Tanto el contenido del curso como la presentación son muy completos.
Le da un valor agregado el hecho de que lo presenta una persona con un claro caso de éxito.
Eso sí, hay que tomar en cuenta que el nivel es para personas que comienzan.
Interesará sobre todo quienes deseen llevar a cabo un caso similar al de Charo.
Me ha parecido flojo. La mayoría de ideas se recaban leyendo un poco sobre el modelo de newsletter del que habla Charo Marcos. Compré el curso para saber más de su experiencia en la creacion de su newsletter, pero apenas dice nada, por no decir nada. No lo volvería a comprar.
Es un muy buen curso, me ayudó a comprender la importancia del trabajo que hay detrás de cada newsletter, su creación y redacción y me dio visión para asesorar a mi equipo de trabajo.
Me pareció excelente y muy inspirador. Contenido de alto valor para creadores de contenido.
Es un tema que me interesa implementar en mi negocio. Gracias por enseñarme las claves!!
