  1. Great.... really appreciate your effort of summarizing everything like this.

    Once you take time to personally compose a summery of what you've learned, it automatically trains you on the basic concepts.

    Every day, we see people applying for Digital Marketing jobs, without having a clue of these type of basic concepts. This exercise would give you, (and the others who did this like you did) a definite advantage in job interviews.

    Good luck... keep it up.
