Reviews about Convert Monster — training on the course “SMM manager. Social Media Promotion Specialist, SMM Manager Convert Monster SMM Manager
Hi all!
My name is Anton Petrochenkov, I CEO and managing partner of online marketing agency Convert Monster.
As an Internet marketer, I consider social media to be the most powerful channel for attracting customers. But as an employer, I understand that it is not easy to find an intelligent SMM manager.
Why is it difficult for business owners to find a smart social media specialist?
Low threshold for entry into the profession
It seems that the profession is easy. And you don't need to know anything.
As a result, every student who has read 2-3 articles and has his own group considers himself a God-given SMM!
Look at the resume on hh - the average age of applicants is 18-20 years old. The assets of 95% of them are the promotion of 2-3 dubious publics.
Major achievements? They are not here. But there are ambitions of 70+ thousand rubles.
As a result, the employer gets bots, likes, cats and other nyash-mash...everything except for clients.
Lots of information, little knowledge
There is a lot of information on SMM on the Internet.
The problem is that any person who is seriously involved in SMM understands that 99% of this information is complete crap. It is written by people who are poorly versed in SMM for people who do not understand it at all.
There is no shortage of SMM courses either.
Even state universities already teach the basics of SMM: State University management, REA them. G.V. Plekhanov, RUDN and other reputable institutions.
However, to help you get real results from social networks respected teachers state universities can with the same success with which a eunuch can teach the technique of tantric sex :)
SMM is not taught from books.
It is a working tool that can only be mastered through practice and under the guidance of practitioners.

My name is Sergey Norin, I am the head of the SMM department of the online marketing agency Convert Monster.

4. SMM-manager - a profession from Netology
People love to search, download, and subscribe to free courses, but usually they gather dust somewhere and their hands do not reach, because there is not enough motivation to go through them.

For example, almost all Netology courses have such conditions, including a large seven-month course that involves mastering the profession of an SMM manager. Here they learn how to develop an SMM strategy, set up ads on Facebook, Instagram, VKontakte, MyTarget, and work with the community. The cost is from 54,900 to 74,900 rubles.

Why is online better than St. Petersburg, Moscow and Ivanovo?
But learning social media marketing requires maximum immersion in online - reading blogs, watching videos, chatting in professional communities. Learning in a classroom at desks here no longer makes any sense and is fundamentally not tied to the region. The best experts are still concentrated in Moscow, but at the same time they strive for maximum coverage in the regions via online, so I think that it is not worth signing up for any local courses.

“Disputes about whether courses are needed or whether everything can be studied by oneself do not subside. Looking back on my experience, I can say that the courses are different courses. And Convert Monster is one of those that give real knowledge.
First, intense classes: a few hours twice a week and no water. Second, practice. You practice each lesson on your project - it's very convenient. For 2.5 months of training, I filled in the gaps in knowledge, systematized them.
Now I am not a self-taught girl, but a specialist confident in my knowledge. By the way, not only I noticed this and at the moment I am considering several job offers, but even without this my income is stable and without leaving home I earn more than if I were sitting in the office 5/2 🙂 I am seriously thinking about to continue my studies and go to the course "Internet Marketer".

“Now I don’t have problems with what I should write on social networks as part of the project!”
“To be honest, I was contemplating whether to write a review or not. And do you know why? Because I don't want my competitors to know about this course! I think this is the highest praise that consulting agencies can have.
But still, in fairness, I want to give a HUGE CONFIRMATION to the creators of this course. Every activity has its own product, just like a baker has bread, and a dishwasher has clean dishes. So, the product of the "SMM manager" course is a specialist who knows how to present his product on social networks in such a way as to ensure maximum response and sales from the target audience.
I consider my main “victory” on the course to be that now I have no problems with what I should write on social networks as part of the project! I have already prepared about 40 posts, and ideas are still being born. Now it remains to work out all this and analyze the result. They teach it there too.
Also on the course, I was able to write a content plan and now I will confidently follow it, knowing how to move on. If you are one of those who do not like to rush into the open sea, maybe they will give a ride, but like to clearly know what he is doing - this course is for you.
Now I’m looking for another project: with the course materials that I still have, I’m happy to work everything out again, benefit from SMM and become a worthy pro.”

“The information is structured, according to the work plan, at the webinar you can ask questions, clarify points”
“I have been eyeing the course for a long time, and as soon as the opportunity arose, I immediately went and did not regret it. The information on the course is not secret - it is freely available on the Internet, but for those who have a lot of time to search for information, highlight the essence and analyze their mistakes.
I didn’t have this time, so I went to study with specialists) The information is structured, according to the work plan, you can ask questions and clarify points at the webinar. I took the course with the curator - the example is used to analyze mistakes, the theory is better absorbed. Of course, only practice will give the necessary experience, but a good start has been made. Thanks a lot!"

“Resources and sites that I met on the course, and with which I am now working, increase productivity at times”
“For me, the main thing is the practical benefits and experience that I myself would gain much longer and more difficult.
Actually, I decided to buy while watching a free webinar, because I realized that in this way I could do much faster what I had been going for a long time. Already in the learning process, the fact that it was necessary to perform remote sensing helped seriously, I had to scroll through the lessons several times and, of course, memorize in the process. The analytical part seriously changed my approach to the issue of Internet analytics.
Separately, I want to note that the presence of such motivators as the opportunity to get an internship and the terms of the DZ discipline and allow you to fully integrate into the process itself, to feel immersed in work.
Many resources and sites that I met on the course, and with which I now work, and the methods increase productivity at times, which means they save time with greater efficiency for the customer and for me. This is a serious bonus received thanks to the course.
Well, it so happened) that during the training I decided to temporarily end my career as a TOP manager and develop in this direction, because potentially I see more opportunities for me here, including financial ones.”

“Before this course, I poked myself in the dark. And now I'm walking on a well-lit road"
“The course “SMM manager” puts everything separately and independently acquired knowledge on the shelves. It gives a clear vision of how to work, which KPIs to track, what and how to analyze, which tools and services to use, and much more. Before this course, one might say, I poked myself in the dark. Now I'm walking on a well-lit road.)
Speakers at webinars answer all questions, explain everything to the smallest detail. Homework provides an opportunity to work out the theory in practice, on your project. Just better take a course with a curator! And no matter how bad it gets with time, it’s better to attend webinars online, and not recorded.”

“The course is excellent! Not only did I learn a lot of new things, but I immediately tried to implement every homework into the practice of the company's activities”

Training on the course SMM manager — Review of Convert Monster
tell me something about yourself
My name is Nikita, I'm 22 years old.
As far as I remember, you used to take pictures, and some time ago you moved into SMM and traffic - why? What influenced the change of activity?
To be honest, my occupation with photography was due not so much to love for photography itself, but to an understandable format for earning, at least not big, but stable money. This is, firstly, and secondly, I did not see strong prospects in photography, I was drawn to something more promising and complex.
A couple of random events led me to traffic management and SMM, it was in this area that I found what I wanted - complexity and prospects, and as an obvious bonus - the opportunity to raise good money.
SMM manager - who is it
A few words specifically about the profession of an SMM manager. For me, it's not really correct name activities. The abbreviation SMM stands for Social Media Marketing, and therefore it is Social Media Marketing, and the specialist is called marketer.
And the manager in social networks reminds me of a girl who sits in the office and responds to a message in a group on behalf of the company. It's funny.
How is an SMM marketer different from a traffic manager?
traffic manager- a person who manages general traffic to a particular business from the Internet - a person who must know everything - look for platforms where target people can be, be able to read and draw conclusions from analytics of any level, are not afraid to analyze a large amount of data. It is also necessary to understand social networks from contact to YouTube, and the more you know about them, the better;
A social media marketer is already a more highly specialized business - the entire business is going online so quickly that the number of tools for working with a business on the Internet is growing exponentially, accordingly, it is no longer possible to know all Internet marketing, highly specialized people become more necessary due to their effectiveness - therefore Social Networks with their scale should be studied by a separate specialist.
Why did you decide to go to this specialty? Why did you go to Convert Monster and not Netology or SkillBox?
I chose these specialties because I still want to learn as much as possible and get maximum skills in Internet marketing, but I want to focus on SMM. I compared schools, I liked Envelope Monsters more, to be honest.
Why this one, and not, say, SEO or a website designer?
I studied website design, graphic design and advertising in other courses before that. The knowledge is very useful, I still use it, but it’s rather a nice bonus in working with me - I can comprehensively prepare both the advertisement itself and the design for it - I did the design of the sites too, but only a couple of times, honestly - I didn’t like it.
About SEO, SEO can also be different - there is Website SEO, there is SEO in social networks. I know how to SEO-optimize a video on YouTube so that it quickly reaches the top for certain keywords; But I don’t want to do SEO of sites. Not interested.
And why didn’t you download from a torrent, but decided to go and pay money to Envelope Monsters for training in the SMM specialty?
Three reasons not to rummage around:
- You can't always find fresh courses on the net.
- There is no live connection with teachers.
- When you do not pay, there is no desire to recapture the money.
Tell us about the structure of the SMM Convert Monster courses - how the theory is presented, is there any practice. interesting details, in a word) (who teaches, how many courses go, is there a final exam, if so, what kind, is there a diploma, is it recognized by employers or not, etc.)
Classes are held in online conference rooms, courses are held live, then students receive their recordings in their personal account on the envelope website. There are two formats of training - with and without a curator;
The curator will check the homework that is after each lesson. For those who do not have a curator, the tasks remain on their conscience; I immediately had projects and real customers, so I had nothing to do with DZ, I saved the extra 10-15k and did not lose.
At the end of the course there is an exam. You hand over a diploma. If you pass with excellent marks, you can get an internship in Moscow at Convert Monster. Personally, I did not take exams - I said the reason above;
What are the pros and cons of Envelope Monsters after passing their SMM manager?
The envelopes have practically no disadvantages, the program is a thrill, the presentation is super; I am a very picky type and would gladly give a scolding on all counts - but there is nothing to complain about. It's all right with Envelopes.
What are the responsibilities of a specialist when working on a project?
In Russia, there is no clear understanding of this market, sometimes a girl leads a group for 15,000, and sometimes a person does 1,000 different manipulations and receives the same amount, sometimes a specialist receives a monthly salary for one-time advertising settings ordinary person, and another specialist sits 5/2 at work, not understanding what to do.
Therefore, what kind of project, such and duties are always different.
How to become a SMM manager from scratch - a couple of tips and recommendations for those who do not want to pay thousands of millions of rubles for their education, but want to achieve everything on their own.
If you want to achieve on your own, earn money on your own for training and go through it yourself. You will be young - on your own.
Show off a couple of your cool cases, I wonder what you have already achieved)
I made clients with a price of 1,500 rubles in Moscow - a check from a client started from 25,000 - ROI of 1600% is quite a good result.
Now I am working on very large projects - the development period is up to 3-4 months, the payback period is half a year. So a little later I will brag about big numbers.
How much does an smm specialist earn? And you? paid for the training? If yes, how fast?
Paid off the course. In SMM, you can make from 0 to 10,000,000 rubles a month on your own. If more, then either work for Western clients, or create your own agency.
What do you recommend reading for those who want to understand the profession of SMM marketer in more detail? What specialized sites, books and YouTube channels, in your opinion, are worthy of attention? Where to get good information about the profession?
There is a lot of rubbish on the Internet, so first take courses - find out what's what, get basic knowledge, then you can easily separate sensible information from crap; If you are ZERO in this area, then for you all the info will be cool.
A couple of tips for those who have read up to this point and are interested in training as an SMM manager
You will have to study a lot, but in the end you will understand that all those 1000 goodies that you learn are far from the whole of SMM, and you will discover a completely different side of this work. I came to this recently and realized how much more to learn and how many things to learn. But I won't talk about it, let it be everyone's experience individual person- when he gets there.
Thank you!
