Excellent and simple, but full of what is Digital Marketing and E-commerce at this precise moment, made by Google collaborators who at the same time are technological entrepreneurs. It is the theory and practice and also business mentoring that makes this program so useful and promising to those who will start in this branch of business.

I really learned a lot from this course. I am a small business owner and up until now, I was flying blind. I was making sales on occasion online but now I feel that I have the tools to really see consistent growth and if not I will be equip to look at data to determine where I may be missing the mark. Cant wait until the next lesson!

good review, very informational. Although I did not enjoy the "inclusivity" part of the course. Yes i understand being inclusive and accepting is morally correct, but not everything and everyone needs to be included. People should be included based on their accomplishments and merit as a human being. Not because of Race, Gender, etc...

This was a very good introduction to digital marketing and e-commerce. Not only did it break down what these are, but also how they are used by businesses.

Great foundation! Maybe the course could implement a session where we can easily access our participation in the forums and people's comments as well our comments in others posts. Maybe it would facilitate interaction. Also in this area we could receive a sign showing we received a comment. As Linkedin does: posts, comments etc...

I feel like this course provided an excellent introduction to Digital Marketing. What I especially loved were the videos from actual employees and hearing the stories of how they made it into this industry. The videos are short enough to keep you motivated, but full of information. Overall, fully recommend this course!

Although Google says you do not need any previous qualifications to take this course, I have to say it is not very easy. You should have some idea about the concepts already, and then this course will do wonders building on that existing knowledge. Otherwise, it can be a lot to take in for beginners, but not impossible!

I learned in detail the steps to begin digital marketing, starting with creating a marketing funnel. Prior to this, I had no knowledge of what a marketing funnel was. The most intriguing aspect that I enjoyed was learning how to measure marketing success and define marketing goals. It was entirely new knowledge to me.

Gostei muito do curso, bem claro e fácil de entender. Os exemplos práticos ajudaram demais a visualizar como aplicar no dia a dia. Só faltou talvez mais estudos de caso e uns tópicos mais aprofundados, mas para quem tá começando é ótimo! Recomendo para quem quer entender narrativa de dados de forma simples e rápida.
