Have you ever bought a paid course or ebook from someone on X or TikTok, specific to digital marketing? The premise of these is right, in that we should all want to keep increasing our digital marketing knowledge and skills. But I swear I can't login to social media without seeing spam at posts for people hawking their courses and e-books.

I'm just curious if anyone's ever bought from them and do they work?

I’ve not actually bought a course but I did sign up for some free templates with one influencer. I think you should only buy from those that actually have worked at decent companies.

Not with how many vast and more accurate sources there are on the internet. There are so so so many free resources-- TikTok, OpenAI, Google, Hubspot, Salesforce etc. All have free courses from marketing to professional development. LLMs can basically give you guided lessons at this point on any subject for free.

Seems absolutely ridiculous to buy from an influencer who pushes a course online when there are credible larger sources.

I have not
