Seven modules. All practical.
No fluff modules. No theory for theory's sake. Every lesson connects to something you actually build or do. Work through it at your own pace, start to finish, about 40-60 hours of real work.
Build a real website
WordPress from scratch. Your own domain, your own hosting, yours to keep. By the end of module 1 you have a working website, not a theoretical one.
Search engine optimization
Keywords, on-page SEO, technical SEO, link building. How to actually rank in Google. Implemented on your real site, not in theory.
Web analytics
Google Analytics set up properly. Which numbers actually matter. How to read what your visitors are telling you and act on it.
E-Mail-Marketing
List building, segmentation, automations, and campaigns. Set up a real email system on your site and send your first campaign by the end of the module.
Search engine marketing
Google Search & Display ads, properly. Includes Google's own official certifications as assignments, earned for free as part of the course.
Marketing für soziale Medien
The platforms that matter, what each one is useful for, and how to build a real social presence without becoming an exhausted content machine.
Facebook & Instagram ads
Set up, run, scale, and optimize paid social campaigns. The platform where most beginners quietly lose money, done properly.
Graduation & certification
Pass the assignments, earn your certification. Add it to LinkedIn. Put it on your CV. Use it however you like. It's yours.
Why is it actually free?
Fair question. Most “free” courses on the internet are bait for a $1,997 upsell that arrives three emails in.
This one isn't. The whole course is free, forever, including the certification. The real reason is simple: when you build your website in module 1, you need web hosting. If you use one of the hosting partners I recommend, I earn a small commission when you sign up. That's it. That's the whole business model.
You pay the hosting company what you'd have paid them anyway. I get paid by them, not you. You get a complete marketing education with nothing to hide and no upsell. Over a million students have taken it on exactly these terms.
No credit card is required to sign up. You only need one in module 1, when you set up your website, and the decision of which hosting to use is entirely yours.
A million students can't all be wrong.
The first mission of Max Business School was to put a million people through a full digital marketing education, for free, anywhere on earth with internet access. We hit that number in 2024. The course keeps running because the mission didn't end there.
Honest questions.
Do I need any experience to start?
No. The course assumes you've never run a website, never written marketing copy, and never touched an ad platform. Module 0 walks you through domain, hosting, and getting set up from zero. If you can use Google and type, you can do this.
How long does it take?
Most students finish in 8 to 12 weeks at a few hours per week. Some move faster, some slower. The course is fully self-paced, nothing expires, and you can come back any time.
What is the certification worth?
The Max Business School certification shows employers that you've completed a comprehensive, project-based marketing education and that you've actually built, written, and shipped real work. It's not a substitute for a university degree, but it's a substantive signal for marketing, content, and startup roles. Graduates report using it successfully in job applications and LinkedIn profiles.
Do I need to pay for anything?
The course and certification are completely free. In module 1 you set up a real website, which means buying a domain and web hosting. The hosting we recommend starts at roughly $3 per month. That's the only cost, and it goes to the hosting company, not to us.
What happens after I graduate?
You earn your certification and keep access to the whole course. If you want to go further and start a specific business with what you've learned, Max Incubator is the natural next step. If you want to apply for marketing jobs, you've got the certification and a portfolio of real work to show.
Why is it really free? What's the catch?
No catch. The course is free forever. When you set up web hosting in module 1, we earn a small commission from the hosting company if you use one of our recommended providers. That's the whole business model. You pay the hosting what you'd pay them anyway. We get paid by them, not by you.
A million students started here. Your turn.
