Buen curso de starter. Recomiendo tomarlo si es que quieren tomar el MOOC 3 de este conunto de cursos. Explica lo base para entender los demás cursos. Súper recomendado para cualquier marketero

It's good and inspiring.

But I would say the contents covered are a little general.

However, I would expect this whole specification will help me go deeper into social media marketing.

Extremely superficial. The total content in this course would make a nice introduction segment to a full course.

Informative, but I dont feel that I have much to work with after this course and still feel a bit lost.

I think the content itself is somewhat too theoretical, it does not usually apply to the reality

The course was very helpful. It provided with a huge amount of skills that I will use while working on marketing. I learnt how you can define your market, how you can engage it with the right tools and channels. I also learnt about how I can get their feedback or how I know what they are talking about my business.

I have not been refunded my money in the 7 day trial.

I did not like it, give me back the money or I will do a great promotion of your courses on the social networks in which I am an expert, and I mean YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, I will not rest until they return the 41 euros!
