Our third BAKERY’s Half-Dozen: 6 Weeks to A Tastier Business course is now open for new students — register here! The class will begin on April 19, 2010, but be sure to register soon because space is limited and there are only 18 days to register.

The Half-Dozen course is 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! you know who you are — this is your kick in the pants to get moving!)
• 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.
