Depends what your goals are. If you want to be a freelancer you should have a general understanding of how to market yourself and your projects. I think if you the clearer in what you want to achieve, then it will be easier to find your answer.

I dunno dude but treehouse has everything. Business and Wordpress for sure. Dev tools if you want to get serious with your work. I know this is not part of your question but for the coding part if you want to do front-end dev then HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Back-end I would suggest PHP, Ruby on Rails, and MySQL, Git even for more dynamic websites and projects. All depends what you want to do.
