Wow, the internet is no joke. I have great respect for my fellow classmates and the eCommerce and Digital Marketing community. I never knew how much training and education went into building a business online. I feel like I am starting all over again. Not only did I learn tons of new information and concepts. Unfortunately, I also learned what I am not good at. But that's okay with me, and it's more important to do it right rather than just getting it done. I love digital marketing, storytelling, websites, and graphic design. Numbers and charts are my growth area. I will leave that to those of you who love numbers. I am so excited and grateful I can't wait to take the next course.

One of the best courses to learn about digital marketing. The content is great and the tutors are just amazing. There are so many great concepts learned I was not aware of before this course and the Important thing is the sequence of the course is curated. Learning from digital marketing and e-commerce to how marketing funnels work and how to know your customer better and build marketing strategies. Knowing about different marketing channels and how to collect and leverage data for better and more effective campaigns and the art of data storytelling.

I bet anyone interested in learning about digital marketing or e-commerce, this is the best option to get started. Good luck.

Thanks a lot for this incredible learning journey! I haven’t even expected to learn such new and useful stuff! My main takeaways are about essential concepts like a marketing funnel, a customer journey, a digital marketing strategy, etc. It was valuable to explore how to attract customers and measure results using different metrics. SEO and SEM are extremely new things for me and I can’t wait to explore them in detail! Before I enrolled in this program I hoped to learn something new for me that would be helpful for me on my path to creating my own business! But now I don’t hope. I’m totally sure this powerful knowledge will empower me to manage everything that I planned!

Great course to overview modern digital marketing and eCommerce landscape. Note – This is part 1 of 7 so it is more of an entre course on these topics! It provides an excellent 4 week intro overview for modern digital marketing without burying you with vendors or tools. In the age of hyper social media, targeted ads, online buying, and influencer culture – this teases apart how these all come together under the digital marketing umbrella for companies, people, and teams! The course ends with data storytelling, data analytics, and attribution models at the end – very high level only (what is it and why it matters). Google does it again with the unmatched content!!

This course provides a comprehensive and informative overview of the industry, as well as a wealth of useful information about entry-level employment. I am excited to find my niche while gaining expertise in one (or more) of the many positions that will hopefully be available once I complete this program. You'll get out of it what you put in to it. The delivery of this curriculum allows me to learn at my own pace. It emphasizes relevant points and supports a variety of learning styles. I'd suggest taking notes to reinforce and review what is presented in the videos, written pages, and infographics. Success is almost guaranteed if you care and participate.

This course has given me such incredible insights and new knowledge about marketing and e-commerce. I was surprised with how much work actually goes into marketing a business and learned that it isn’t just about sales. There are so any moving parts to creating a successful digital marketing strategy, and I learned that the ‘little things’ in marketing matter just as much as the big outcomes I typically see from well-known businesses. It was a joy learning the fundamentals and can’t wait to learn more of it in depth. This course truly has sparked so much interest in me.

This course has been priceless in the knowledge and confidence it has given me. I look forward to completing the entire digital marketing and e-commerce certificate. I recommend this to anyone struggling with what to do next with their lives.

I had no confidence in myself and my ability to retain this information. I have not had the best experience with trying to learn on my own in the past.

I feel like I have a solid understanding of where I can use these skills I am learning and look forward to seeing how these course will change my life for the better.

I really liked the course "Foundations of Digital Marketing and E-commerce." I found out a lot of information I never knew before and realized how many times I was interacting with marketing without even realizing it. I was surprised by the methods of teaching during the course, as the information was presented concisely and in an easy-to-understand manner. I hope to learn how to create ads in Google. I did not encounter any major unexpected things because I had little prior knowledge of digital marketing, but now I have a solid foundation to build upon.

This was an excellent foundational course, giving useful and practical insights into digital marketing and e-commerce. Before this course, I had yet to develop the vocabulary and frame of understanding of marketing beyond the traditional marketing mix. I was able to get enough of a glimpse to start to know what I don't know. I'm feeling more confident moving forward to drill down on the foundational concepts learned and apply them in practice scenarios to gain the skills needed to improve my current and future performance in digital marketing.

Learning online is very challenging. Learning another vocabulary I found difficult. I liked having lots of tests and especially I liked doing the small projects. They were fun. The discusssion groups were sometimes helpful. It was comforting to know that lots of students were having the same thoughts as I was. I feel after taking the 4 first courses that I have accompplished what I wished. I am not sure if I will be able to complete the last three courses. I am trying. I need some help in taking notes on the course. Where is it that located?

This was a fantastic course! It delivered an exceptional breakdown of the core fundamentals that make up the foundation of digital marketing. It allowed me to understand better what makes up digital marketing. As well as giving me valuable insight in regards to figuring out a potential future in this career field. Each lesson was concise and articulated information in easily digestible ways. And the price of this course in regards to the value held within it essentially pays for itself. This was a phenomenal start to a journey of learning.

For individuals who are new to E-commerce and digital marketing, this course is extremely beneficial as it provides clear explanations of industry-specific terminology through its video content. Additionally, it offers guidance on identifying relevant keywords for job searches within the digital marketing and E-commerce fields.

I loved the learning material provided in the course. It might seem like a very basic and simple course, but it is jam packed with a lot of useful knowledge which necessary for anybody who is just starting out in Digital marketing and E-commerce.

I have a small issue with the production quality of the content. I'm an audio engineer and I have noticed several issues with the audio quality of the course videos. I have corrected a few of them and are willing to collaborate with Coursera and google for the betterment of this fantastic course.

Fantastic foundation for digital marketing. It really makes you think about which direction to take it since the field is quite vast. You can't do it all. In fact, they don't recommend that you do and because of that, you know that this course is on the level. There will be many people trying to sell you a course that will tell you can. That's just for them to take your money. This is the best value that I've seen price performance wise, even compared to LinkedIn Learning with a library card or education institution number.

This course is fantastic! Between the video instruction and the readings, one can gain a clear foundational understanding of the amount of work that goes into marketing and e-commerce. I particularly enjoyed learning about the marketing funnel as it was an eye-opener as to why one might be receiving an ad or viewing a marketing campaign at any given time. I highly recommend you watch each video twice, once just to hear the information provided, the second to take notes as the main concepts of each lesson are shared there.

I'm excited to explore performance marketing and data storytelling further. I highly recommend this course for comprehensive marketing knowledge. It deserves a perfect 5/5 rating!

Being from a marketing background and working in an e-commerce industry, this course really helped to understand how digital marketing is the need of the hour. This course will help you to understand the basics of digital marketing and e-commerce and as one move forward in the course, one can learn more about planning and execution of the strategies learned so far. Interpretation of data is very important for any organization and you will learn about the basics of data interpretation too at the end of this course.
