I am surprised by how much I have learned about e-commerce and digital marketing. I had a general understanding of these topics before, but this program has given me a much deeper understanding of how they work. I am particularly interested in the concepts of customer journey mapping and data-driven attribution. I think these concepts are essential for businesses that want to be successful in e-commerce.

I am also interested in the concept of content marketing. I think content marketing is a great way to reach new customers and build relationships with existing customers. I am excited to learn more about how to create effective content marketing campaigns.

The most unexpected thing I learned is how important it is to have a strong brand identity in e-commerce. I had never really thought about the importance of branding before, but this program has made me realize how important it is for businesses to stand out from the competition.

Overall, I am very happy with the program so far. I have learned a lot and I am excited to continue learning. I am confident that this program will help me to be successful in e-commerce.

The introduction part with the best teacher Joi made the entire course more easy to understand. At first I was overwhelmed and frustrated because I was new to this platform course and also didn't knew how it will go. Because I had no money for other courses .Then I came across coursera and I decided to take one . Because I was always been rejected as digital marketer because I only had a good theoretical knowledge but had no practical experience. Due to this I have been jobless. But I had to earn for family and also when I decided to opt for the course I had tears in my eyes because I already paid money for subscription and had no idea later how to use. I was wondering whole night whether I would be gaining the knowledge I needed to get the job. But later with few lectures I started enjoying everything. I had spent sleepless nights due to stress but this course liflift me up from there. Then I wondered whether I would be able to understand what the mentors will teach but Joi itself gave it a great start. Apart from course 3 course 1 and course 2 teachers Joi and Coach Ak are the reason II'm Feeling worthy and confident of continuing the course and having a hope that I will get a job after this course completion. Thankyou Google and coursera

Saya sangat terkesan dengan penekanan pada pentingnya menggabungkan data, narasi yang menarik, dan visualisasi yang jelas untuk menciptakan cerita data yang kuat. Proses mulai dari memilih data yang relevan hingga membangun narasi yang menyampaikan wawasan secara efektif menunjukkan betapa pentingnya setiap langkah dalam menyampaikan pesan yang jelas kepada audiens. Selain itu, pemahaman mendalam tentang berbagai model atribusi dan bagaimana data analitik dapat digunakan untuk mengukur keberhasilan strategi pemasaran memberikan perspektif yang lebih luas tentang cara kerja pemasaran berbasis kinerja. Memahami bagaimana menghubungkan setiap titik sentuh pelanggan dengan hasil yang diinginkan membantu dalam merancang strategi yang lebih baik. Secara keseluruhan, materi ini memperkaya pengetahuan saya tentang bagaimana menerjemahkan data menjadi wawasan yang dapat ditindaklanjuti dan bagaimana menyampaikannya dengan cara yang efektif. Saya berharap untuk menerapkan konsep-konsep ini dalam proyek pemasaran mendatang dan terus mengeksplorasi teknik-teknik baru dalam penceritaan data.

A great start to learn all the basic terminology for the high growth fields of Marketing and E-commerce!

Thank you Google and Coursera for collecting all essential information and building this foundation background for these exciting fields!

Being a teacher myself, I loved the content, the structure as well as the examples given to enhance better undestanding, the consistent feedback provided to track and monitor the progress and finally the chance of networking and interacting with other participants via the discussion forum. What I would love to see is more interaction between participants and more live presence (e.g. instant messaging features) to increase community inolvement, to improve brainstorming and networking! This is something to consider for the next courses to come!

Once again, many thanks for the great content and value of this course, as I am currently developping a new skillset I cannot wait to master and prove later on. I look forward to the next courses of this professional certificate! See you soon!

This course is thorough in teaching the basics of Digital Marketing and E-Commerce, in my opinion. I have learned and retained so much information that all I want to do is share it with eveveryone. I want to tell anyone that they should to take this course and reap the benefits it brings along with it. I has opened my eyes to see how Marketing actually works. Now i am able to see a marketing strategy anywhere and think in the way a marketer would. I am now able to break it down in my head just by looking at a poster in a publoc space, an online ad, a televised ad, a social media ad and many other forms of a marketing strategy. Also learning that SEO is a thing and now not having to wonder why those ads on search engines are always there when I search on any of them. Learning there are many ways to narket a product or service varies for everyone and that not everything works for everyone. I truly do enjoy this course through its entirety. I highly recommend it.

These are the few points that could justify my rating:

1) The amount of details and explanation provided is great for a beginner.

2) The information is segmented in such a way that a person doesn't get bored and stays interactive during the session.

3)There is a lot of flexibility provided to the student which helps them finish the course according to their own pace.

4) The discussion section also provides a more intimate relation amongst the students taking the course and provides genuine views and feedback regarding related topics as well.

5) We also get a variety of views and inspiring stories of the employees at Google which gives this course a real life touch and feel.

The only thing I would like to improve is the difficulty of the questions asked. The questions can be a little tricky which would let the student apply their true knowledge with better hold on their concepts regarding the topics.

I like the combination of media used for teaching: video, reading and quizzes. There is also a chat bot that you can practice with in each module of a course to ensure that you have a clear understanding of the material. I've only taken the foundational course, which seems very thorough. There are also links to tools in the resource tab to help you in your digital marketing efforts. There are forums that are mandatory to submit your answers to their questions. You can learn a lot by reading other students essays. I like that you have to obtain an 80% on the quizzes and exam to pass, which is a higher bar than if you took this type of course at a University. There are exercises to help you become clear about your career identity, transferable skills and which specializations would be best for you to pursue.

The first course of digital marketing and e-commerce was quite fulfilling. It started off easy with smaller topics to get you warmed up for the more specific information to come. I liked how each week was not overwhelmingly long and there was a lot of in-depth explanation. The introduction of various people working for google and their experiences also had a positive effect on my overall journey because their stories gave me motivation to push through. The video explanations were quite easy to follow and examples definitely helped a lot at times. Given that videos were not long, they left me longing for more which sets the table for the other courses to come and makes me very excited to further my knowledge and udnerstanding of digital marketing and e-commerce.

I was extremely pleased with the first course Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce as part of the Google Digital Marketing & E-commerce program. While I knew a lot of the functions of digital marketing, I wasn't strong with all of the vocabulary used to describe certain functions within digital marketing. The marketing funnel was new to me in its terminology. I am now in the second course and am loving all of the content. In regards to the instructor for the first course, I found her easy to understand. It was like talking to a good friend and learning things that interested me presented in an engaging way.
