Since we started with advanced material, let’s continue along the same lines. This course is for existing marketing specialists and entrepreneurs, with a margin of at least $5,000 per month. That is, it’s focused on a serious and scaling business. The course will be useless for lower-level projects or advertising campaigns with a small coverage.

YouTube Creators

Курс по рекламе в Youtube Developing a YouTube Strategy
Developing a YouTube Strategy course

New mini-course from LinkedIn Learning. It focuses on developing the student’s ability to create an individual strategy for promoting their business. By the way, we agree with the author and have repeatedly noted that even when you work with spy services or similar tools, other people’s best practices should become a part of your strategy, not your strategy becoming a part of someone else’s.
