The SMMA Academy Reviews 

Soo much good information! When I joined I was complete beginner and now I feel much more confident with all that info I have access to. It’s not just the course but the community and other content that is there is absolutely incredible and you’ll learn much more then you’re actually paying for! 100% recommend.

So bad, I learned nothing from the course.

Everything is so basic and if you want to learn pro things, you need to buy more.

The reason why you see a lot of 5/5 stars review is in order to receive the diploma from them, you need to write a good review for them, otherwise they won't send you (even though the diploma is worthless itself).

And when someone writes bad reviews, they start reporting it to Trustpilot to delete the bad reviews.

"The part that irritates me the most, is the people in the #wins chat. They are all doing B2B leadgen, and sharing their wins with new academy members, making them think that earning money this way is still achievable, and sander is even posting it, it is legit disgusting, the newbies are getting fu**ing cheated" (read full below).

In conclusion, this is a big scam and not worth 1250€ at all.

EDITED: below is one of another 1 star review that got took down that included all the truths about this scam, I knew they gonna report it to trustpilot to delete that review soon so I copied and paste here so everyone can see it:

THE TRUTH ABOUT SMMA ACADEMY.

For complete beginners who are still students and/or are looking to build a side hustle.

Not a blueprint to $15K, make sure you read and understand that this is NOT community of PROS but beginners and up and coming NEW agency owners.

The ones who are PROS are not as active, share misleading wins or gatekeep their knowledge.

The value from this comes from what you make of it, and what they offer you can find for free.

If you are a beginner, have $1k+ to spare, and don't mind that they fall short in their promise, then go for it.

They don't vet their members properly to make sure they fit in the community and that you have little to no experience so that you actually find it helpful to be there.

It seems like they just tell you what you want to hear and take money from whoever gives it to them.

In Trustpilot you rarely see what members really think, here are a few real opinion other members have shared in the group:

#1
"Its really horrible yeah haha, definitely not the knowledge needed to go to 15k a month i wrote a 4/5 review and told them that on trustpilot. I was then contacted to change it in exchange for pro modules"

#2

"In the beginning I thought it was the greatest thing ever. But when you start to understand the business model and get some experience, you realise that the academy is so outdated.

First of all, they tell people to start with ecom. Which is like the hardest to run ads for. And then they make it sound like a walk in the park. Other than that, they just use outdated methods and softwares.

The only great thing I can say about it, is that it's a fine stepping stone if you are a complete beginner."

#3

"The course seems like a set & forget, there is no updates relevant for the changes in the industry. It's a model following old and useless principles. The part that irritates me the most, is the people in the #wins chat. They are all doing B2B leadgen, and sharing their wins with new academy members, making them think that earning money this way is still achievable, and sander is even posting it, it is legit disgusting, the newbies are getting fu**ing cheated'

Feel free to reach out if you need proof that this opinions are not fake, I have 10+ more of this opinions saved.

They advertise 3 hosts,
Frederik I can't comment about because I've never seen him or read from him. But in his Instagram profile, he wrote he made all of his money is from short form content (not from this knowledge).

Gilberto is in charge of Q&As not Sander, there's a lot of people, answers are very quick & superficial. And he is a media buyer, not an owner of smma agency.

(if you don't believe me, you can check their instagram to see. And in the website, they advertised that those 2 are making all the money from the knowledge that they taught, this is a big lie and totally misleading information).

Sander, just saw him once, smoking a cigar having dinner with his friends, wishing us luck in the Q&A.
Later, he sent a message saying that he was too busy to be involved but that he would do his best.

So what is that $1k+ that costs to join the academy gonna do for you?

It's gonna give you access to information you can find in books, google and youtube for free.

It's gonna give you access to a discord community that you can find in Facebook, Quora, Reddit and other Discord channels for free.

Be smarter!

In all honesty the course was very good. Im from New Zealand and the course has been very beneficial. The group chat could possibly have more admins answering questions but otherwise it was very helpful

The course was easy to follow, but had a lot of great content, even if you have no experience at all like me, The course has everything you need from A to Z in learning social media and able to start your own agency, if you have questions you can go to Sander's discord to get answers from the experts! Great Course!!

This academy will help you take that next step. It has everything you need to get started and is well worth the investment. It surrounds yourself with people to help you grow and gives you life long knowledge that you can use towards anything. Great course

Best in the market. Most complete course for sure.

I absolutely loved the course. It is packed with valuable information and steps, very beginner friendly as well. One of the best parts is the community - being a member of this course gives you access to the group chat with other students and also management (CEO and other advanced marketers). In this group there are no stupid questions and this gives a lot of courage to ask anything. In addition to all the knowledge, you will also receive a bunch of helpful software materials, like templates, seamless systems + website. The ad creting section was a bit confusing in the beginning ( as I am a complete beginner in the industry), but as I went through these videos more than once, it started to make sense and gave A LOT of knowledge.

The Academy has changed my life, honestly the best SMMA Course you could ever buy and also the most technical. The Value for money is INSANE!

insane amount of value and knowledge in this academy! I truly believe that with everything I have been taught in the academy I will become financially free this year!

The academy has been a massive stepping stone in my career of entrepreneurialism. I couldn't have asked for more content or it to be delivered with more clarity or depth. The skills I have learnt have opened up some very promising and exciting doors for me and for that I only have the academy and Sander to thank. Would 100% recommend to anyone.

I am a 16 year old in High School who didn't know what future path to take. This course had been very eye opening with its thorough and in-depth teachings of building a SMMA. Whether it be how to find my clients, or how to actually deliver the results I will be giving to my clients. I can confidently say that in the next 2-3 months I'll be on my path to becoming financially free.

great course! definitely recommend

Great course would definitely recommend if you are interested in improving your smma skills and have no idea of where to start:)

Being 16 knowing the educational system is a scam. I took this course to heart. It took a lot of time, money, and effort to get everything up and running. Starting my outreach tomorrow. Hoping to see great things in the future! I'm glad Sander Stage gave me the opportunity to be the best person I can possibly be. Much looking forward to the results these next few months.

At first I was a total beginner in the digital agency world. I was also very sceptical about the course, but the information and quality in the course blew my mind.

The Material was clear and simple to follow. As a result of the guides and frameworks provided, I gained many skills and knowledge that I was excited to apply. For me the most amazing part of the course is the community and communication. It is more valuable than gold to be able to communicate with the other members and to learn from the knowledgeable instructors.

In total I would highly recommend SMMA Academy for anyone interested in a career as a digital agency professional. It can be your greatest investments in your future.

Just finished the course and gotta say that this course gives u all the information and tools to go out and create your own future. not just the course but the amount of help u can get trough the discord community is insane

At first I was sceptic that the academy wasn’t going to be worth the money. But now that I have watched the entire academy through, I must say I’m blown away by the amount of knowledge you get throughout the course. I feel more than ready to take on my SMMA journey, with all the seamless systems and in depth learning modules the academy has given me.

The academy provides very much value and I got more progress in less time than if I would have got to find these details by myself everywhere. Straight technical knowledge. Also the private community is really helpful to get answers.

This is an honest review of The Smma Academy

And I can't believe I am seeing so many good reviews, saying it is "Technical". That is the farthest from true I have ever heard.

The so-called "technical" frameworks and models mainly consist of Google Sheets document that looks a bit shiny.

Also, Sander claims that the academy is very technical in the Facebook space and that you really learn how to advertise. This is so so so so wrong!!!

Out of all the modules, only 2 of them are situated around actual Facebook ads stuff.

You will NOT get the knowledge to advertise on Facebook from this course.

Please stay away, there is a reason that it looks too good to be true.

The academy consists of 6 phases with 40 lessons (some of them quite useless), it also contains live meetings although they are few and very far between. Sander promises that the live meetings are held every 2 weeks, but he always cancels or reschedules them while partying on Instagram.

Sander also seems reserved and doesn't give that much back to the academy community.

The academy is a SCAM, it is way too expensive.

I really liked the Course because it is very straight to the point and zero bs. No sugarcoating. Sander tells you exactly what to do and it is really easy to understand. I had zero knowledge about SMMA whatsoever before I started, but my god this has really changed me. Very well put together course. The community is also amazing and there is always someone who's willing to give you a helping hand if there is something you can't fix or figure out.
