Our take

Based on the ratings of 24,248 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in January 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

Coursenvy's social media marketing course is a survey. It runs 10.8 hours across 85 lectures and 12 sections, covering Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, Google, YouTube, LinkedIn and a few smaller networks, plus a short blogging and landing page section. It has been on Udemy since 2015 and has about 146,000 students. The syllabus shows Facebook taking roughly four hours, while most other platforms get an hour or less. It was last updated in January 2026.

Most reviewers are happy. Of 24,248 reviews, 13,428 are five stars and 7,424 are four. Beginners call it easy to follow and practical, and one listener likes it for a daily walk. The complaints are consistent, though. Several low-star reviewers say it is slides with a voiceover and no screen recordings showing how to actually do the tasks. One finds the delivery flat. Another says it keeps pointing to other products and skips the reasons behind each setting. One reviewer mentions outdated bits.

It holds our Best Paid Course award in social media marketing, and that fits a course most students rate well. It is a fair pick for a total beginner or a shop owner who wants a map of the options before choosing where to spend ad money. Anyone with real ad experience will probably find it thin, and reviewers who wanted hands-on demos came away frustrated. Treat it as orientation, then go deeper on the one or two platforms that matter to your business.

Best forBeginners and small business owners who want a first look at every major social platform in one place.
Skip it ifYou already run social ads and want screen-recorded walkthroughs or depth beyond platform setup.

Pros

  • Covers Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest, YouTube and LinkedIn in one 10.8 hour course
  • Beginners call it easy to follow, with step-by-step platform setup
  • Reviewers single out practical tips on audience creation and best practices
  • Last updated January 2026, which is recent for a course published in 2015

Cons

  • Low-star reviewers say it is slides and a voiceover, with no screen recordings of the tasks
  • Facebook gets about four hours while most other platforms get an hour or less
  • One reviewer calls it too basic for anyone who already has social media experience
This course is super detailed and perfect for beginners who want to learn a step-by-step guide to all advertising social platforms.
CTS Agency, a student

Listed for all levels, but reviewers say it suits true beginners and feels too basic for experienced marketers.

The course was a great refresher and helped me update my social media marketing skills for 2026. It was practical, easy to follow, and gave me fresh ideas I can apply to my business and client work.

By Shikha Kukreja on 5/25/2026

There should be video tutorials practically showing how to do these suggested tasks

By Bartholomew Ajah Blessing on 5/13/2026

This course is a good memory refresher on how to grow my social media accounts and I look forward to learning more.

By Amida Karim on 4/27/2026

I enjoy listening to the course while I am on my daily walk activity. Thank you so much

By Debra Anne Adams on 2/24/2026

I had an expectation of learning enough to get myself equipped to at least set up and start creating or in some cases edit my social media platforms that has become stale given that I have not used it in years. This course has provided a lot more information unexpectedly, so I now just need to sort out my access, open my new social media sites and feel confident that I can hit the ground running.

By CTS Agency on 1/29/2026

This course is super detailed and perfect for beginners who want to learn a step-by-step guide to all advertising social platforms. It provides excellent suggestions on best practices and offers professional tips for audience creation that I found incredibly helpful.

By Walter Berkowicz on 1/20/2026

There is a significant amount of actionable content in this course.

By Swetha Sreedharan on 1/11/2026

It was insightful and I learned a lot about each platform in detail.

By Justine Colla on 11/10/2025

Good for people who know nothing about social media and are complete beginners and if you are running a business which sells products (rather than services). If you already have some social media experience, look elsewhere. The course didn't feel very personalised, kept referring back to Coursenvy's other courses and products, and did a lot of showing how to set up profiles and use platform features without going into depth of why those decisions were being made. Facebook had 4+ hours of lectures while every other platform had 30 minutes or less.

By Amin Ullah on 11/6/2025

This course is a very good beginner course to social media. It is however very basic but easy to follow although there were bits where a few things seemed outdated. I have learned a lot of marketing techniques and cannot wait to apply them in my next ventures.
