I took the Social Media Marketing Essentials course at Stanmore School of Business and it was pretty cool. I learned a lot about how to use social media to reach my target audience and increase my online presence. The course was pretty easy to follow and the instructors were okay, I guess. One thing that was really helpful was the section on social media metrics and analytics - it gave me some useful tips on how to track my performance and adjust my strategy accordingly. The course materials were decent, but sometimes they felt a bit outdated. Overall, it was a solid course and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to learn the basics of social media marketing.
