I have found Google Analytics certificate really valuable. I think this way people can market their social media credential too. Because here you can teach the client about conversion and the traffic properly. So such certificates definitely help. I personally think that Adwords, Analytics and Hootesuite to be a good set of the certification. Many in the industry are demanding it these days too. So I think I'd surely go for some of these because I am into social media marketing. So that should help me in gaining few clients.

Cool, although i took the Coursera lessons and it really cool, it partners with accredited universities and other organizations to bring you online courses on a range of topics and there are hundreds of
marketing and sales related courses on there. Coursera offers the
ability to audit classes for free, or take a class for credit by paying a
fee. Courses have an official start and end date, syllabus and teacher,
just like a real college class. They do have financial aid if the
courses are too pricey. Get discounts on select courses at dealspotr.

I bookmarked this page so that I can go back to all of the certifications mentioned here and see if I am able to receive these certifications. I have of course heard about most of these certifications, however, I have never tried any of these. I once wanted to try HubSpot certification but had to drop my application in the middle because it was a paid certification and I did not have a budget to attend this certification.
I am an internet marketer and I understand the importances of these certifications, when time permits, I may try Facebook and Google certifications.

Maybe I would be interested in the last one because Youtube is getting to be one of the biggest companies in the internet and it is also one of the sites that have great influence on users. When Youtube experienced downtime for 2 hours, there was panic in social media that people are posting to ask the reason why Youtube was down. That gave me a realization that Youtube is not just an ordinary site because I didn’t know that it was really a big site.
