Viral Marketing<\/a> is one of the most amazing courses I did on Coursera<\/a>. Even though most of the concepts were already known to me, I really appreciate the way it has been explained through illustrations and references to psychology experiments.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Even though I prefer to do just a few minutes of course everyday, this was an unstoppable course. I was doing the entire week syllabus in a day. After it was over, I felt sad that the next course might not be this interesting.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Why should you do this course?<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h1>\n

This course is not just for marketing professionals. It is for a common man like you and me too. The first week course is about making ideas stick. But after watching all the videos, I realized that those who talk using the principles in this course are the ones who are more likable. Who doesn\u2019t want to be likable?<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

The second week of the course talks about how social influence affects our behaviour. For a marketing professional it is about how to influence the crowd but for you it is about how to think rationally instead of just following the crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

In third week, you will learn how to talk so that people will listen. We talk all the time but we still don\u2019t get it right. This is a chance to evaluate the way we speak.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Last week talks about the pitfalls we don\u2019t see in networking. It talks about which networking is useful for which needs. It made me look at networking with a different perspective.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Why should you not do this course?<\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/h1>\n

I enjoyed this course. But I could not find any immediate actionable points to market any product. But I learned a great deal about social psychology.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Yesterday, when I was in temple, I questioned myself and asked people why they gathered even though it is not a good practise to ask in temples. May be the effect of this course. Or else I would have just stood there just because everyone else gathered. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

You never know what change this course can bring in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h1>\n

Happy doing the course!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
