New/startup businesses
• Young businesses
• Procrastinators (ha! I bet there’s one of you out there!)
• Offline/brick and mortar businesses looking to expand or market online
• One-person businesses
• Artisans, designers, and crafters
• New bloggers

You can learn more about the course schedule and read the FAQs on the Half-Dozen website.
