Estou entusiasmada! Obrigada

Accent of speaker at times difficult to discern, transcript total disaster, no help at all. More show and tell / step by step would be useful: don't just tell me that i CAN do it (e.g. repost or ugc) but show me exactly HOW.

By Abigail Africa on 10/14/2022

It was real interesting to see how easy it is to be able to use buffer to allow you to uplod content on the regular. Also being able to have your adds on Instagram. Definetly learned quite a bit. The material was also presented in a way which makes it easy to understand.

By Katrin Steinhausen on 9/30/2022

Amazing, amazing and did I say amazing? In this course you really learn everything you need to know about Instagram from A to Z. And there are some tips and hints even experienced Instagramers might not know yet. So check it out and do the course. It´s more than worth the time! :)

By Nigel Kitchingman on 2/9/2021

Not been very familiar with the basics is holding me back I am learning things. I also notice my screen layout is deferent to what is been demonstrated. perhaps because its an older down load or because as yet I haven't setup a business page on face book yet and linked them. I will watch the full set of modules then set my business account and redo the course, should help :)

By Jelena Dordevic on 1/21/2021

The course provides basics about Instagram, but it doesn`t really show them all by example, e.g. for the entire course no content was added to the Instagram page they used in this course, although there has been a lot of talk about it. Additional things are not best explained for the beginner level, some things are actually confusing. Instructor Zack doesn`t always speak clearly, I had to listen to certain sections several times. I expected more from the course.

By Veronica Aragon on 12/18/2020

decent beginner instructions but lacks a lot of detail and I was expecting to understand more about strategy. Some of the how-to's are explained but not shown. The instructors happen upon new tools in the videos and are as surprised as the viewer with new features wen they're supposed to be the expert. It feels like they just didn't want to waste the extra time recording a 4 minute snippet, that actually could have been more useful to the student to know

By Habibah Amatullah on 7/12/2020

I've been using Instagram for a few years, I found this course helpful and covered many areas I had tried to figure out myself. It is an excellent course for beginners and I am have learnt a lot myself in terms of how to post, looking forward to the rest of the course...

By Md.Ishak Uddin on 5/5/2020

this course is just awsome. I have learned many things about marketing in instagram. and surprisingly I got this course for free and it turned beyond my expectation.Surely This course will help me and Im gonna apply these steps in my business. Thanks to the creators who made this valuable course for free.

By Lauren Nelson on 10/7/2019

It is a pretty good match, but it also isn't based on places that sell consultative business,such as a law or financial firm. Therefore, I have no idea how to make Shopping Tags work for us, or if they are necessary.
