The concept of email marketing was completely new to me. The tutor in this course has gracefully explained different aspects of email marketing. I am extremely happy to gain this unique knowledge.

This one was very repetitive and could have been much shorter. Most of it was common sense, and if you already have a marketing email tool you use, a lot of this stuff is already obvious/built in. Not as much value compared to some of the other courses.

I failed the final assessment 5 times. I reviewed the content extensively and it simply wasn't enough information for the inter-changeability of the assessment. A large chunk seemed to be demonstrating the ability to apply marketing jargon, and if that is what needs to be measured, offer enough context for the student to be able to do so. A lack lustre definition of SMART dilineations and marketing segmentations was awful to test under. Also, do not focus on anecdotal speaking in the video component if that is a waste of time for the student; in this situation, it was. Rather than spending video time going on about off-road topics, *prepare the student for the assessment.* The more I find that these courses focus on idle information while setting up time-wasting quizzes asking for hyper-understandings of useless definitions, not caring about the student experience, the more I will go out of my way to offer reviews like this one. A brief course like this is not enough time or space for students to learn jargon that e-commerce university degrees would instill, so don't, *or cover the definitions enough to provide adequate proficiency.*

A lot of the questions in the quiz have wrong answers. For example in the course material it was said that Demographic data would items such as Age, Gender, Income Level, Family status, whereas the choices provide didn't meet any of these criterion. Any one taking these courses will be build their knowledge of false information and concepts. Someone really need to review the quizzes to ensure they are accurate.

Highly well-produced course. Of the four I've taken, this was by far, the best for: lesson organization, content covered, instructional design, hands-on experiences, copywriting, and above all - the actress presenting this module. She was engaging and therefore, I was engaged. I wish she could have done all of the courses. She can easily have a career as an actress or voiceover artist!

Love this course. The delivery was perfect. Lots of practice exercises. Also taught goals setting and other important lessons. Major trouble is the difficulty with signing up for Constant Contact.

Really appreciated Miriam's insights as the Google expert instructor for Google Email Marketing. As a Google employee, she described the effects of the "imposter syndrome" as it related to the growth prospects and educational attainment of individuals, just like you and I, that would consider themselves "limited" in terms of their career development and progression. Loved how she emphasized, "when you become an expert marketer" or "as you develop marketing skills" to underscore the organizational benefits of reinforcing digital literacy and focusing on a "growth culture" for both a company and its employees. In joy!

The instructor was excellent—just the right amount of enthusiasm and encouragement. She spoke well; I thought she was the best of the four so far.

The course itself was very informative and well worth my time and money. My only complaint was the final exam. It said that 53% of people did not pass this test on the first try. I can understand why. Even though I passed the examination on the first try (I only got 50% on the second time), it left much wiggle room regarding the right and wrong answers. The test at the end, I believe, should be rewritten.

Due to My Best Guide Miriam I gained a lot of understanding about email marketing. Her Way of explaining things is too good. She herself enjoyed while teaching all this. HHer Warm welcome for every new video, her motivation by saying that you'll become a best email coordinator really made me feel as if I am already one. She taught everything into detail and the activity part was too good. II'm Feeling confident after completing the entire course with activities by myself . Thankyou

Good morning, teachers. How was your night? I hope as you are doing well this morning, thanks to God. I am a citizen of Ukraine. I had medical business in the city of Truskavets in the Lviv Oblast of Ukraine. Likewise, I have a medical license in Ukraine. I have some experience with war. Now I want to get a career as a marketer and bookkeeper in the USA. I learned a lot from your course. I appreciate you, and I am very grateful for the knowledge that you give to people.

This course provides most of the essential skillset in email marketing. It offered me the opportunity to have some simple hand on experience in the automating email system and enough practice in writing effective commercial emails and preparing email marketing results. Most importantly, after I completed my practice assignment, this course gave me the example as the "answer key" so that I knew what I was exactly behind.

So far this instructor was the easiest to understand and follow. She has a good way of speaking without making it sound like she is reading from a teleprompter. As far as the course content goes, I think this one was the most useful so far since it deals with email which has more components than social media since its something you pay to use and have more control of the delivery process.

The lecturer is really an expert on the topic! What I just want to suggest is that I hope that the activities could be peer-reviewed instead of self-reviewed so that we can have a chance to see each others' work to gain insights and ideas and also to hear other students' ideas and opinions with each others' work. Overall, it's a great thing to have. Thank you!

There is so much to learn and understand. I love how there is so much interaction. I love using the templates and saving them for future understanding. I learned PESTLE, SWOT and SMART goals. There is so much going on in this lesson that the transcripts are very helpful to print out. I rely a lot on printing the transcript lessons which is very helpful.
