Webinars and other online courses are great tools for homesteaders. Homesteaders who live in remote, rural areas will find online courses particularly useful. Online courses can fill community knowledge gaps that homesteaders might only have been able to fill through community college classes, conventions, or meetups.
Dozens of courses in areas that will interest the typical homesteader are available at reasonable prices. The industry is so successful, in fact, that there’s plenty of incorrect and poorly constructed webinars out there. We’ve compiled a list of useful, interesting courses, taught by qualified instructors, which are run by trustworthy sites and companies.
