    It’s a great experience! A quick way to learn new tools for marketing campaigns on Instagram.

  • Dzyan R. Jun 20, 2020

    Content is adequate for a beginner level although the links shared during the course seldom work, seems they have been disabled or pages are missing.

  • Mila P. May 18, 2020

    Very up to date, very clear, very precise with all necessary info in just 4 hours! If you wanted to know Instagram tips and tricks, here is what you should listen.

  • Tomas . Feb 11, 2020

    Good course about how to make the most use of Instagram. Creative Live does not have that many marketingcourses. Though this is one of them.

  • Sandro D. Oct 1, 2019

    Very happy with this class!

  • christine J. Sep 19, 2019

    Enjoying the course Live right now. I came in half way so will need to go through to the next viewing. So surprised how much there is to know about Instagram!!! Can't wait to use it now, after listening to Sue B Zimmerman.

  • Natasha R. Jul 15, 2019

    It is full of info, good guidance on soft skills how to launch a campaign of Instagram. For the neg.: it could be better organized and she is jumping around a fair bit. Sometimes if feels she is using the same techniques to get us to follow her, not giving all info, jumping around, sending me to her page...It's disturbing in a class, because I am already here, already sold. CL did all of that already, I trust them to bring top notch instructors. Why is she still selling? Also, so many showt outs , it's disturbing... I understand they do a good job at what she is trying to convey, but I kept of going back and forth between, and then stopped. It felt more of a promotion(just soooo much of it, I know she gets brownie points with them, but my user experience was less). I would have prefered it, if she would chose 1 or 2 per topic and all the rest could be in a booklet with the course, I she really wants it. I would still recommended because there aren't so many classes on Instagram yet. And if you don't mind the promotion.

    I needed to get up to speed on IG and this did the trick. Thanks Sue!

  • SENSOMEDIA P. May 21, 2019

    Extremely insightful and well put together. My favourite part is that you actually get action items to complete, which helps the process of creating content, and managing campaigns so much easier.

  • Margaret L. Oct 19, 2018

    I have a basic understanding of Instagram. I sort of know how to work the algorithm, but this course provided actionable tips for when I really get into my business' launch. I'm a photographer, and while this course felt as if it was geared more toward other types of entrepreneurs, I found plenty of valuable content to make better decisions when constructing my social media strategy.

  • Stefan L. Jul 16, 2018

    A great content course for someone new to Instagram or not very social on social media and wishing to change that. Sue explains everything she does, how to build engagement with your audience, why you should build engagement with them and gives clear examples of accounts that use the tactics at hand and why they work. If you're looking to establish a relationship with your followers and build your account, this is a very good course to get started with.

  • Kevin R. May 18, 2018

    Wow... Sue knows what she's talking about and she's entertaining while explaining it! She obviously has passion for helping others with Instagram. I have so many notes to reflect on and so many a-ha moments, I feel like this course should be mandatory for anyone creating an instagram profile.

  • Nick D. Apr 26, 2018

    Amazing class, super helpful for understanding how to make your Instagram work for your business. And Sue B is engaging and fun to listen to. But make sure you have a pen and paper ready, because there's so much important information you're going to want to write it down! I'm about to start again from the beginning and this time take notes!

  • Diana G. Apr 18, 2018

    Sue's knowledge is incredibly immense and you realize there's SO much to do to improve your place on Instagram. I took this course to look at how I approach my client accounts. Then I realized an Instagram account I setup for a personal project could benefit because it was pretty stagnant. Within a week I started to get tagged by other Instagram accounts in the same travel niche/interest I'm writing about. Sue's energy is so much fun and she's an encyclopedia for connection on this platform. Take this course and follow her on Instagram, she pops up Live and you learn new nuggets that she'll share on the fly which just adds to the resources she shares in this course. It was also reassuring to see that building your presence takes time, not just time to see new followers, but behind the scenes as you i.e., research the right hashtags to add / build up the tools you need as you post on your feed.

  • Crystal V. Apr 16, 2018

    OMG the other reviewers are 100% correct. I am just echoing everything they have already said. I'm literally only 6 lessons into this course and I spent the entire time pausing over and over to take a feverish and insane amount of notes. Sue is an EXPERT at Instagram. This is not your fluff course with the general things most know. Sue breaks everything down and goes into everything in depth without dragging it out too long. I made the mistake of watching this course at 11:30PM and I had to force myself to stop watching tonight so that I can get some sleep haha. I can tell already its entirely worth the course fee for what you get out of it. I personally never really understood Instagram or the draw to it, so I never spent time making sure that I was promoting my photography business on it. BIG MISTAKE. I'm so glad to be learning all of the tips now to really sit back, come up with a strategy, and plan my posts in advance so that I will no longer let my Instagram sit there unused. Seriously if you are on the fence about buying this one, get off the fence and buy it. I've watched so many creative live courses where Instagram is mentioned briefly without going into it too much, but this one is like everything you could possibly need to know.

  • Tay B. Apr 5, 2018

    Sue is INCREDIBLE! Her energy is contagious and her insights are so helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this class and highly recommend it to anyone looking to implement a more effective Instagram strategy for their brand.

  • Jessica S. Apr 4, 2018

    Usually when I "watch" CreativeLive classes, I'm multi-tasking it along with other business tasks. This class was SO INFORMATIVE that I stopped everything else I was doing and took 7 pages of notes! While the class addresses hyping a launch, I found it easy to understand how to apply the principles on a micro scale in order to generate quality content even when I'm not actually launching anything. There were so many helpful tips and examples, and it's clear Sue B really knows what she's talking about! (And yes, I'm already seeing increased engagement on my IG after implementing some of the strategies from the class!)

  • Riva R. Apr 3, 2018

  • Liz E. Apr 1, 2018

    I follow Sue on a few platforms and have taken multiple Ready Set Gram classes! you could probably call me a Sue B groupie! this creative live hype your brand was very helpful and most importantly motivating.

  • V. Mar 31, 2018

    Sue's energy and passion for teaching is electrifying. She brings technology to life, when it's easy to get all frustrated at the little things. I love her "real life" examples. The ones that make you feel like you can do it too. Nothing feels better than knowing you can accomplish what she's teaching with a few steps and consistent action. I've seen it happen, even for me. Can't wait to put more of her training to work for me. Thanks SueB for all you do! You are the Queen Bee when it comes to Instagram.

  • Joshua P. Mar 31, 2018

    This course was really amazing! I always felt that Instagram was really daunting but Sue taught me how to organize my content to run a successful campaign and how stand out in the different "neighborhoods" Instagram has.

  • Nicte C. Mar 31, 2018

    Sue ALWAYS teaches me something new! I learned on how powerful a strategic launch can be on Instagram. I often felt like I was missing key elements to a launch and she made me realize what I was missing! I’ve been following Sue since her very FIRST Instagram class on CreativeLive and she’s made a profound impact in my business! I KNOW she will do the same for all those that listen to her honest and creative insight.

  • Tanya B. Mar 30, 2018

    The class was very informational, there is plenty of Instagram that we ignore and don’t know how to use to our advantage. Sue went into the information not only with charisma but with plenty of examples that aids you to get a visual grasp on what she is talking about. Now every time I am on Instagram, I find myself applying and even recognizing on other accounts what she mentioned in the class.

  • Jess R. Mar 30, 2018

    I thought I had read about ALL the Instagram tips and tricks for a small business, so I tuned in during the live presentation of Sue. I was SO WRONG! Holy potatoes does Sue know her stuff. I actually implemented her suggestions while watching her presentation, and immediately had more engagement on Instagram. I purchased this class and I'm excited to go through again with pen in hand. Definitely a must have for any small business owner.
