Marketo New User Self-Guided Learning Path

As a consultant working with new Marketo customers, I often hear people asking where to start with Marketo for a self-learning path, especially given the overwhelming number of resources online. As a self-taught Marketo customer in my past life, I hear you!

The following is a collection of self-guided Marketo learning resources organized by topic and level to provide new Marketo users the essential understanding of Marketo’s core capabilities to help you execute your daily marketing operations. All topics covered are out of box features only and complement the objective of Core Concept I learning course.

The content consists of a mix of videos which I find helpful to provide overview/introduction in the topic area, product docs that explains technically how specific feature is expected to work, as well as blogs from champions and experts offerings tips & tricks for use cases within the topic.

For new Marketo users I recommend going through the resources based on the sequence outlined below to further build your Marketo knowledge. Happy Learning!
