Muy buena explicación
Este es un excelente curso si tienes interés en crear y gestionar una cuenta Pinterest Business. Anteriormente había tomado un curso de Pinterest aquí en Domestika que me sirvió para darme una introducción sobre qué es Pinterest y conceptos básicos. Y este curso de Mercedes me dio el enfoque de los puntos primordiales de la cuenta Business. Fue un curso muy bien explicado, muy bien estructurado, en el que abarca información valiosa sobre los pins, tu manual de estilo o marca, Pinterest Analytic
