How this list is made

We read the learner ratings that course sites publish on each course page (today: Coursera, Domestika, Maven, Udacity), and keep only courses with great feedback: at least 4.6 out of 5 from 500 or more learners on Coursera, 4.6 from 50 or more on Udacity, 97% positive from 300 or more on Domestika, and 4.6 from 10 or more reviews on Maven's live courses.

Courses must be taught in English and fit someone running their own business. Deep technical, academic and hobby courses are left out, as is anything controversial. Ranking weighs the rating by how many learners gave it, so a 4.8 from 20,000 people comes before a 5.0 from 12. Rebuilt every week.

Some well-known course sites block automated reading or publish no ratings, so they are not here yet. We will add them when they can be checked the same way.
