Useful information with explanations, Some sections were for specific tools and platforms. It would be helpful if even just mentioning other service providers as alternatives.
By Janette on 1/18/2023
This video showed the whole process which I great and I lacked in many other videos (from A to Z).
By Crystal Reyes on 10/27/2022
talking over the bullet points with no visual input is not engaging enough, but the content is good
By Lloyd Daniel on 9/28/2021
Great progression of content. Very easy to understand and they explain all the points and parts of the process well!
By Zachary Kalil Saunders on 9/7/2021
Great course! The principles are simple and easy to put to practice. With overwhelming torrent of "information" which is usually just opinions, the simple stuff in this course helps clear up the crap.
By Guven Oguz on 5/4/2021
More details are covered just after 101. Indeed the on-demand merchandise objects etc are not really my cup of tea, but still I learned a lot. Thank you guys for sharing your professional advises so clear and easy to follow. Recommended.
By Daniel Oduja on 1/17/2021
Yes so far this course has been really useful. Need to check in more and listening up as much as I can. Taking in a lot of notes.
By Stanimira Mihaylova on 11/15/2020
I think it would be better if the course is more expanded and there is some sort of exam in the end, to test the learned knowledge
By Nikola Tomic on 11/4/2020
Could've used something more than a bland presentation. Actual video content is always preferable.
By Mark Blair on 10/24/2020
Lots of great strategies and tips, I really enjoyed this course... thank you...
