really liked how the courses covered important topics like customer segmentation, data analytics, and A/B testing. These insights gave me useful tools for my current job and showed me how crucial data-driven decisions are. What I loved most was the mix of theory and real-world examples. The videos made complex ideas easy to understand, and the interactive parts encouraged me to think deeply about marketing strategies and their effects on customers.

Very well organised, the instructor is very well spoken and there is more then just videos and pages of writing. The in-between quizzes are great for people who want to make sure they got what they just took in and I love the fact that there are in video questions that sometimes caught me off guard and made me replay the video, haha. I adore the fact that there are transcripts as well it makes it even easier to follow and even easy for note taking.

Before completing this course, I didn't realize how much of what I knew about online marketing was outdated. I also didn't know how to use it accurately and gauge the effectiveness of marketing materials like funnels. Funnel stages were beneficial and explained a lot about why I didn't seem to be effective in attracting traffic. I am not using tools to improve my marketing blindly, but I understand why they work and how to duplicate that success.

The first part was very necessary to move ahead in the certificate programme. It taught basics of digital marketing and e-Commerce and went in-depth on some topics that was really good. looking forward to take remaining parts of the course to be a superman in the field of Digital Marketing and e-commerce. Those reading this review should take other free courses from Coursera like Excel and Canva etc. to be more attractive to future recruiters.

Great overview, and all the videos were very well designed. The glossary is a great add which you will get to download near the end of the course. If you have little exposure to marketing and the data that marketers utilize you will be introduced to a great deal of enlightening concepts which will not only put you on your way to be successful, but I feel is good for a consumer to be aware of. I am only more enthusiastic about what is to come.

The lecture is insightful yet concise and done in simple terms, so a beginner like me can understand easily. 3. Not only the lecture but also the testimonials and advice from Googlers are inspiring and insightful. This is an excellent course to start in digital marketing.

Great starting point for a new career! This course was a good starting point for a new career. The course layout was designed to provide a general understanding of the digital marketing and e-commerce field of study. Dividing the course into four modules eliminated information overload and provided a starting point for understanding numerous aspects of how to successfully fill a role as a digital marketer or e-commerce worker.

Very well written course and interactive discussions helped me learn basics of Digital marketing. The graphical information was helpful, quiz was fun and popup quiz in the video keeps you alert while watching the video. I thought it would be boring but Coursera reminders and status kept me motivated to finish this segment of the course. Its a long journey but well started. All the best to all students and learners.

The course itself was a great start and foundation for all the basics around digital marketing and e-commerce. I look forward to continuing with the subsequent courses. I'm just disappointed that I have to wait 15 days for more applications for financial aid for those courses, as I can't afford it just on my own. I was under the assumption that my financial aid had approved me for the entire certification program.

This course gave me broader view of online marketing techniques. Though I didn't get an in-depth knowledge but I got the understanding of where I stood in my new career path. This has in turn motivated me to follow my new seen passion with greater zeal so I want to complete all the course in this certificate so I can develop my skill to a new level where I can be better prepared to complete my ambitions and goals.

Strong foundation. Lots of great applicable information. Very well structed and organized. Could be shortened with the integration of reading dictation software while also increasing course awareness for the target market of the hearing impaired. Overall, should be used as a foundational class in high school aged students and broken down into two semester course for middle school age students. Great job!

If you want to learn how to better describe with confidence what you do and how you evaluate success in your field of marketing yourself/others and building + maintaining online store(s) this course is for you.
