You learn how to set up your own website, add a store to your site, do the "right" content marketing by adding the content your audience needs, wants and searches for.
You learn how to market your creative and digital products on various sites. Beside that I've included a part about pricing your products, content marketing and social media marketing - from Twitter over Facebook to Pinterest. Beside that, even if you just decided you want to become a digital designer - this course is yours because I have also included a complete guide on Gimp.
You learn everything, from the first steps to creating digital items to setting up your own websites. If you go through this you know at the end how to make a banner and images for your marketing, how to apply and use styles and create various elements and textures.
This course is a big one because it is meant as a digital, self-paced tutor which guides you from the very beginning to becoming an expert in your niche. There is no behind in this course, this course will be your companion answering all your business problems from the very first lesson to doing social media marketing.
If you want to set up your own website you of course need webhosting and a domain but beside that all you need to do is installing the free image editing program Gimp.
We start with a business foundation, you learn about the features of a good business name, you learn how to package your products and set up your store and website. We will also include a newsletter on your website and learn why this is important.
Then we learn how to create images with Gimp you'll need for your website.
We will close our course by doing content and social media marketing.

I lost interest in this course within the first 30 minutes. The course layout is hard to follow. The title of the course does not reflect the main focus of the course. This may be good if you want to learn GIMP, know how to use PhotoShop, or want some information about building a website. The instructor assumes the student knows how to use and has access to the software that she is referencing. For example, she uses Photoshop when she demonstrates how to create a header. There is not enough focus business set up and marketing. I thought would get a startup how-to course; I was not looking for a web design course. A better title for this course might be "Designing Your Online Business Blog".

I have not had a chance to finish the course, but I like the content that I have been able to complete. This course meets all of my expectations and a bonus is Monja's accent. I love listening to her voice.
